Rumours and Stuff

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

He isn’t getting a go because he’s shit. Twal is in the team before him, that’s saying something. He would not be an upgrade on the current shit we have now.

Yeh, but it would reduce our exposure to injuries to our current shit.

 

[El Diablo]

Grant would be an ok pickup

 

[lingard]

We don't need another 'good value' forward or a 'decent pick up' forward. Our current pack consists solely of those. What we need is a f**king mega star forward. And if there's none on the market, we wait til there is.

And interestingly this is what BA has been doing, he was even quoted last week saying that, they are looking for the right player.

We should be chasing the Tigers cast offs now??? Shows how quickly we have fallen and how quickly Cleary has turned around the Tigers...

Bulldogs are the ones in massive cap trouble. Reported again last night. We should be raiding them like the good old days.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

"The under-performing Eels are preparing for a cleanout at the end of the season after paying massive ‘overs’ to sign Raiders prop Junior Paulo for 2019.

Paulo, a Kiwi who began his career at the Eels, is all but done on a four-year deal worth over $600,000 a season - money his current club Canberra simply couldn’t match.

Already dead and buried as a finals contender, the Eels are planning for 2019 and have several other big-name targets.

But that means players will have to go, and the club is set to cut up to 10 members of its current roster to complete a makeover for next year.

A host of big names, including Kirisome Auva'a, David Gower, Jarryd Hayne, George Jennings, Cameron King, Suaia Matagi, Kaysa Pritchard, Beau Scott, Peni Terepo, Siosaia Vave and Tony Williams are off contract and many will be told they are free to leave.

The Eels are also likely to offer other players who are under contract for 2019 to rival clubs to free up more space in the salary cap."

Looks like the projector is coming back out

Nah I reckon putting each player into a cannon and firing the ones with players getting the arse would be better.

The only Bulldogs player id want is forward Raymond Faitala-Mariner
Such an under rated player who is a devastating ball runner. Very aggressive in both attack and defence

Insnt that why we couldnt keep Paulo in the first place? We couldnt match the raiders big offer?

The article doesnt say much we all know who is off contract...

 

[Gronk]

I would have thought that $600k was pretty good compared to Woods who is on $1M.

T-Rex deserves a new contract so far, Scott Gower will retire anyway. Hayne Terepo will get a contract if they pull their fingers out.

Stupid article really.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Peni / Jennings / KA / Pritchard are worth keeping for the right price - you still need to fill 30 spots.

T-Rex is worth keeping and probably is now a definite top 17 player if he keeps his form. We need his size.

Hayne needs to show some form to even be considered for a contract.

Wouldnt re-sign Vave / Matagi / Scott / Gower.

This, except I wouldn't want Pritchard as anything other than a backup.

 

[Gazzamatta]

So our premiership window was one year and we blew it? Bloody hell. We better get it right next time. Im getting older by the minute.

I wouldn't want prichard as a back ups back up.

He is horrible and easily the worst dummy half in the comp. The Luke Kelly of dummy halves.
