Rumours and Stuff

You're missing the big picture if you're just focusing on our club. The question isn't why the Eels have a weaker roster than some clubs. The question is why a handful of clubs always have a stronger one. Don't pretend we are worse than all the other clubs, or even most of them. We aren't. We're as good as most clubs. But why are a handful of others consistently so far ahead? That's not a question for Jim, it's a question for the NRL.
Nah it’s a question for Jim. That’s literally his job.

We already have a 30 man roster for a 17/19 man game day squad. How many backups does a club need? And where would they come from? All the other clubs need their backups.

Well, I meant NFL squads have 55-man players, generally.

If a player gets on Injured Reserve, the player can't play again that season, but their salary is "exempt" from that season, to allow a franchise to make moves to replace them on their team.

If Mitchel Moses went down injured in play one of a new season, and was out for the season, it would be good to have a way to find a way to work around that.

We wouldn't necessarily look to a back up - we could look to England, or implement a temporary transfer, for instance.

I'm not an expert.

I just want get something straight….Ryles went all out to sign the messiah of grubs in NAS but he’s offended or has standards when it comes to Xerri who can’t get a lookin at the dogs, and no doubt is desperate to get out, but signing him goes against Jason’s standards?

im going to say it Ryles isn’t first grade standard but will always be a great assistant, I wish we kept Barrett, because when baldy was punted we played some decent football, Ryles I have no doubt has the best intentions….just not the smartest
