Rumours and Stuff

[eels_fan]

$900k is the minimum it will cost to get Keon

$1m from the dragons but then you have to train in Wollongong every day which if you live inner Sydney is a pain in the ass (unless they are sending the helicopter every day)

Is that the type of troll that gangs up on merkins so they can get likes? Coward

YES

I keep hearing from Journos on podcasts and radio that the club is in a good spot were on the up and Carayannis said today on SEN when they did a dive into Parramatta's prospects for 2026 he keeps hearing from people inside the club its the happiest has been in a long time with what Ryles is building.

So what's missing when it comes to convincing high calibre recruits to join.

We just lost 2 rep quality players on there day out the door and while both had there own flaws.

Have they been adequately replaced.

Lomax looks like it will be replaced by Brian Kelly who i rate in the bottom 5% of centres in the game which will cause some reshuffling in the backline.

Dylan is being replaced by Pezet on a Loan deal basically.

We keep talking up how good our juniors well sorry for being cynical but i have heard the same stuff for 20 years.

MON did a puff piece with News corp in March 2024 about our SG Ball side that won in 2023.

And he labelled 7 players coming through the ones to watch and club was finally ready to produce first grade talent.

The 7 players - Matt Arthur, Ethan Sanders, Blaize Talagi, Josh Lynn, RIchard Penisini, Charlie Guymer, Sam Tuivati.

Well 4 of them are already out the door, one can't get himself fit enough to get through 6 weeks of footy & the jury is out on Guymer.

Tuivati well i guess we wait & see looks promising but needs game time.

Jarryd Hayne/Krisnan Inu duo remains probably the last talented juniors i have seen us develop that you sat back and went very early on gee we have a few prospects here.

Both were playing rep footy in 2007 at 19 years of age.

Disagree regarding Kelly he is just as good as anyone we have or better

In attack probably, but in defence he’s Harper-esque

 

[Delboy]

If reports are true (and they might not be), Lomax was on unders here. Good job MON/Serdaris? But also, was this why he wanted out so soon?

The front offce specialises in signing distressed assets looking to get out of where they were, or similar. Still to get a signature from a rep type player in competition.

The $5 million man: NRL club willing to make massive play for Koloamatangi

He has been linked to the Dragons, Eels and Raiders.

Dragons are desperate

Should the club match their 5m over 5 year offer?

I think Saints are going to blow everyone out of the water with their offer to Koloamatangi.

yeah well it's a rare player who experiences success after going to a club for a blow your dick off payday.

Anyone can 'coach shape'. Go and look at our highlights from that period. Many of our tries (of which we scored plenty) included decoy runners. Here's one from 2017:

There was a period we were quite good spinning the footy, pretty sure that had to do with peter gentle being at the club.

Its a sellers market atm

Who ever we go for we're going to be paying a high price, lets hope the player is worth it.

I kinda agree but seem limited viewing of him the last 2 seasons. Ive heard his defense is ordinary

I hope so

It's to early to tell on Sam but he could be very good. Guymer could get flushed out of system . He does have a decent motor. Just lacks power and gets ragdolled. Ot exactly what you want from a prop.

We now have a faster Penis.

Re watching the last game of the season on YT, Guymer played a lot of 13 with walker off the field. He might be successor to Walker

According to Braith we knew Lomax was gone before we got Pezet


“Parra didn’t offer a long-term deal. It may have been there if I pressed it but when Zac (was released), it freed up some money,” Anasta said.

“Then that’s when the conversation reopened about a year at Parra and then back to Melbourne. Then the conversation around Brisbane came in.

TPAs or paying overs. That’s the only way it’s done. Not some magical ‘negotiating’ ability. Money talks. Nothing else. They keep extending Moses, despite competition. I’m sure we’re the highest bidder.
