That is a helluva high horse you are climbing - and in the rugby league world, that high horse is likely to get lame very quickly and have to be shot....
Mate the only reason I dragged that high horse out was the glasshouse analogy when old mate started bagging out our club because of a mt Druitt connection.

Tigers weren’t releasing Moses or Matterson early either

how that work out ?
Different board and CEO.
You know how you blokes are crying because your board and CEO are donkeys ? . . . . ours were, but not any more.
Funny you mention Moses and Matterson.
Sook, and sooker. And then if you add Galvin . . . . God help whoever drops the ball or doesn't do what them 3 wants.
PS: it feels strange talking to you on your team's forum rhyno . . . .

Well, we think that our HOF was a plant by the Tigers , like a sleeping agent out to stuff things up. Still don’t know how we appointed a life member of the Tigers and another useless pelican in Rogers and expected something different from what we saw for years from Leichhardt.

Sure you couldn’t use a GF winner back as a swap, he’s been to Harvard.

Merkin, it's almost Easter. Do you think you can get Miss Prissy to lay a bunch of chocolate eggs for us all?

Oh I’m sorry Jake, did I keep you waiting? Ordinarily I’m sitting at my computer with an elaborate system of alarms and reminders to let me know when I have been blessed with a missive from Jake the Snake and typically will prioritize a response to you over work, breathing or feeding my kids. Sorry mate.

what I think is………

I think you’re pretty upset.

Not really to be honest. My main emotion regarding this is disappointment about the way it has been done and the impact it will be having on a 19yo kid.

I am disappointed he is leaving and I wanted him to stay. I thought that the $5.5M offer was way overs but was happy for the club to spend overs to keep him particularly after the Dylan Brown thing.

With the benefit of hindsight and a liberal dose of copium, I think that a massive chunk of why I wanted him to stay is sentimental. He is “our” boy wonder (since Matt’s) that we developed and Benji took a ridiculous chance with throwing him in at 6 as an 18yo and it’s a feel good story to erase the memories of Mitchell Moses and Tedesco.

he is a LONG way from a finished article though and a long way from worth $1M. Last week he was putrid. I have also always worried that as he grows into his body, he will end up backrower or lock (he was 2RF in junior SoO and Aus schoolboys with Latu in halves).

As the copium is kicking in I am actually quite happy he is leaving. I was worried what his deal would have done to our cap with a lot of our kids like Tallin DaSilva needing upgrades and him leaving will obviously help in the next few years. I genuinely think Latu will be a better fit with Luai and I’m excited to see how that looks. Latu was always more highly regarded as a half coming through. Despite everything said here, I am also happy to see how the boys are pulling together. It’s something that has been missing in the past.

going forward I can’t see how he stays to see out his Contract but the way that he and his management have blown this up intentionally is because they want him out now because there is a club wanting to get him now. I don’t want him at the club but I don’t want this shithousery rewarded
From the length of that reply I think you are upset. I didn’t bother reading it lol. That’s ok you’ve been through an emotional roller coaster. 3 spoons and now Galvin leaving

You know what ? . . . some of you Parra merkins are allright.
Over a few beers, I'm sure we could have both a laugh and a cry over our respective clubs.
Cheers !

Is it worth looking back and searching for your reaction to Richo flying to England trying to offload players who had 2 years to run on their contracts. Rugby League is full of contradictions and the Tigers fans are currently leading the pack.

Galvin wants to leave, others didn’t and were still shopped .Dont get too upset , currently you can come into this forum and post your comments , it seems cathartic for you to be here , while your team has won a few games and we are struggling.

THE agent of Parramatta Eels forward Ryan Matterson has slammed the rumour that the back-rower could be heading for Super League.

Earlier in the week, Love Rugby League reported that Matterson’s was a name that had been circulated to Super League clubs as a potential option for 2026.

However, that certainly isn’t the case according to the 30-year-old’s agent.

“He is contracted to Parra and no one has had a word to us from any camp, including the Eels,” his manager Chris Orr told Wide World of Sports.
