Rumours and Stuff

[Obscene Assassin]

He's in the SG Ball squad ffs. He hasn't been signed to play first grade. The only reason it was in the news is because it's Parra and his name is Lebron.

Also because he's massive. You can go through mole's articles about clubs signing young forwards and all of them will be about how big they are

Maybe 2 boats. The $200k haircut was on his current deal. He has turned town $400K a year more from the flippers.
Wonder if his manager really is happy he took that option

well if his manager isn’t happy about losing 3 or 4K, maybe he can take 3 weeks off in protest….

Oh wait….

Few extensions and a new signing according to Parra instagram.

Nice to have locked in Murchie.

Think he and Hopgood are good replacements for Niukore & Papali'i.

And hopefully they both work hard to overtake Matto's spot in the first month.

Interesting to see how this Murchie goes...we did pretty well with our last edge forward signing from the Warriors on a two year deal.

He was blocked for a game at the Raiders with both Wighton and Bateman still there, and Hudson Young coming through. As we've seen with the Warriors, their players could be anything in a different system.

Last time we had a swap of forwards with the warriors was Kane Evans & Papali'i.

Evans was paid probably double what Papali'i was on in 2021 and it wasnt even close in terms of performance.

I can't see Marata having a Kane Evans like Meltdown season.

But history proves a lot players struggle once they go to the Warriors. Marata just has to rip in like he did for us he was a great citizen for this club did every job that was asked of him.

Jake through 2024.

Hopgood will stroll into the Parra team.. Great player, just couldn’t sit behind Yeo forever.

Marata is probably being paid twice what Evans was though, reportedly $650k for 4 years for Marata. As Kerry Packer said, you only get one Alan Bond come along once in your lifetime! I think there is far too much expectations on him to live up to that sort of money, as decent a player he was for us.

Murchie would be on around the same or possibly even less than Papali'i.

He will now seeing as Matto has given up his spot on a platter.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Jake through 2024.

Come on Gazza he scored one of the great GF tries just behind Fui's in 2009.

 

[WestCoastEel!]

Murchie is a good pick up, and happy with the re-signings.

Looking forward to seeing Hopgood in an Eels jersey too. Will be our starting 13 now that Matto is having a holiday to start the season!

Great news. Russell, Arthur and Lane are good re-signings. Arthur and Russell still have plenty of improvement in them. As I said Murchie and Hopgood are going to be top signings for 2023 both young and hungry for first grade. I've watched a couple of warriors games and Murchie has a knack for running a really hard line at speed and scoring tries. Hopefully, we see plenty of those in 2023.

So essentially he lied to your face...?

No, the extra cash on the Dogs offer came in after i spoke with him and before he was announced as signing with them.

It all happened in hours.

Looks like he chose us over Dragons.
