What do we think will be the end game for Addo Carr?
I still can't believe the stuff Gus tweeted about him.

Junior is less likely to get offers from anyone else and therefore we would have been stuck with both of them for another year at least.I wonder why we let him go and not Junior. Junior is on bigger coin surely, if it's about clearing cap space.
Source??
Reg only contracted for next year whereas Junior is on bigger coin over the next two seasons. Most clubs would rather be able to renegotiate on a shorter deal rather than pick up part of the next two years on the bigger coin.I wonder why we let him go and not Junior.

Obviously it may be harder to move Paulo on....however Ryles may also see him as an important part of the style he is planning to play.....Paulo's skillset for a middle forward is very unique. Not many middles have it, and he is a genuine X factor when on form.I wonder why we let him go and not Junior. Junior is on bigger coin surely, if it's about clearing cap space.
Just because our club couldn’t see that Moretti was a better option than an absolute donkey like Mummamoasia doesn’t mean he wasn’t.![]()
With RCG leaving I reckon we have over a million to spend even with the signing of Iongi and the upgrade to Hopgood and the likely signing of Hawkins and Blake Wilson.Obviously it may be harder to move Paulo on....however Ryles may also see him as an important part of the style he is planning to play.....Paulo's skillset for a middle forward is very unique.

While RCG is very good (or was), his output can be replaced with cheaper players (obviously not at the same level, but similar).
Lorenzo Mulitalo is up there.Just because our club couldn’t see that Moretti was a better option than an absolute donkey like Mummamoasia doesn’t mean he wasn’t.
Oh that’s right “No matter what the club and Bea Arthur did the right thing”
Mummamiasoa is one the most embarrassing footballers to pull on an Eels jersey. No wonder why you loved him.
Is Wilson still likely with the Addo Carr drama?With RCG leaving I reckon we have over a million to spend even with the signing of Iongi and the upgrade to Hopgood and the likely signing of Hawkins and Blake Wilson.
10 players leaving with probably Sivo as the only other likely. I liked what I saw with Lane at prop.
I get your point.Is Wilson still likely with the Addo Carr drama?
A million doesn't seem like that much when a way past it Bird is still worth 400k a year. Especially when you have to spread it between 2-3 players.With RCG leaving I reckon we have over a million to spend even with the signing of Iongi and the upgrade to Hopgood and the likely signing of Hawkins and Blake Wilson.

Depends what your are looking for. As bad as we went this year, we have a lot of experience still. As opposed to the tigers who are desperate for experience (plus have to play overs as they are so shit).A million doesn't seem like that much when a way past it Bird is still worth 400k a year.

Ryles should just go and get Grant Anderson from the storm.Is Wilson still likely with the Addo Carr drama?
But there aren't any good props going at those prices, unless we take a 1 or 2 year rental on an older forward, or a gamble on a young forward.RCG going really lets us add some quality to the squad for next year.
Let's say we want to add 3 players. One to replace RCG (his spot) and 2 minimum contract players ($130k each).
With RCG money ($650k) and 2 spots already budgeted for on the minimum ($260k). That's $910k to spend.
Instead of having a $650k tired up in a middle and 2 cheapies. We could now afford to purchase:
- 1 player for $400k
- 2 players at $255k
or
- 1 player $500k
- 1 player $280k
- 1 player minimum $130k
That's a much better spread of cap expenditure. It's a decent amount of cash to pick up some quality.
Makes sense pushing RCG out.
Why do we need to sign a middle replacement for RCG?But there aren't any good props going at those prices, unless we take a 1 or 2 year rental on an older forward, or a gamble on a young forward.
Looking at the following list, a true RCG replacement will cost at least 600k, unless we manage to sign a player on under which wont happen until Ryles has proven himself to be a good coach.

NRL Highest Paid Players
A list of the highest paid rugby league players in the NRL. Only players with reported contract values are listed.www.zerotackle.com
Lorenzo wasn’t given a top 30 two year deal though.Lorenzo Mulitalo is up there.
People were suggesting that ?Moretti and Guymer are our big gains next year from a youth perspective
It's a shame Charlie missed out on 8 games there post his injury to get some more development into him.
Moretti has improved heaps and is showing up those that called YOU a moron for suggesting he was a better player then Momoisea.
