Rumours and Stuff

[Matty Bhoy]

We lack a serious amount of leadership...signing young blokes like TPJ and Su'a won't help with that issue.

Give me either of those two over the next Watmough/Scott scenario. Scott being a fairly extreme example admittedly.

Kikau re signs. How does Panthers not loose ant good young ones they want?

Anyone who comes on here gloating “I was right all along” is an absolute moron.

This is a forum about RL and in particular the eels. The one thing we all have in common, it should unite us all. But I guess it’s the ego’s that get in the way.


So if you’re here to gloat, GTFO

Because they don't have shitkents like Evans on 350+ and Hoffman on 300 + languishing in reserve grade taking up cap space, wake up.

Who brought these players in ??

 

[El Diablo]

Well I was right. We shouldn’t be top four favourites. But the squad should definitely make the eight, as agreed by the experts.

i predicted bottom 4

Evans on 350+ and Hoffman on 300 +

lol

you wouldn't be close

Definitely over half a mil lost buddy. Both were experienced first graders at the time they were signed.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Isn’t pretty much everything said on here just guesses and predictions? By that logic none of us are wrong. Thanks Pou, I feel much better about myself now.

Talking about what we have observed isn't a guess or a prediction. Talking about what will happen in the future is.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Nah, teams don't drop bloke's if they're paying them big money.... I mean Kane Evans is just really really really really really, reeeeallly unfit.... That's why he's been running around for Wenty....

Yeah because we obviously spend big money on our middle forwards.

Don't they have the highest TPAs in Sydney?

And you've got no idea. You're like the office chick who wins the tipping comp based on which mascot could eat the other each game.

It depends on demand, not just experience.

I just came across this image...

I hope the big fella doesn’t hold grudges.

Don't stgeorge have the lowest.
Don't the dragons have one of the best packs in the comp ?

 

[emjaycee]

Yes we can and should be. But the cap is finite and BA seems to be recruiting for every position except where our need is greatest.

I think your view is that our need is greatest in the forwards, am I right?

So far we have signed Paulo and Lane, with strong rumours we have signed Musgrove from Souths - that's 3. Big chance we re-sign Williams and Niukore who are off-contract - that's 5. Slight rumour we are close to agreeing terms with Hipgrove from the Titans - call it 6.

So looks like 6 coming in (4 new).
Vave, Matagi, Gower and Terepo out - that's 4.
Add the forwards already under contract for 2019 and that gives us 14 with one spot available, if we want 15 again. So still some room to add Marty Taupau.

We could end up with a forward squad consisting of:
Paulo, Mannah, Alvaro, Musgrove, Evans, Taupau, Brown (Middle)
Lane, Williams, Hipgrave, Niukore, Ma'u, Moeroa, Stone, Takairangi (Edge)

Will that do you FFS?

Our biggest need is a 9. If Norman leaves then 6 becomes a huge need too.

Thanks to back ending they have been able to assemble a solid team and might win their first finals match since the 2010 grand final. They're hardly an example of consistent success without TPAs.

Nathan Brown (the Newcastle one) said that if you want a dumb footy team then get a dumb 9, because that's where it all starts.
