Rumours and Stuff

[globalpanther]

Tend to agree. Lock would be his best possie I reckon with his ball skills and can then pop up either side if need be.

Sorry I meant R Matterson for this.

 

[84 Baby]

I’m not sure signing someone like Crichton unless he takes a substantial paycut to about $500k is warranted. Our middles of Paulo, RCG and Matterson is up there with the strongest in the comp. With Lane on one edge and players like Cartwright on the books I think we may be set. Plus that dude we bought from the Warriors and Hopgood probably could do a job for us on the other edge.

We need the coin to keep our centres long terms and our halves. Balance is where it’s at.

*Knights?

 

[SneakyEel]

Very happy we kept Matto but Crichton or RFM is a must-buy for us. Think either of them would be great for us

 

[Chipmunk]

We don't allow Cartwright on the field to play his natural game. I can't see us allowing Peachey to play his. Waste of time even considering buying him.

 

[T.S Quint]

A Crichton aint coming he's flying south apparently.

Trying his luck in the NBL for the Tasmania Jackjumpers?

Cartwright’s natural game has had him playing reserve grade for three different clubs.
Why would we want him to play his natural game?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

He isn't suited to edge. Doesn't have the skillset.

And wouId be carved up defensively…

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He isn't suited to edge. Doesn't have the skillset.

Especially in defence

I don't, but I also have very little idea why he is here. What we're asking him to do when he is on the field can ultimately be done better by someone on minimum wage.

Did any of you guys go the parramatta Golf day today.

Yep. I was the bloke in the polka dot bikini.

Yep. I was the bloke in the polka dot bikini.

Was it Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie and yellow?

Made from Ovaltine and ready to crunch?

Cartwright doesn't really come into first grade consideration unless we're decimated by injury - and even then only for a 10min bench cameo. So we're still one starting quality edge forward short for 2023.

How much is Cartwright on?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Cartwright?!?!

 

[Twizzle]

Four

You'd have to think more than minimum wage. Any player that you're not preferred to play whilst the game can still be decided isn't worth more than minimum wage however.

The August 1 deadline is looming. Here is who your club could sign on a mid-season deal

EELS

Available roster spots: 1

What they need: A lock

Who they could target: J’maine Hopgood

They’ve already signed him for 2023 and 2024 but with Ray Stone out for the season and Nathan Brown falling down the pecking order, the Eels should make a serious play to get Hopgood to the club immediately.

Hopgood has only played one NRL game for the Panthers this season and while he may not crack the Eels’ 17 right away, the sooner the club can get him into their system the better.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Don't we also have three development player spots available?

 

[eel01s]

I thought we had 2 spots left. Who took #29?
