Wow! Just WOW! Plus the other stuff. Makes one wonder why Penrith and The Chooks released him without a whimper.

Another signing I didn’t agree with from the start based on him as a person and his history. Massive dickhead.

Anyone know if Rheed was present at the fan day? Im interested to know how he was accepted by the fans. His pending departure appears to have upset Eels fans the most. Personally Im over it and looking forward to see who puts their hand up in 2022 as its unlikely Rheed will be available for every game.

Be careful guys. A civil case does not mean that the allegations have been proven in a criminal court.

She sought damages for personal injuries including post-traumatic stress disorder and during the course of the civil proceedings made allegations that he raped her four times between October 2014 and early 2016.

NSW District Court Judge David Wilson on Tuesday found in favour of Ms Wilden and ordered Mr Jennings pay her nearly $500,000 in damages.

Mr Jennings denied sexually assaulting Ms Wilden and has never been charged by police.

Finished work today so beering on the couch (no pub this close to Covid according to wife) and watching 77 GF Parra V StGeorge.
Now I’m not great with these old games but my take is… we over glorify it. The thuggery and cheap shot game I’m watching isn’t something to be proud of. In fact, it’s unnecessarily brutal.

Yep the brutality would be unacceptable now. But the game had an element of randomness that was better than we have now.

It's what we think Kafusi is. Stefano will play origin. I'm confident of that prediction. Where will Kafusi end up as a player? What would of it taken to keep him? Sharks obviously feel 400k for him is a good buy.

Sure I am concerned we paid over for ageing props. Good N.Brown only got himself a 2yr extension otherwise we would be in a huge hole in 2024.
Props once start to drop off can become very average very fast. Jnr has 5 more seasons. That's a long time for him to stay elite.

I reckon of those 5 years he probably has another 2 at an "elite" level.

I think the last 3 years will be ok but his leadership and experience invaluable for the younger crop coming through.

I don't think Parra are under any illusion that Junior will be elite throughout all the 5 years. I also think that this would be reflected in his contract till then.

These dudes are paid based on anticipated value. Do you really think NRL clubs are the only ones unaware that players hit an age where they start becoming less effective?

It can also be argued they become more experienced? So you're telling me Cam Smiths last contract was less than his previous couple of years? Its a myth Poo. Ever worked with Unions buddy? Show me proof not "Poo Theory".

No chance he has shown more. Stefano is the superior player even though I thought Kaufusi was the better option.

What’s Stefano done?? Really?? Made a few good runs and a few highlight reel tries.

The last game of the season against the Riff with a weakened side Kaufusi was the best player on the field that first half. He was immense and totally outplayed the GF winning pack he also tore the Broncos a new one up in Darwin and was nearly the man of the match. As I said Stefano has the higher ceiling but Kaufusi has shown more IMO.

Interesting to hear Parra fans perspectives on Kafusi. Does have age on his side as most props don’t reach their peak till at least mid 20’s. I guess the fact we have Fifita playing his final year @850k makes Kafusi seem like a reasonable buy. Only time will tell I guess.
