Rumours and Stuff

[Gronk]

I’m personally glad to see the back of Tep. Wish him nothing but the best but he’s not improved at all in recent seasons. You could argue he’s actually gone backwards. Looking forward to seeing who we go after to replace him and Mau.

It’s all about replacing him with a better player. Same goes with Manu.

So as much as both players have either plateaued or even commenced their decline, the whole process will be for nothing if they don’t replace them with better players.

And better players being available and wanting to come.
We may even replace them with worse players

Very very skinny in that edge back row position atm.

Wonder if taka re signs or Salmon spends some time there off the bench?

 

[Glenneel]

Club is definitely making some important decisions .
Mau gone. Tick.
Tepai gone. Tick.
Mannah gone. Tick.
Fingers crossed Taka is next.

What happened with Mannah. Haven't read anywhere about his future, assumed retired?

We have Fainga'a and also Salmon who could play back row atm but will obviously need more. Do we go to the shops or bring juniors in? Also Kaufusi and Stefeno to come into middle with maybe Welch and who to come as additional middles.

Off contract is skinny too around the NRL. Interesting to see how we replace Ma'u in particular. Corey Oates was on our radar last year and he still wants to platy second row allegedly, but beyond that and a few old bastards you're looking at probably Joel Thompson as the best option. Grim

Lane and Niukore were both playing 80 mins early in the year but you still need some depth...

Salmon spent some time at fullback last week for Wenty.

It's going to be really interesting where Salmon ends up.

Alex Glenn?

 

[hindy111]

As it stands Lane and Nikuore are our only 2 contracted wide forwards.
We need to sign 2 more. Taka would be handy at right price. Great utlitly

 

[Bazal]

Alex Glenn?

Reckon he's past it, personally. Could be an ok addition off the bench I guess, he's certainly a leader.

If we did go for that sort of player I'd much rather Maubusson myself.

Of course there are probably a few shifts to occur with teams letting loose on contract players too. Interesting.

Anyone but f**king Taka, please...lol

 

[hineyrulz]

Alex Glenn?

He’d be a decent depth signing for Wenty.

The eels are done with the Frichard, Williams and choc Watmough moments. We either sign players with future potential and/or players who will make a difference. Glenn is on the downslope and will offer nothing we don't already have.

Like Kane Evans?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Evans Above!!

Like Kane Evans?

I believe evans was signed before the big change that came during the early part of the 2018 season. A massive wake up call for Gurr.

Luckily, Evans is now putting in, but 3 years was definitely way over the top.

Since then we've signed Ferguson, Waqa, Sivo, Lane, Jnr + Welch .

Ge I got in wrong with Jack Hethrington. That guy is a bust.

Told ya!

Just because Ivan Cleary doesn't like him doesn't make him a bust.
