Davey?

 

[strider]

I thought he was good last night, he's possibly even better than his brother. But he's only a small bugger. Will be interested to see how he goes long-term. The game probably suits the Brailey combo pretty well atm

I reckon he is much better than his bro .... his bro is just a solid tackler - which is important ... but i think the little one is still solid in defense but a superior attacking player

I thought the Moses deal was a bit out-of-nowhere, but now it makes sense.

Jayden reminds me a bit of Matt Keating in 09. Great defender and can have a decent game here and there but not much to his attacking game

More about above. Soz I can’t crack the paywall.

Parramatta Eels table $4 million offer to keep Mitchell Moses and Clint Gutherson

Parramatta have launched a raid worth more than $4 million to keep rival clubs from circling key players Clint Gutherson and Mitchell Moses.

The Sunday Telegraph has learnt the Eels have tabled significant contracts to the duo having identified them as key to the long-term future of the club. Gutherson was offered the richest deal in his career — a contract worth almost $2 million across three years. That deal was significantly upped on the original $450,000 offer the Eels made to their captain before Christmas.

Gutherson has rejected the current offer, preparing to test himself on the open market. But the Eels have not given up hope of securing Gutherson long-term.

Moses has rebounded with his good form reflective of a substantial $750,000 a year offer which is now in the hands of his management. Eels officials have made retaining the duo a priority among a host of teammates who are off-contract including Tim Mannah, Michael Jennings, Daniel Alvaro and Manu Ma’u.

The Eels are also expected to launch a bid to lock in five-eighth Dylan Brown on a long-term deal before the end of next month. Brown, who is sidelined with a back injury, is not off-contract until the end of 2020 but the Eels want to keep the half on an extended deal before rival clubs pounce.

Coach Brad Arthur also won’t know his fate until June with the board putting off a decision on his long-term future until the season reaches its midway point.

Parramatta are also hopeful of extending veteran Tim Mannah’s deal by a further season. The Eels are keen on keeping the highly popular Mannah at the club once his career ends. Mannah has suggested he could test the open market but the 31-year-old could finish up as the second-most capped Eels player of all-time if he remains at the club.

Jennings has also sprung back to form. The 30-year-old is in the final season of a rich four year deal he signed after being part of a Roosters premiership winning side and rising to be a representative star. He could be granted another contract but at a cheaper price.

Alvaro, Ma’u, Tepai Moeroa and Brad Takairangi are among the other off-contract players who could have their deals extended.

Parramatta have made no secret of the desire to lure a big front-rower to join the club having missed out on South Sydney’s George Burgess for this year. The South Sydney prop remains off-contract with the Eels on the lookout of adding some bulk to their middle.

A strike centre/edge back-rower is also on the club’s radar. The Eels re-signed hooker Reed Mahoney until the end of next year and are planning on promoting a host of juniors into the top squad in the upcoming seasons — an area which has long been neglected by the Parramatta club.

I'd let Jennings go, Salmon should take his spot and use the money to top up Gutho, Moses and Brown.

Thomas Flegler is off contract with the Bronx, might feel like with so many young talented forwards up there that he'd need to move on to get an opportunity.

Keating? Take it to the Federal Election thread you f**king lefty!

They were the Keatings we had to have.

There was never a Keating that I had to have.

I’d let Taka go before Jennings. I’d prefer all our current middle forwards before Flegler.

Not sure Flegler is worth the wraps tbh. He's had one huge game but that's it.

I don't see him as offering too much more than Oregon or Stefano in the long run, maybe even less...he's just a bit more advanced than those two.

On Jennings I'd wait and see, if he keeps playing well offer him another year or two at around mean FG wage. That still frees up a good 400k or so if he accepts, and if not, no big deal.

The thing with Jennings is just how much money he is on. I imagine its double what Taka is on.

I think Flegler looks like a very promising young player. Much prefer to invest in him than make a huge splash on an established guy.

Jennings will need to take a pay cut. No club is going to pay him what he is currently on. As for Flegler, I think he is just average and compares with just about every one of our middle forwards:

Round 1: 2 runs, 12m, 0 tackle busts, 3 tackle busts, 11 tackles, 1 missed, 0 ineffective
Round 2: 16 runs, 178m, 22 tackles, 1 missed, 3 ineffective,
Round 3: 8 runs, 77m, 0 tackle busts, 12 tackles, 0 missed, ineffective
Round 4: 3 runs, 16m, 0 tackle busts, 22 tackles, 1 missed, 1 ineffective,
Round 5: 9 runs 76m, 1 tackle bust, 20 tackles, 0 missed, 0 ineffective

He stands out because he's on TV every Friday night and the f**ker has red hair so Fatty keeps pointing him out.

agreed on Jennings!

On Flegler, he's an 19 year old with 5 games experience. Those stats actually look quite good. He's got a big frame with plenty of room to grow. He runs hard with no non sense through the middle. Give him a couple of years i think he's gonna be quite a good player. If i was Mark O'Neill i'd be picking up the phone and inquiring.

If anything i really don't want us to sign George Burgess, He's shit!

Yeah but Oregon Kaufusi is a 19 year old with about five games experience. He's bigger than Flegler as well.

Stefano Utoikamanu is an 18 year old they allegedly wanted to get into FG last year, and he's bigger again.

How big is Oregon?
