2024 might see guys like Betham,Brazel,Morreti,Mataele all come into contention for NRL...... I doubt we will sign any forwards next year.
Backs seems to be where we are thin. We basically have nothing close to NRL level in NSW CUP. And it seems of the young guys coming theu they are atleast 2yrs away.
Hooker obviously is the other position we need to look at.

I know everyone here has been eagerly awaiting my take on Blore supposedly being shopped so who am I to disappoint?

Firstly, the "shopping" is being done by his management not the club but that said, its not clear to me why he is being held back in reggies. He is a good player, too good for NSW Cup, but by the same token not going to push his way into our starting pack either. He is a better player than Seyfarth who is currently on our bench (now that Joffa is gone ....sniff) so i genuinely dont know why he is held in reggies and Seyfarth is prefered (although Blore was injured last week).

He is also a natural edge forward but has bulked up a lot with some talk that Sheens wants him as a middle, which doesnt make sense to me other than the fact that he is never pushing past Bateman, Papali'i and Pole for a spot. We also have some gun back rowers coming through like Matamua and Chris Faagutu.

Like Joffa, its not a player I want to lose but less of a loss than Joffa. Blore is one of those guys trying to live up to "potential" and hasnt moved out of that phase yet for mine. Still living on one tackle against Nrown. Not the end of the world if he leaves but worried he will meet his potential somewhere else.
Read they are also shopping Jake Simpkin.

I don't even know what that means. He pleased not guilty wouldn't that be obvious on cctv?

His lawyer has said that they do not agree with the allegations of his touching her five times.
He does not say that Dylan didn't touch her at all. Chose his words very carefully. Must be noted that Brown has not yet entered a plea, so they might be trying to work something out with the prosecution before doing so.

Dylan Brown’s lawyer says CCTV does not support the allegation the Parramatta Eels star touched a woman’s breasts on five occasions at a Sydney eastern suburbs hotel.
Brown on Monday appeared in court for the first time after he was accused of touching a woman without her consent at the Golden Sheaf, in Double Bay, about 11.40pm Saturday.

NSW Police said officers arrested the 22-year-old and he was later taken to Waverley Police Station.

He was then charged with five counts of sexually touching another person without consent.

Brown was granted bail before he appeared at Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday.

Mr Brown was on Wednesday represented in court by solicitor David Newham and supported by Eels staff and his manager Gavin Orr.

Magistrate Theo Tsavdaridis agreed to adjourn the matter for three weeks.

“Mr Brown and I viewed the CCTV footage yesterday at the Bondi Police Station,” Mr Newham said outside court on Wednesday.

“It does not support the notion that on five separate occasions Mr Brown has approached this young woman and with both hands has touched both of her breasts. It does not support that at this point in time.”

The prosecution agreed to two variations of his bail, including having his reporting conditions reduced from three days a week to Monday only.

As well, his previous conditions stated he could not enter the Double Bay area. He had that amended so he was only precluded from licensed premises in Double Bay.

Mr Newham told the court he was hopeful of the matter being resolved when it returns to court later this month.

According to court documents, police allege Brown touched the woman’s breasts on five occasions from 11.19pm and 11.20pm on Saturday night.

Mr Brown, from Rose Bay, was not required to enter a plea on Wednesday.

Reading that and purely having a guess, his lawyer will argue it down to one charge and he will nod to it. Assuming there’s a case conferencing period like there is in Qld. He’ll cop a fine and move on.

If this turns out to be accurate, do you think we should tear up his contract?

Alex McKinnon on Ricky Stuart

Had no idea we tried to sign him back in 2013.

When I was 19 - just after I made my NRL debut at the Dragons - I had offers on the table from the Roosters, Knights and Eels where Ricky was the coach.

Parramatta’s $650,000 offer over two years was almost double the next best and while I ended up going to Newcastle, it piqued my interest in Ricky.
