THE Bob Foster???

Anyone who fights Ali and Frazier and dominates at Light Heavyweight has my respect. I wasn’t aware of his primary school feats to be fair.

EELS

Retention targets: Nathan Brown and Maika Sivo loom as the high profile Eels off-contract. Sivo will be in line for an upgrade while Brown is now in the Origin squad. Blake Ferguson needs a total reverse in form for the Eels to consider offering him an extension while Daniel Alvaro is unlikely to be re-signed.

Recruitment targets: Still have five spots to fill. Are in discussions about retaining Will Smith and close to signing Warriors hooker Nathaniel Roache to a development contract. Huge uncertainty surrounds Michael Jennings ’ place at the club because of a looming drug ban which leaves a big void. Will be in the market for a strike centre for 2022 including Brent Naden, Braidon Burns, Kotoni Staggs or Dylan Walker

Verdict: Have lost a lot of depth from the middle-to-bottom tier of their roster. The likes of Kane Evans Stefano Utoikamanu, David Gower, Peni Terepo, Jai Field, Andrew Davey and Brad Takairangi have moved on. Isaiah Papali’i is a welcome addition but still need to jag a few players .— MC

 

[Incorrect]

Souths have given Corey Allen permission to get out of his 2021 deal if he can get a long term deal somewhere,

Think we should be definitely taking a look at him, quality and provides good coverage across the backs

Agree. Actually think Souths looked better with him in their backline compared to when Latrine was stinking that up for them...

Agree and bizarrely have signed Tatau Moga..
Corey Allen was very impressive and deceptively quick. I guess if he signs with us he could have first crack at centre and provides insurance for Gutho at Fullback..

I’d take him. Great signing.

 

[hindy111]

Didn't Hindy111 say Cartwright and Nathaniel Roache would be good cheap signings

Big and strong. Pretty fast as well. Could be a perfect replacement for Mennings.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Roach? Looks like BA (or someone else) has finally put some importance on the 9. About time. Dosent look good for Schnider though. I reckon hes had a punch up with Jake Arthur.

Lol. Sivo in line for an upgrade?

The merkin should be challenging to make our starting side.

Aug 17 2020

Nathaniel Roache is on the hunt for a new NRL club after being told he won’t be offered a new contract at the Warriors.

Roache has played just 26 games since making his debut for the club in 2016.

He has had eight operations over that time and missed the entire 2018 campaign because of back surgery.
He needed a knee reconstruction last season, followed by an ankle operation and has yet to play a game this year.

He should be available for selection for this weekend’s game against the Bulldogs on Sunday, but Stuff understands his time at the club is coming to an end.

Nathaniel Roache if fit would push Rheed. But the guy is always injured. Reminds me of Kaysa.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

How does Nathaniel Roache go as a possible backup hooker? I've never seen him play so we definitely should probably sign him as I read the Warriors want him gone.

@hindy111. All the way back in August

if he’s on a development deal he’ll have plenty of time to get his knees and ankles right....

Schneider is no longer at the Eels, mate.

Yeah I read that. There was a suggestion he may be offered a CC Contract?

I was not aware of that.

I hope it's true - he's a quality player.

Dude we gave Bea Arthur yet another extension so nothing would surprise me.

And we are still in talks with Will Smith??? Surely it goes like this - "Hi Will here is your Pie and Coke, what do you mean you want fries as well???? "Ok thats fine enjoy your new career as the Jizz mop dude at the dollar peep show"

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He's only won 25 games ffs. That's fewer than Michael Oldfield!
