Rumours and Stuff

Yeah that’s what I’m wondering, normally you don’t get them until the end of the round but someone is just ensuring we spend an extra week on the bottom. It’s the same in the NRL website

NRL website live ladder has given bye points as soon as first game of round kicks off all year

Apparently we’ve signed Blake Wilson

Where are you hearing this? I’ve checked social media and I can’t find any reports of it.

I’m hearing Blake Wilson could be done by the end of the week. My source is my Dogs’ contact who is usually bang on.

Im dreading it tbh......Ive seen this story before.

I hope the Tigers are favourites it would suit Parramatta to a tee being underdogs for a ambush.

Im pretty happy about it as well.

We have been crap for 20 years, but things could always be worse. Thanks for the silver lining.

“What’s that Arthur? Set fire to Wests Ashfield? Burn them all?”

Parramatta tied up a significant loose end when they re-signed J’Mayne Hopgood this week but Bryce Cartwright and Clint Gutherson need to be retained.
In Gutherson’s case, rival clubs have shown an interest. Eels coach Jason Ryles wants to keep King Gutho though and there is every chance they do a deal once the season is over.
