Rumours and Stuff

So he didn’t play for us?? Like it lump it he is arguably the best player to pull on an Eels jersey the last 30 years.

I am guessing you aren't a fan of revisionist theory?

It was a list of our best players of the last 30 years, not a list of the nicest guys who have pulled on a jersey. Someone listed Mau who I thought was a good left field choice and we all know at he did right??? What he has been found guilty of is horrible but I still can’t not remember that 09 run and some of the amazing games he played for us.

Whighton looks like he might be prepared to take a pay cut to play centre at Souths. I wish we would make an offer.
He’d be perfect taking Waqa’s place.

Unlike the brave Roosters who have three $1m fullbacks, most clubs have one good fullback and make do when he goes down.

Down in Ricky’s Canberra, they have a wealth of fullback riches coming through. They boned Clock-Stand last year as you know, simply because of the speedy talent coming through. They still haven’t found their guy, but seem to be in a good position anyway.

Last week in NRL, Sebastian Kris was fullback (who was a 50 game centre before now) and Xavier Savage was dropped to NSW Cup. Did Savage play fullback ? No, he was bumped to wing becuase they have a kid called Chevy Stewart who was playing S G Ball at the start of the season and has been tearing new arseholes all year. Hence elevated from Ball to Flegg to Cup and it’s only April.

He can play for us if he gets a normal haircut.

But not Waqa Blake?

Souffs bitch and moan about everything but fair dinkum there salary cap is getting to the size of the chooks these days.

With Rusty and James Packer being financial backers of the club.

This is the oddest wording I’ve read in a post…
Anyway Savage wasn’t dropped, he’s returning from injury.

Not being racist… BUT I think culturally we’d have to pay him way more than Souths.
I would only want him for this year. Any longer unbalances the cap

It’s more of a sign that Canberra don’t have any good genuine grade fullbacks at the moment.

It’s only odd if ChatGPT declares it so.

Yea but the OG post started with our 5 best players from the last 30 years. Why would u then expect people to start naming players from the last 40 years?

IMO

Hayne
Hindmarsh
Gutherson
Radradra
Fui/Paulo/RCG

This may be a little controversial, and I rate pay very highly, but I’d have RCG above him. IMO RCG has been absolutely immense. The toughness and long minutes he brings is insane.

He's way exceeded expectations from when we bought him imo. If we manage to jag a GF in the next few years our front row will be the main reason.
