Rumours and Stuff

[Joshuatheeel]

Our squad with Jnr and Peats?
That would be top 3 in power rankings starting the season.

And over the cap and playing for no points!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

mclean / Bromwich are both around 195 cm / 115 kg (according to their profiles). That's a pretty decent size.

They are certainly tall, as is Tohu Harris. It's no surprise they have lost two of them to big money offers.

 

[Eelementary]

Sure. But at there best they where superstars.
Manu is good. He aint no superstar

Hmm. I don't know.

I think his numbers are pretty damn good.

I think he's definitely an elite forward, imo.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Re Ma'u. 115m per game for the season is pretty good for a crap year. Sure it's 5 less than last season, but the same rate per minute on the field, and he made a few more tackles this year.

His 115m per game is 15m better than Josh Jackson, and 20m better than Matt Gillett.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

With Semi gone I'd anticipate wing. And we prob spend f**k all at 9.

We had Radradra on unders though. We don't save the amount he's signed for elsewhere, we only save the amount he was on, minus the cost of his replacement.

All I need to know about the Chairman's worth is the number of posts I see in rival team threads by fans saying things along the lines of "M'au would be a great addition to our squad, if parra need to shed players, I'd love to have him"

2 bad games, and that's purely subjective, at the tail end of the year? He's put in a fantastic 3-4 seasons for us and on low salary for the most part. He gets a fair degree of slack in my book and I'd hate to see him anywhere else

This is not bagging you f**king melon head. It is ways to improve it too take next step.
1-7 is fine. 11-13 fine.
We need a decent hooker and 1 or 2 better props. A top shelf prop along with a project prop would be fine.
I look at my team and see where failed and what needs to be improved. This is what ive come up with.

Shut up.

I reckon Semi would have been on 400+ And going by what is left on offer I can't imagine we pay any of those much more than 250. So there is potentially 150-200k

Sure but any replacement doesn't provide what Semi did. You've spent less but you've probably also got less value for money.

Yep which probably means it is even more important to use that money improve our forward pack(given semi was responsible for so much of our go forward)

EELS NET FITNESS GIANT

LOOK for a transformation of the Eels’ strength and fitness next year with the club poaching GWS AFL club high performance manager Lachlan Wilmot.

Wilmot will switch codes to oversee Parramatta’s entire NRL strength and power program — beginning early next month.

No doubt rival clubs will be watching with interest to assess the impact an AFL knowledge-based coach has on the NRL.

The opening for Wilmot at the Eels emerged as a result of legendary trainer Ronnie Palmer moving to Wests Tigers with Ivan Cleary.

All it would do is transfer strength to a different area. Plenty of cheap wingers could provide Semi's go forward but not the rest. And when we had him Semi was on unders. So whatever we lose with him not only has to be made up in other areas but also added to. And when you buy players from elsewhere you normally don't get that value.

Manu Mau>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Plod Jackson.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Manu Mau>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Plod Jackson.

I rate Jackson. I'd be very surprised if he wasn't in the top 10 defenders in the NRL.

 

[hindy111]

Manu Mau>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Plod Jackson.

Jackson is a better player.

 

[hineyrulz]

Jackson is a better player.

Jackson is one of the most overrated players in the NRL. Mau shits on him, has skill, aggression and footwork. Jackson defends well.

600k plus for that plodder good luck.

 

[hineyrulz]

I rate Jackson. I'd be very surprised if he wasn't in the top 10 defenders in the NRL.

Jackson would struggle at our club, he plays in one of the better packs in the NRL and still offers SFA.

Plus Sterlo rates him so he is shit.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Once we sign 2 decent props everyone on here will be saying how shit some of the guys in starting 17 where.....
And we will sign a few. I reckon BA knows we need it. Why he took punt on Rory,Meehan and Evans. Not to mention Frank and Vave. He is desperate to add some mongrel to our pack.

You think those guys are "mongrel"? The thing those guys have in common is they're taller than 185cm.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

World class backrow?

Manu,Tepai,Ke,Brown are good. Hardly world class. There is no sam Burgess, Cordner or SBW in that list. The backrow can match any teams. It is not some awesome dynamic backrow.

No nrl team has SBW. 15 don't have Surgess and another 15 don't have Cordner.

I wonder if this confirms the signing of Junior Paulo? Make the burger drop 10kgs, making him closer to his 2014 weight and he could be handy.
