Rumours and Stuff

[Chipmunk]

Gee I'm glad we dont jump to any conclusions here.

Some unknown says Blaize wont take up his PO. And although none of us know what the PO was, it apparently means that Blaize wants to leave but there is f**k all to substantiate the fact that he is leaving.

Has anyone considered the fact that he may just be looking for a better deal cuz the PO was low balling him ?

He's Player Option would have to be Top 30 Minimim Wage. From what I've seen, he's not worth any more for 2025. Not sure we've low balled him.

Thank you for explaining the player transfer market

I was expanding on the implications of it for the clubs, including the big ones. If you didn't find it valuable you can disregard my Patreon.

at who's expense ?

Momo?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Why not???

We paid Dylan on potential for his whole career to date

Dylan Brown has been in our top 17 since he was 18. We punted Corey Norman to fit him in the team. How long until Talagi is in our top 17? He turns 19 this year.

if our club still isn't sure that he is going to make it in first grade - then we have even bigger problems than i thought.

It's more about how long until he is ready to play every week, and what he will be worth next year and for all the years of his next contract.

other clubs seem to be able to foresee this

once this changes to a 1/2/3/4 you can then think you were correct..

I'm already correct. The club made the finals four straight years including two top four finishes. That's better than most clubs in that time. We are currently one win out of sixth place. Someone needs to hide your belt and shoelaces.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

how much do you think he is worth at this stage of his career ?

just get it done ffs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

we should of locked up sanders

These merkins need to accept our offer.

It was absolutely a lowball, and good business by the club. If he had taken up the PO merkins would be celebrating right now, but the smart money would've been on the PO being worth too much.

Watch MON f#$k this up

Already has, should have locked him up before signing Lomax.....he will stay at Parra but for more $$$

He obviously thinks he's worth more. His manager will be receiving offers, so he'll know what he's worth. Some clubs will be willing to pay for potential and can give him a starting spot next year.

We did with Drown and Penisini, who are strong defenders. Talagi has a lot to work on. Currently he is blocked by Gutherson, Lomax, Penisini, Drown and Moses for 2025. How long does the little merkin want to wait? The Bulldogs can give him 20+ games next year.

Can you ask Twizzle to update the heading above the eels forum.. Add that we made the finals four straight years.

You know what I’d do if I was Parra. We want an x - factor player don’t we? Then be ruthless and offer Reece Walsh $1.5m a year. Give him a 5 year deal and blow the Broncos out of the water. He hasn’t signed yet.

Get rid of one our props, Lane and tell Gutherson that he won’t be fullback long term.

Genius!!!

You guys are spending the best part of $2M on Guffo & Lomax and the solution is to buy another fullback for $1.5M?

we should of locked up sanders

You guys were no hope of keeping Sanders as soon as you resigned Moses on a billion dollars after re-signing Brown.

Talagi on the other hand has a geriatric fullback with two bung knees in front of him.......until a week a go.

I've noticed you guys are still shit. What happened?

Allowing other clubs the opportunity to sign him is good business? Good business (assuming the club wants to keep him) would be to lock him in on a future Contract, not rely on a PO which according to you the club knew was lowballing him....delivering him to the negotiating table of other clubs.....might be good business at Kellyville.

 

[The Predictor]

From what he has shown so far - definitely nothing special, that’s for sure.

Agreed
