Rumours and Stuff

[Matty Bhoy]

I see Gus has signed 18 year old Eels junior Michael Gabrael. Apparently a centre.

 

[Glenneel]

I don't care if Moses leaves. I reckon we may need a new direction and I am happy to have a rebuild year in 2024 with hope in 2025 we are on the fringe of finals and by 2026 we have a fresh squad ready to challenge for 3-4 more years.
It's silly to expect to be up the top challenging every year. Knowing when to blow it up is important to long term success. Do it to late and you can end up taking years to rebuild. Be smart about it and it can be a short turnaround.

Storm have been challenging every year, why can't we? They rebuild around a strong spine and thats the way to do it.

 

[Glenneel]

Is he worth over 825k a season? I don't think so.

At fullback probably.

 

[Glenneel]

I think he'd be a quality running fullback. The question is around his work rate, playmaking and general decision making.

Lattrell has no running game but ticks every other box except perhaps defence, because he has no running game. Get him fit and he'd be explosive and by far the best fullback around.

 

[Glenneel]

No. Really who cares anyhows. It isn't till 2024.
Enjoy the 2023 season. Dogs should be top 6.

Dogs will improve but top 6, got doubts there. No half or fullback yet and doubt their forward pack is that good. So out of top 8 last year who is going to drop out? Faiders maybe.

 

[Noise]

The length of the rebuild (and the size of the premiership window) depends on the strength of the club. The Chooks only spent 2016 rebuilding and have been in a premiership window ever since. They are third in premiership betting right now while we aren’t even top five.

The chooks didn’t really ‘blow it up’ though did they? They made a few key changes.

This guy needs to move on, we’ve had him at his best, and the fact he hasn’t signed is ridiculous and disrespectful to the club and his mates…wtf is he waiting for, i believe it would be best for both parties if he moved on, in we concentrate on Sanders

We gave him permission to make a decision as late as May 2023. Why is it ridiculous and disrespectful that he hasnt signed in January?

That was mid 2022. He was playing Harrold Matts for us at the time.

He signed last year.

 

[84 Baby]

We should be, because he’s not worth anywhere near that money!!

I’ll rephrase - we’re not a million miles off their OFFER. It’s being reported in such a way to make the gap seem larger.
Also my own guess is we’re waiting to see how to best use 2023 cap space but some of it has probably been pencilled in for Moses

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I also think dyls signing have eased any concerns that moses might leave.

If dyl was also unsigned, it would be different

I always assumed one of them would leave, and I'm glad it wasn't Drown.

Because the fans have already pissed their beds!

They just swapped Cronk for Myth Piss.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Storm have been challenging every year, why can't we?

Same reason the Titans are never a legit contender. Some clubs are stronger and have natural advantages, while others have natural disadvantages. We are closer to the middle. Otherwise you might as well ask why every club can't challenge every year.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Lattrell has no running game

f**ken what?

 

[Avenger]

We gave him permission to make a decision as late as May 2023. Why is it ridiculous and disrespectful that he hasnt signed in January?

You’d think he’d make one before the season starts. Isn’t May the cut off date for his player option for season 2024 on his current contract?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The chooks didn’t really ‘blow it up’ though did they? They made a few key changes.

They moved on some merkins who would've helped them win more than six games that year. Jennings was one of them.

Yea. A few changes.

 

[Avenger]

If Moses was to leave there is no reason why Brown couldn’t move to 7 and Gutherson to 6 with the acquisition of a superstar fullback like Ponga or Papenhuyzen or even Trbojević.

 

[Gazzamatta]

I like change.
Moses long kicking, if he leaves, will necessitate a change of tactics.
His speed is something hard to replace as well.
Hes also our goal kicker.
It could be the makings of us in one sense.
That said hes such an improved player I hope he stays.
