Yes, but Father Sorin, the founder of the University of Notre Dame, was an Eels fan. And obviously the connection between Jack Gibson, Vince Lombardi and Dan Devine. The illuminati. The three horsemen. All that Yale thing.
Also the fact that there’s a Notre Dame in Fremantle, where the Eels’ number one fan used to live.

watching Knights v Raiders, we should target Simi Sasagi, he has re-signed for 2026 meaning come Nov 1 we can talk to him. Covering for Hudson Young, he will have limited opportunity

He’s very young. I’m sure he’ll be worth $650k one day, and it might be as soon as next year. But what if it doesn’t happen next year? What if he’s not worth $650k until 2028 (aged 23)? Is it worth overpaying him for two years just to get value out of him in the third/fourth?

Pau Pau, this is the first time I've agree with you in a decade on here. About time you made some sense 👏 😂😂

Are you sooking over TDS? Ryley Smith has outplayed him this year and TDS wants to be the main merkin at dummy half, not playing 40 minutes (at best) every week. A key side effect of signing someone to play long minutes is the expectation that they can devote a larger portion of their cap to him than a backup or limited minutes member of the top 17. Ryley Smith’s next upgrade could be $350k or more. How much do you think that leaves for another top 17 dummy half? Probably not $600k+
How much do you think Starling and Brailey will be on next year? Also Owen Pattie?

Maybe but he’s signed until end of 2027. I reckon Strange would have had a decent upgrade and would be on a lot more than Iongi
If we want to avoid Iongi testing the market in November next year, we will try to extend him before then.

Agreed Strange wouldn't be on peanuts (my guess is about $600k), but Moses would be on a hideous amount of money. What would Sanders be on? $300k-$400k? $500k at most? Do you reckon Moses is on less than $1.2M?
