Rumoured Targets 3

[Woody90]

I'm sure somewhere in the next 10 years a decent halfback will hit the market

jeez that sounds like a reassuring and exciting prospect

Canterbury just signed the most overrated player in the comp from us.

Did U watch Brown play on the weekend?

You’re not seriously blaming Brown for that are you? Your entire side was completely out of its depth against one of the premiership favourites. If you had Moses in there instead of Brown I can guarantee you he would not have fared any better.

The Eels have a f**k load more problems than Dylan Brown.

You still won't have one next year.

 

[perverse]

Ok. Enjoy the most overrated player in the comp. Sharpe will be better then him soon. I'm sure somewhere in the next 10 years a decent halfback will hit the market

And it could be about 8 years too late to keep Ponga at the club. If Sharpe is better than Dylan Brown soon then we are f**king laughing! God I hope you're right on that one.

Did U watch how Brown played? He was awful. But keep drinking the hopium.

Yeah he was bad, just like the team he was in with zero go forward from the forwards, no talent in the outside backs, no hooker and no defence. Hey, you should be happy, maybe you’ll have some money now to fix the issues…you seem very angry though.

I don't think the club is basing its opinion of the kid on one game, or even one season - but rather his breadth of work since he was a teenager. If Parra didn't have a basketcase of a team around him, he might look a bit better. He might not, but I'm going to back him in. Parra were woeful last year and somehow look even worse this season.

Danny Levi is returning home to Newcastle in 2026. His missus was also at Dudley today looking at properties.

I'm sure Lakes could use a hooker.

I'm sure Lakes could use a hooker.

No thanks. Happy with Campbell Woolnough. Levi should pursue his hairdressing dreams.

 

[macavity]

I'm sure Lakes could use a hooker.

Dudley is Central territory

Surprised he isn't heading back over to the ESL, he is decent quality for over there.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Levi bleeds red and sometimes blue depending on his Cyanosis.

Actually I've been posting how happy I will be to see him go for some time but I'm empatic towards the knights and I think this will prove to be a bad move. You paid elite halfback money for a defensive 5/8. It's not going to go well.
I've been watching him closely for years now. He hasn't progressed at all .

Yep. Eels fans like to keep saying that Brown can’t perform when Moses is out but fail to mention that the Eels winning rate when Moses played last year was 38%. Sure it was marginally better than when he’s not there but that’s still horrible. Does that make Moses a bad player? Of course not. What it tells me is that squad and set up is not at all optimal for halves to be able to play their best football. Will be he able to improve at the Knights? Who knows, we seem to think we’re a good chance of helping his development. If not it was worth a swing.

I'd be happy to do an immediate swap for the Gambler. He can kick and at least gives a shit.

Gamble also wouldn’t do any better in the Eels current squad…but still no. You can have Cogger if you want.

 

[mozza91]

This Parra fan is totally fine with him leaving. That’s why he can’t stop posting about it.

You wouldn't take Brown for Gambler?
Ok.

 

[Woody90]

Ok.

I’d obviously take Brown for Gamble, but we can keep both. I’d prefer to have Gamble for injury cover over Cogger.
