Rumours and Stuff

[Noise]

De Bellend became off contract and the Drags re signed him. That's their own stupid fault.

I thought the JDB contract was on the condition he was found not guilty and could play.

I think Sivo's decision making in defense at centre would be diabolical

I think he is a winger .... whether he is a good one is still unclear .... he seems like a 10m barge over specialist .... the rest, meh

I would prefer to start with Dunster. See if he provides much. Let Sivo work on his defense for a few rnds.
Sivo problem also is he often runs it back soft without effort. On the basis of 10 runs he puts in 1 or 2 times. He can be damaging here also but rarely is. Seems to save that hard run when 10mtrs out.

He will always be slow and I doubt his defense or high ball catching abilities will improve a whole lot. But

Haze will give you speed, seems a better support player and focussed so I think defense wise should be better. His power game won't be like Sivo.
Website says 90kgs for Haze. If still the same he is perhaps a little light. But those things can be 2 yrs old.

Dunster looks bigger than 90kg but still under 100kg.

Yeah he’s definitely added some bulk in the off season from the pics I saw. I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw in his first outing last year. Still very raw but some upside.

Obviously no bastard considered there might be a third option. I'm pretty sure they are paying him still.

Should we guess the exact weight?

I'm going 94kgs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Seems reasonable to me. Perhaps we should have a poll?

He’d put on some weight if he ate all that.

Big blow for Cartwright. By the he is back it means he starts in Nsw cup now. He will need 4 -6 games before considered. Half the season done.

Well there is 4 weeks to the season proper, he could be ok by then, another 4 weeks to get up to speed fitness wise? Maybe misses 4-5 rounds tops?

New Parramatta signing Bryce Cartwright has suffered a suspected broken jaw just weeks out from the start of the season.
Cartwright joined the Eels on a cut-price deal over the off-season after being let go by the Gold Coast Titans.

He struggled for form with the Titans and was engulfed in controversy when he refused to have a flu shot as part of the NRL’s return to action from the COVID-19 pandemic.He headed to the Eels to get his career back on track and by all reports had been training well.
But on Saturday it emerged that Cartwright was hit by a stray boot in a field session and was subsequently taken to hospital.

“It’s shocking luck for the bloke but the one good thing is that it happened in the pre-season and he shouldn’t miss too many weeks of the competition,” Eels coach Brad Arthur told WWOS.


“He had been looking good and we were actually planning to play him in our first trial on Thursday to give him a hit out.

“They are still doing tests to determine the full extent of the damage.”

If he’s been going as good as the reports suggests, I’m sure he’ll be right for selections in rounds 2-3. Half the season is a far stretch unless there’s some complications of some sort.

with the lenient sentences the NRL gives out, you wouldnt get banned for a year for stabbing Abdo on live tv. I’m calling BS.

Broken jaws tend to affect one's confidence. Refer RCG. Added to that is he's never been a player who relishes the impact. Fingers crossed.
