Rumours and Stuff

[Gary Gutful]

I’m sure he got something on the way out, but if we freed up 600k I can see this as only a positive for the club.

I’m sure you’ll find a way to turn it into a negative at some point.

And if they lose Widdop Lomax is their first choice goal-kicker. Maybe even with Widdop there. They just re-signed Lomax for another two seasons, too. We might well have asked, and the Dragons probably laughed in our face

Aitken is on the outer after some poor performances. They've lost Mann, Nightingale and McDonald. Dufty is allegedly on the outer and may not play first grade. FFS Peta Hiku plays for the Warriors, which shows how much you've thought about this...

All you ever think about is how to bash the club, no matter how tenuous or illogical or downright idiotic the criticism is. And this one is probably the stupidest yet...

Plus, even if the Dragons do miraculously agree to give us Lomax, the player himself actually has to agree to the release. This isn’t the NBA where teams can trade away players whenever they want to. Lomax would have to want to leave and come to play with us...which at the moment doesn’t seem likely.

Maloney would only be good for 2019 not 2020, he has already regressed too much. Maybe with an option in our favour for 2020.

Surely we can fit Segeyaro in our squad now. Dylan Brown should now be blooded from round 1 at 7 with Moses at 6, Gutherson at 1 and Salmon in the centres.

Good call on Brown, Moses, Gutherson and Salmon... although Parry might force his way into the centres, but I reckon they could even be training like you have listed them.

Salmon won’t get a start anywhere immediately due to serving his suspension.

He won't be suspended for a low-range incident... and if he does he might just miss the trials.

 

[Kornstar]

How exciting, we release Norman to free up money to sign Hayne.

#5weekstoolate

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Well it's just lucky that he drove into some unoccupied cars then.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

We should hit the Dragons up for someone like Jack De Belin.

So - execellent timing then

It was supposed to be tongue in cheek......

Should swap The Plane for him. They appear like a like-for-like swap at the moment.

f**k. Can you imagine the hullabaloo if Norman had gone, Haynes signed, then whack... Merry Xmas eels and it's loyal fans.

How long was it and how long was Inglis?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Inglis got two games.

We don't have a Plane to swap, though we do have a spitfire under construction.

 

[eel01s]

What can you say about Norman? He has all the skills you could want in a half. If only he applied himself even half as much as Cooper Cronk, he would be a rep level star.

We saw the best of Corey in Eels colours, however unfortunately just not consistently enough.

 

[Eelementary]

Not quick? In what terms? He isn't as quick as say French, Addo Carr or Roberts but he's plenty quick enough to play fullback.

I also don't agree with the little to no skill. Again he doesn't have the flashy pass of Bevan but he uses it more effectively.

I don't think either fullback is necessarily better than the other one. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. I see French as a fullback you use when your one of your halves is weak in ball-playing ability and he can step-up and be that second "five-eighth". Would be a good fullback if we were to have Salmon or even Gutherson in the halves. I can't see either in the halves when we're at full-strength, I think they'll be moses and Brown and I think Guth will work better with their styles than French would.

In my opinion, the only thing Gutherson has over French, is size.

French is quicker.

French has more skill.

French has an uncanny ability to score tries.

Gutherson is fine in the centres, I think.

 

[lingard]

I bet you he kills it and goes on to play origin. Parramatta has a really toxic environment for players on the brink of playing rep footy. We seem to hold them back.

I think Ben Hunt could be an ideal halves partner for him.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Inglis got two games.

2 international games. He didn't receive a ban for an NRL game. Papalii who blew a reading of .123 received a 1 NRL game ban and 1 international game ban. Wonder if we could drum up 2 meaningless international games for Salmon to serve his suspension?
