Rumours and Stuff

[Parrapat]

All young players start out as backups. Whether they stay backups or get more responsibility depends on a lot of factors including opportunities in the first team.

Pezet is at worst a depth player (higher than a backup); his long contract with the a Broncos proves that. And whatever we’re paying him this year is a lot more than Twidle deserves. Whatever we offered Twidle for next year has nothing to do with Pezet because he won’t be on our books.

Losing Drown and Lomax was a debacle. This is normal movement of a fringe player looking for opportunity.

No, this is about not being able to keep a junior with talent which we've been nurturing for years at the club for a miserly 80k which could have been easily made up from TPAs.

Even in terms of our cap Drown and Lomax cost us at least 2 million a year.

We have plenty of cap space.

It's about time you put together your list of our top 30 and your allocations on the cap.

No.

This is about not being able to keep a junior with talent which we've been nurturing for years for a miserly 80k which could have been easily made up from TPAs, let alone not even touching upon Matterson or Pezet for one year.

Even in terms of our cap Drown and Lomax cost us at least 2 million a year.

I'm so tired of the excuses and future plans of all the MON nuthuggers, trust the plan, Make Parra Great Again effete low t parra fans who will accept yet again another of our juniors snagged by a club on the up while we celebrate the worst for and against since rugby league began.

Is there some sort of testosterone leaching that explains the constant education we have to endure from in the know parra fat heads to explain to us why we had to let go a junior just so we could import an inferior in Brian Kelly?

I need someone to explain it to me.

Speaking of backups I do wonder who our halves backups will be next year Volkman isnt signed up again yet and we are assuming Lorenzo is playing first grade.. This weekend we have 2 RMC quality halves playing..

Joash is still on the books next year so I assume that he is the backup fullback again..

Fingers crossed we dont have RMC hookers playing in cup..

What's the backstory on Mikołaj Olędzki?

Late 20s. Has played representative football for England. Born in Poland - has played over 100 games for Leeds Rhinos. Good solid prop.

 

[jason taylor]

Api aint a winger

Bears will be in trouble if Meaney is their first choice fullback. I can see Twidle slotting in their or at six. (Wishart for me is a bench utility at best).

Brilliant

I'm already aboard the Perth Bears.

More Eels than Eels.

the happiest people in the game are Dragons fans because they know with Perth coming in next year, they won’t get the spoon.

the current team they’ve signed won’t win a game in 2027.

We're bleeding juniors while we pay overs for Scum one year offloads on their way to Broncos.

We've become an OnlyFans Club.

Spreadeagled waiting for the highest paying bidder to take our best.

Not trying to join in on that discussion, but how many stars have we signed in the past 10 years? Outside of Moses, Lomax and Sua, im struggling to name them. Even then Moses hadn't played origin at that point.

Addo Carr, Papali'i, Matterson, RCG, Bryce Cartwright, Blake Ferguson, Michael jennings, Corey Norman, Beau Scott, Kirisome Auva'a, Kieran Foran, ....all have higher status than Sua. That is without considering players like Joffa (played 2 x SoO), nathan Peats, Frank Pritchard, Tony Williams,

Who didnt Parra sign?

Heal, brother, we're both on a journey to our club's climax in the sun

 

[Parrapat]

How I feel hearing we've lost yet another young blood to another club


You may come up with all sort of cope

You may equilibriate

At the end of the day,

we're both cheapened by you gas lighting

​

Out of that list which player was wanted by their current club when they signed with the Eels..

Foran? Or did Manly know he was having issues..

You may ask yourself, what after Pezet and we lost Apa Twidle

Well?

Why don't we have a stranglehold on our juniors like Scum and Chooks have on ours?

In the morning I'll cringe and regret this

Yet it's the truth

Why won't Eels buy the best people to give us a premiership?

After, all, everyone loves this place

He may have more potential you gimp and your sock puppet. But we needed a replacement for Gutho and everyone apart from you could see Blaize wasn't a fullback...

I followed his career so I knew he was a 6. Then I was intrigued when he came into the SG Ball side at centre. He might not have been a fullback but he wasn’t going to get a run in our NRL side at 6. That’s why he left. It’s the same reason Isaiya Katoa left Penrith. It could even be why Twidle is leaving Parra.

Everyone apart from you can see he’s not a five-eighth.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Your arguments seem to be always wrong.

lol because dopes disagree with me

 

[Poupou Escobar]

When did Apa become a cult here, and who the f**k is League Scene ?

Someone trying to get clicks by stirring up Eels fans.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So Twidle is now a depth player at worse, not a backup, because the Bears signed him to a three year deal?

Maybe they think it’ll take that long to teach him how to tackle?
