Rumours and Stuff

Good luck with Papali'i guys. Hope he goes well for you.

Not a game changer, but is pretty reliable. Sort of guy who you question if he even played and when you look it up he's got 30 odd tackles and 70-80 metres.

Will be interesting to see where you play him.

I reckon Bankwest Stadium at least half the games, then various other grounds the other half

leave the negativity to @hineyrulz

Yep, all amateurs ffs!!

He considers himself a second rower, but is better suited as a lock/middle forward, Payten used him as a prop in the second half of this year.

Considering you have better second row options (At least to start) then I'm curious to see what the plan is for him position wise.

We’ve lost Davey and Lane is moving to the middle (he has been playing there mid game in the later rounds). So starting edge will be Nikore and Matto. Nikore also provides great punch when he plays in the middle, so I reckon there is a bench spot for him easy.

Don't remember Niukore playing edge much this year, against Melbourne when we had to do a big reshuffle?

We need to sign an edge or two.

We lost Davey taka and Lane seems to of moved more to middle.
Any juniors ready mate?

 

[Kornstar]

Yep that’s who. I recall it was a water incident. What ever happened to him?

Pretty sure that it was career ending.

Niukore doesn't play on the edge anymore.

Lol Stefano was on a development contract this year (which is less than 100k) https://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2...players-and-young-faces-join-2020-pre-season/

Was upgraded and couldn't be bothered trying to find article.

Well he didn't as we had Davey, Lane and Matto. But he has and still might unless we sign another. I don't recall that we have any kids coming through ready to step into top 30, do you ? We still need to sign 9 players so the landscape may change.

Why would we have upgraded him when for 1 year when he was leaving anyway, particularly with us being allowed to play development players in this covid year? And even if we did, why would we have over tripled his salary for this one year paying him almost 300k?

We still have Lane and Matto and now we have have Papali'i who is more likely to play on the edge than Niukore.

I don't know, do I look like the HOF?

Because Stefano getting an upgrade from a development contract to almost 300k in the final year of his contract (when he had already signed with Tigers) didn't happen.

[84 Baby]

I read a totally legit article that said we upgraded Stefano to a billion dollars for life

He was upgraded to the top 30 (probably to fill our squad) but there is no way it wouId have been $300k, that’s just stupid when he held the upper hand....
Hey Stefo, you are on a $60k development contract, we want to promote you to the top 30, on $100k. Stefo, na that’s not enough. Eels, ok enjoy the season doing the same on $60k.....

here is the upgrade ( pre covid):

https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www...ikamanu-to-keep-him-from-tigers-clutches/amp/

absolutely no evidence of the upgrade being $300k (only Scott Seward wouId do that)

I think the $300k was what we allegedly offered from 2021 onwards

 

[84 Baby]

Na Stefano was defs on $300k. And now that is free for us to spend next season!

Upgraded to top 30 in January according to the official Parra site.
