Sorry Eels fans we need to fill our cap so we are going to overpay these deadshits
That’s how inflation happens. More demand for the same amount of supply. The NRL demands we spend the money they give us. It’s not our place to tell them it’s too much.

Maybe it’s because when we bring them out to see our swish new COE, they discover that it’s out in the middle of f**king nowhere.

Who the hell wants to drive to Kellyville every day?
Oh, and Belmore is similar to what, Bondi , Sydney is a big city, where’s Penrith for instance. The 2 biggest junior leagues are where, Western Sydney.
Cronulla is isolated and don’t even have a NRL level ground.
Should comment how the roster is close to the cap and signing older non rep players is going to help.

Why do they need to be elite or even very good? They just need to be good enough, which depends on their salary. Merkins are pumped about the likes of Koina and Petrus, but they are nowhere near as good as JDB right now, and might never be. Giving them his spot in the NRL side won’t suddenly make them better players. It could be three or four years before these young forwards are at the level he’s at now, and he could be gone by the end of the year so he’s not blocking them.
We have have “good enough” players in our squad right now. We don’t have enough elite or very good players which is what we need to be building.

Yep unfknbeleivable, we must suck big time to have to pander like this, this club is cursed for the foreseeable future”future “ luckily we have money, if criteria was key we would have gone out 30 years ago
We have been fairly average over the past 30 years. By average I don’t mean bad, I mean middle-of-the-road. It’s not a failure. We have been unlucky not to convert a grand final to a premiership. We’ve won enough games.

A large number of outside backs who didn't get a run in their 1st grade last week who probably walk into our side
Izzak Tago
Rock Berry
Jesse Arthurs
Grant Anderson
Jeral Skelton (bye 1st round but now looks on the outer
Blake Wilson

The first 3 would improve us.
Skelton id take a punt on but probably wouldn't bother with Anderson whereas Wilson is probably better than Simonsson and Kelly

Doorey was unable to play 20 minutes last week. Do we really have sufficient ‘good enough’ players?
Paulo was good enough last season (we’ll see if he finally hits the wall this year). Hopgood played origin before his back injury. Williams is a hard worker. Kautoga and Tuivati are promising young players that haven’t hit their ceiling yet. They need to complemented with above average players.

How many times do you want Wilson to say no to us?
