I agree we have not much in the way of front rowers and I not convinced evans is going to be anything to get the wow factor happening next year. woulda liked to see twal get a go. can't be worse than mannah or O'Brien. we need a good prop for next year yeah

Exactly what I'm talking about.

Be careful mate, you start mentioning Twal like that, as Stagger will ask you to join the Tigers fan base as well

Club crisis
We lost Alex Twal. Lol

Keep your spine healthy and together. Forwards are plug and play. Pay the $$ and they can fit it quickly.

The Parramatta Eels would like to announce that Bureta Faraimo and Kelepi Tanginoa have been released from their contracts.

We wish them all the best in their future endeavours and careers.

Further to this...

Looks like Bureta is heading to the UK.

Who do you want out of our top 17 to replace? A hooker maybe? And another prop?

If meehan come good and king then I am not sure we need anything but time to gel.

I'd like a high quality middle forward/prop, and another hooking option.

I wasn't being cri critical of our recruiting btw, I know how hard it is to score the top players but just that there really has been zip said about Parra being active in the player market, which may be a good thing.

I reckon we're waiting for the salary cap to be announced and see if a few teams need to offload some decent players. We held out for a centre last year when they were being shuffled everywhere and we ended up with the best of the lot.

I am really hoping this is the case, and if so it could be a master stroke because there hasn't been much out there that suits what we need, it would be rather forced.

Here's hoping we get lucky like we did with Jennings in the case of a forward.

I don't know what the rules are for the six player 'rookie list' but at a guess I'd say it is for players turning 20 or younger. They will probably come from this lot:

Afualo
Naukafolau
Barnes
Dresler
Faingaa
Fonua
Kaufusi
Mahoney
Parry
Schneider
Taipari
Futoikamanu
Sutoikamanu

Edit: added Taipari and the other Utoikamanu
That rookie list is going to be tough choice by looks of it

Not sure if mentioned but the lurker has said that the raiders have cap problems trying to offload players.
Clay Priest was dangled in front of the Tigers and Eels recently but both said ‘no’.

Ricky Stuart would love to perform a cleanout to shake up his under-performing troops but the cap issues will prevent that.

Ricky will dust of the projector soon.
