What a Spine !!!

2028

1. Gutho - Still here.
6. Blaize - after learning the tricks of the Panfers
7. Sanders - after being taught by an alltime great half
8. Stefano - after being smashed by Bellyache
9. Boods - The next GOAT
10. Ryda

Jnr,sivo,Lane,Matto, Rcg all have POs for 2026 if they can't get better money elsewhere. Imo they all stay unless we chip in.
Only Gutherson comes off contract

RCG isn't contracted for 2026. Lane only has a MO (both have to agree)

I would say we have money we just don't have any quality to sign for 2025..

We will sign shit players next year to fill in but get dragged over the coals by their managers to sign 2-3 year deals.

Apparently 2025 remains tight on cap room, there isn’t enough for elite signings. 2026 when players are off contract is the opportunity to invest in the team. Don’t get hopes up, too many players are on more than enough for longer than enough.

Room for perhaps a couple of mid level signings and junior upgrades is I believe the reality.

He must be pretty average. The Panthers, a struggling organisation

Yes we'll five eights don't grow on trees, that's his position at Penrith. Hello

 

[chiefy1]

Look at Sanders, is he going to a better situation??? You think he just walking in a takes a spot over strange or fogarty??? No chance.

I don't know what is going on but something has to change. We ae meant to be a development club, so far we are just developing for everyone else.

Fogharty isn't anything special lol. Sanders has more chance of surpassing Fogharty in 18 months than he has with moses

Buchanan from the dragons, kid is a gun! Not locked up yet. No short term pathway there at the moment. Is a centre, $200k-$300k easily gets a him.

Then target a young rookie fullback (who can play wing). Doesn't need to be a superstar junior. Someone whose pathway is blocked and wants an opportunity. Similar to the young Gutho we recruited.

Those 2 wouId probably only cost us $500-600k which we were offering Blaize.

This kid. I expect him to be a real star of the future if coached and mentored correctly.

I would also sign the number 4

 

[Avenger]

I think there will be some fallout at the Broncos and players will become available.

I would say Penrith are pretty good at identifying talent. Wouldn't you

Agreed,

 

[TheRam]

Had my jumper on all last Friday, lots of travel, my family too, no one said a thing!

#eelsforlife #blueandgold

Had my jumper on caving half a mile under ground over the weekend. Was attacked be cave rats that came out from freakin everywhere. Jeez can't even hide in a freakin cave now a days without being mocked and attacked by low life rodents ffs!

Just in time as well... Fogarty's contract ends at the end of 26...

Well that's good news. Matto could be retired. Sivo I don't think would be in more then 500k and is still worth 350k I feel so not a huge loss

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Especially when the players who don’t take up their PO’s leave, it’s pure genius!!

Is it bad if they take up the PO or bad if they don’t?

 

[Pazza]

Is it bad if they take up the PO or bad if they don’t?

Bad if it is offered

 

[Avenger]

Is it bad if they take up the PO or bad if they don’t?

It’s bad if it’s Lane on $600k. It’s shit if Blaize doesn’t take it on $150k.

 

[hineyrulz]

Is it bad if they take up the PO or bad if they don’t?

Of course it's good if they don't take up their options, it's just a shame the whole 30 man squad aren't on them. Imagine the cap space???
