Rumours and Stuff

Momirovski and Brenko Lee say hi

Exceptions that prove the rule. Though Brenko Lee also played for Queensland the year he won a premiership.

Next you’ll argue that we should sack Mitchell Moses because Shane Perry proves you don’t need a good halfback to win premierships.

 

[Parra Pride]

Harper was pretty much on a plane to England. What do we go and do? Give him a f**king lifeline! What the hell are these morons at Parra smoking?

how is this signing even possible ? Just cannot believe this shit

Look mate as long as he tries hard he'll do us proud!

If the Eels are going to win their fifth premiership in 78 years it's going to need to be an exception.

Across all premiership squads you'll find a star at every position. It doesn't mean we need a star at every position. Until this last grand final, dopes were convinced you need a top line dummy half. Scott Kenny proved them wrong. Billy Walters nearly proved them wrong ffs. If we're going to have two quality centres in 2024 we better hope Russell has a huge off season, otherwise we'll be like the majority of NRL clubs, with only one good one.

Bulldogs won it with Adam Perry and Corey Hughes as their dummy halves.

Momirovski and Brenko Lee say hi

the sad part is those 2 blokes would waltz into our starting line up..

not only do we have the worse 2-5 in the competition but our current back ups aren't even fit to tie their shoe laces...

we've had the audacity to carry no more than 27 players into the season ( maybe 28 at some point ) and yet other clubs have been able to fill their squads without any issues.

the sooner we blast our R&R committee into the sun and leave the decisions solely with the coaching staff on the make up of the squad the better we are, at least when it goes pear shape we know who to blame.

Apparently Jamal Fogarty has re-signed with the Raiders until the end of 2025 with an option for 2026. Can’t see any upside to Ethan Sanders going there now.

The option can only be triggered if he plays a certain number of NRL games.

 

[Gronk]

Simmonson is our back up. That's the problem.
We need to sign a starter.

Maybe he is starring you in the face ?

Most clubs have an R&R committee.
As recently as 2019, Penrith's R&R committee comprised 10 people (incl. scouts, their CEO Brian Fletcher, Board Member Greg Alexander and others).

Maybe we need to add more people to ours.

Most clubs don’t have BA, MON and Ben Rogers on their R&R committee. That’s our main problem

So the problem as you see it is the ability of the people, not the fact it is a committee?

I’ve seen bigger knots in cotton than his arms. Maybe 2025 for Blaize.

Would need a huge off season. His defence is poor (although most kids at that age have the same issue).
Awesome with the ball in hand though, maybe a chance in '25

I don't know how old that pic is TBH.

Imagine being behind Fogs and counting the games he plays as it will impact you

Yes.

Or might get a look towards end 24.

I know it doesn't solve our start 23 problems, but maybe signing a merkin for $4/500 x 3 causes more problems than it solves ?

I know that most will say that the RR committee are like kindy kids at play lunch, but I'm going to assume that there is a plan in there and that BA, Brown, Hodgo, Baz etc do know a litte about footy. Or at least more than the merkins who are about to flame me.

what value do you think our CEO and Chairman have on the committee?

Well considering that Hodgo and Baz are not on the committee but the CEO and Chairman are I’d argue most of us know more than at least a few of them. At least we are Eels fans which is more than I can say for those two pelicans.
