Rumours and Stuff

[King-Gutho94]

Problem is with the bears coming in, this crop of free agents are going to get over paid.

Gotta get the signings right

Wouldn't surprise me if Henry has already agreed to Perth.

Just waiting for November 1 to hit to make it official.

Ben Gardnier the coach whose taking over after Mal was a Penrith assistant.

I think Will Kennedy will end up in Perth as well.

It's ok to say you don't watch Cronulla play...

@350 K a season he would be a pretty handy pickup as a replacement for Lomax on a wing. Can ruck it out of his own red zone

Lomax has been pretty shit in defence this season as well btw some of the tries he let in was horrible.

Bro are you sure you aren’t getting Will Kennedy mixed up with Ronaldo Mulitalo???

Kennedy is about 80kgs ringing wet, he’s a handy little fullback but he’s not big, he’s not quick, he’s not even that great under the high ball…. He would get f**king owned on the wing

Once Lomax release is official in a couple of weeks.

Does he get included in a long list of disasters when it comes to Parra signing rep players.

It feels like whenever we do sign a rep players at there supposed peak it never ends well.

Kieran Foran was one where we didnt know his issues at the time.

Lomax was a NSW and Australian winger last year and within 12 months will be out the door.

It just screams classic Parra.

Foran we knew we were getting a troubled individual but he was arguably the best young half in the game at the time…. We managed to rebound out of it okay.

Lomax is very disappointing if it eventuates but I still maintain we got pretty good service from him this year for what we signed him for. We are already short on quality OB’s, it’s going to leave us in a hole.

 

[Twizzle]

I have zero idea.

You tell me.

already did

 

[T-Boon]

I don't see Lomax leaving - he will be with us next season, and he was pretty good this year. Too many drops but hard running is great and good offloader.

 

[eels_fan]

All signs points to Lomax already having signed a contract with 360. And a NDA, hence no word from him camp.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Foran we knew we were getting a troubled individual but he was arguably the best young half in the game at the time…. We managed to rebound out of it okay.

So did he. Played 162 NRL games after leaving Parra.

He isn't 80kg wringing wet he is quick btw and evasive. Would be a cheap option for the wing as fullback isn't his position..
If Lomax goes our only option is Simmonson who is crapola

Or do we go and stick Joash on the wing....

 

[hineyrulz]

Superman>>>>>>> Kennedy on the wing.

 

[eels_fan]

A better option than Kennedy that’s for sure…

 

[Soren Lorenson]

A better option than Kennedy that’s for sure…

Old mate is out on a long limb and doesn’t know how to admit he’s wrong.

Joash is 5’9 would get out jumped on every kick and would get absolutely murdered trying to hit the ball up.

 

[Avenger]

I'd suggest it could have been you making the adjustments but then I remembered you are Slavic.

At least you realise that I can’t help it, mate. We are what we are.

 

[Avenger]

 

[Pazza]

Its a sellers market atm

Some average players are going to get some great contracts

 

[T-Boon]

I've been watching some volleyball (there is some type of National pro comp). It is a great sport. The highlights of the libero position in particular are "sick".
Parra Eels should have a volleyball team in the national comp - similar to how Barcelona FC have a basketball team and other sports.

 

[Twizzle]

I like Garrick and he's in his prime at 28

 

[Soren Lorenson]

I like Garrick and he's in his prime at 28

I wouldn’t be against it, but I assume his availability is for 2027. And for what it’s worth, if Manly are only offering 2 years and not 3 from 27 on, then I would say that’s fair enough.

 

[Stevie]

He’s a f**king shit centre. He’s a good winger.

Give it up champion you are clutching at straws.

You said you rate him as a player but then say fullback isn’t his position despite never having seen him play another position?

It’s not the 80s mate anymore he would get destroyed on the wing.

Let’s tag some Sharkies fans in here and see their opinion.
