Rumours and Stuff

Not only must you play all the best teams, you gotta play teams after they have a bye. That’ll teach you smarty Eel merkins.

Nah if Papa and the hooker can sign and go all the way to the GF, then Moses can f**king stay and kick goals and do whatever else he's supposed to do. Wipe back his fringe etc.

Problem is...kicking goals

What’s the most games we have won in a row under Bea Arthur?? I’d doubt it would be more than 4 or 5. We just aren’t consistent enough to go on a massive run to make up for the poor start.

We’ve also never made it to week three of the finals with Arthur!!!

My mail is that we technically have 27 in our squad and are looking to bolster with a quality signing, not just anyone.
Hands and Mataele are not in top 30 officially but are in the 30 highest paid which makes it easier to get exemptions if needed.

Russel is still not 110% ready and club is being cautious around his return date.

Think we need a quality forward and back tbh.

The Sydney Roosters have denied any interest in Parramatta Eels halfback Mitchell Moses.
Moses had the opportunity to join the club four years ago – but rejected a big-money offer.
“We’re not interested,” said Roosters chairman Nick Politis.

“We’re more than happy with Sam Walker as our halfback.
“There has been absolutely no discussion around Mitchell Moses.”
Moses has been offered $5 million over four years at the Eels but is baulking at signing.
The Roosters have a suspicion the club is being used as a leverage to build on Moses’ $1.2 million-a-year offer from the Eels.
“That’s why it’s important we make a statement and confirm he is not part of our plans,” Politis said.

Gee these jurnos must have very short memories. Our offer to Moses has ranged from $1.1m (most likely) to $1.25m with now $1.2 mentioned above. Surely they can get together and come up with a unified offer can't they (regardless of actual offer which probably none know)?

It’s nothing to do with being a messiah. It’s just that he is good enough for a club at our level. It’s the low risk choice.

What to destroy all our junior base???

 

[Glenneel]

Losing to the defending premiers means the season is over? Get some balls merkin, and I don’t mean on your chin.

Take that to the pride thread!

Our juniors are doing good this year, as you’d expect from the increased PLC funding.

Well lads I'm hearing Patrick Herbert to Parra just got released from Titans 30 or so minutes ago

ticks a few boxes but a Tits hand me down doesn't exactly get me too hard

interesting to see if he is signed as a top 30

 

[Incorrect]

Apparently released on "compassionate grounds".... As in, he feels sorry for us and wants to see if there's anything he can do....

 

[TheCrowe]

Out a minimum of 6 more weeks with an ACL. Doesn't help us short term.

Interesting signing if it happens

Sam Loizou is Top 30. Do you really think he'd cost more than Patrick Herbert?

Really everytime I see him play he is just another Waqa that is error prone with dumb shit with probably less pace when he gets into open space.

you're talking logic, this is Parra

yeah i agree he's not exactly very exciting

 

[TheCrowe]

Not very big, not very fast, known for his brain explosions..... how does he improve our squad?
Rather give Cini a run.

 

[parra pete]

Sounds a bit like when the Eels signed Opacic...or Isaiah Papalit`i.....they were not very exciting at the time either....
