Rumours and Stuff

What about Matt Lodge? He has plenty of merkin.

I wouldn't be against it. Doubt he'll leave Roosters tho

I'm sure he just signed a $1.6m a season deal at the Chooks

 

[JokerEel]

So I think it's safe to say talk of Liam Martin's willingness to consider coming to Parra was a beat up - this article has him wanting to be a Panther for life, and about to sign a three year extension for 2024 onwards...

Liam Martin and Penrith are closing in on a new deal as talks with another two key Panthers ramp up this week.

Would have been nice to nab him but with him taking up more cap space at the Panfers will be interesting to see who they offload

They'll probably offload shit staines to keep him

Bargain bin.

Yeah I get that but it's funny we were being told that the board was heavily involved in recruitment and would have been putting a stop to players of questionable character. Yet we tried to sign Matt Lodge and now Scott.

 

[JokerEel]

Well lads I can tell you hear first we are making moves in our recruitment. Curtis Scott is set to join us next year and was in the sheds after the grand final on Sunday. Pene is also set to join us too which I don't mind always thought he was a good player at Storm. We're recruiting pretty well so far I dare say.

Niukore, Kaufusi, Papali'i, Opacic, Mahoney, Stone -> Hopgood, Pene, Murchie, Scott, Hodgson, Momosiea

Was Scott in The Eels NRLW sheds as he is dating the winger..

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Mate his a dick but it's something we need, he's probably one of the most talented centres in the game. We have too many nice guys in our team we need some mongrel. A one-year deal is what I'm hearing and what do we have to lose? If he plays shit hook him to reserve grade.

I think he's a bit more than a dick.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Still better than Waqa f**king Blake at 1/5th of the price.

I'm not knocking his ability.

Honestly, I don't give two f**ks about their character as long as they are going to play their hearts out every week. I don't care who is in the team when we lift the trophy as long as we lift it I don't care who's in the team.

Desperate. We have f**k all juniors ready to step up.

 

[Twizzle]

Wow that is embarrassing. Why the f would they not pay it like I'm sure every other club does.
Cmon..it was barely a penalty.
Just goes from bad to worse. I don't care what people say but this is poor leadership from the club.

sometimes a little research doesn't go astray

NRL swaps suspensions for fines​

The NRL yesterday announced the introduction of a fine system for minor offences with a warning that the salary cap auditor has the power to monitor pay slips to ensure those responsible, rather than their club, are made to foot the bill for any breaches of the rules. The dramatic changes to the match review committee process are expected to eradicate much of the controversy that enveloped a system which most agreed was unwieldy and in need to refinement.

He is on 250k a season? They want a swap for Peachy so not sure they will save much.

he's on 500k a season

There's more to life than footy. If he's done this stuff I don't want him near the joint.

[IFR33K]

If he comes back to Australia / Parra, we'll have a Penisini (or two) and a Pene...

All we need is a jay jay.

 

[SneakyEel]

Yeah and you merkins complain about having Nathan Brown on 600k a season

 

[IFR33K]

Can he serve a match or two through an NRL trial?

Maybe this is an option.
