Rumours and Stuff

The Eels have made no secret of their search for an outside back. More specifically a centre they can rely on.

They've been in talks with numerous talents and were linked with both Connor Tracey and teammate Kayal Iro for much of the back end of the 2023 season.

News is that they've signed Morgan Harper, but with the greatest of respects to the incoming centre, Tracey looks a far stronger option.

Tracey is in career best form and equally at home at either centre or on the wing.

Although the talks re Iro have not subsided, given the Eels are in "win now" mode, Tracey looks the smarter option right this minute.

Tracey walks into the Eels side, something he very obviously wants on a week to week basis.

I have no doubt the Eels will be in for his services come November 1st but they'd obviously much prefer him om board for the 2024 season.

The Sharks look to be holding out for a potential swap, so look for them to be asking for an Eels forward in return, at least at first.

Two months ago I thought Tracey to Parramatta was happening. I have no reason to believe it's not happening now.

Expect the Eels to be in the discussions, unless of course they believe Harper is their man. Again, I don't.

Zero Tackle

Gun...should've already been signed.
Big, strong, fast. Can pass as well and although primarily centre has also played wing and 2nd row..much better than what we have vying for the left centre spot.
Does he live too far away? Have we offered him? Did we lowball him? 🤷
He is too good and Cronulla want Paulo in return.

Wow...they have Toby rudolph, Royce hunt, Hamlin uele, Oregon Kaufusi, finucane as middles plus that tall lumberjack who played 10 or 15 games this year...
Not sure that swap would benefit us but I do think Paulo should be coming off the bench nxt yr.
We can give them makatoa, rodwell and moimoisea and Waqa

Throw in Brad Arthur and the Sharks can have the bald twins and a chance for premiership glory.

I was joking buddy. As if they wouldn’t take that? Especially with MON negotiating for us to pay $800k of his $950k contract to play the powerhouse that is Cronulla with their ready made Bunnings grandstand. That’s what you have to do when you are a second tier club.

That’s why we missed out on Farnworth and bought Morgan Harper.

And

Our success is based on winning regular games. Winning a comp, doesn’t matter.

It’s all very exciting.

That’s basically a summary of this weeks pile of horse shit brought to you by the one and only twisted one.

Hindmarsh would be so in agreeance with winning games and not a comp. He tanked it in the GF because he only considered it another game
