Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Luke Bowden]

At this point, Longi is at the beginning of his career, time will tell

He’s going to Parra….. time is not on his side….

He’s going to Parra….. time is not on his side….

Well it will be under different circumstances and structures, hopefully that will not be the case

 

[The Predictor]

We h

We have kids in flegg as good .Penrith find fullbacks like you eels find wooden spoons

True in regards to your set up, see what happens, our jersey flegg are humming along as well at the moment, let’s see how things pan out, thing change very quickly…by the way we are only a couple of wins behind in the flegg

Parra supporters so excited and knowledgeable about their new fullback they can’t even spell his name correctly.

Iongi 🫤

 

[mxlegend99]

I mean, obviously Iongi is better than any of the Eels players. He has been part of the best system and development in the competition. He's our third best fullback which is a pretty decent honor.

But every season he spends at the Eels he will slowly regress to be an Eels quality player and his career will have peaked in his first two seasons unless he goes to a club like Roosters, Storm or returns to Panthers. Which I don't know if we would fit him because we will have about 3 or 4 guys fighting for the #1 jersey by the time Edwards lets it go.

Well at least you have hope to hang onto I guess…. Personally I think your a good chance for a few spoons…

I Panther fans are ruthless, why all the hate?

I Panther fans are ruthless, why all the hate?

Nothing personal, I dislike all other teams equally… except the Roosters, I have a particular dislike for those wankers

 

[Hamstring awareness]

To be fair plenty on here got it wrong too.

Also Alamoti is routinely spelled “Alamonti” to this day by our brains trust so I’m not going to be too critical.

 

[maple_69]

Which raises the question. Why do I see Toletau so much?

 

[Hamstring awareness]

This board is hard of reading?

[martielang]

I love how shit Iongi has suddenly become, purely because he’s signed for another team…

 

[Avenger]

Can anyone tell me Iongi's height and weight? Also need confirmation that he is infinitely faster than Blaize Talagi?

I haven't seen Blaize really sprinting in open space but Iongi certainly isn't that quick in open space. He's quick enough but compared to many of the backs in the NRL it isn't anything to write home about. I doubt he'd be quicker than say Dylan Brown. I'd say he's pretty quick in his first 5 or so steps which matters in NRL but isn't really something fans get hyped over. He has ball playing ability but it certainly doesn't look as strong as much as Blaize in that area or at least he doesn't try it as much.

I'd take any the height and weight stuff with a grain of salt. It's often wrong or written down years ago before multiple pre seasons where people get bigger.

Iongi's deceptive strength is his best physical attributes which combines with his good footwork. He does little steps before a big step which means he can cut sharp angles and step forward with power and those steps synergise well with his deceptive strength. Jarome Hughes steps like that often as an example.

 

[GowersDallyM]

Surely we take a look at Jack Bird...can play multiple positions and if we could snag him for say 500k a year I think he'd make a great hole filler. Yes plenty of injuries but we'd use him alot different to the drags

I saw Blaize trying to catch Bradman Best. Blaize looked like he was on a treadmill with the incline set to 15.
