Maybe that's why Kalyn Ponga needed help from his mate?

So we (officially) have 29 merkins in this year's top 30, and 25 in the 2024 squad.

 

[Gronk]

Well, I think we need this matter to go to LU mediation as @Poupou Escobar is clearly quite the recalcitrant thread curator.

Brendan Hands is not Top 30 or Dev as per NRL signings tracker.

2024 NRL Signings Tracker: Holmes joins Dragons

The Dragons have confirmed the signing of Valentine Holmes from 2025, while Bailey Simonsson is remaining at the Eels until the end of the 2027 season.

[Poupou Escobar]

I actually check that link every day to see if he’s been added to the top 30. I’m starting to think maybe he isn’t in the top 30 this year after all.

Offa, FFS Pou

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Still unofficial ffs!!!

 

[the phantom menace]

Gutherson > Fullback
Brown > Half

 

[Poupou Escobar]

This year at least

 

[Gronk]

Offa, FFS Pou

Sorry to be pedantic here, but we need to nip this in the bud quick otherwise chaos could ensue when shit evolves competing versions of equilibrium.

Offa = Ofahiki Ogden

Joffa = Joe Ofahengaue

So it can be reflected that way in the 2023 part of this thread then

 

[Gronk]

FFS !

Parramatta Eels announce signing of Joe Ofahengaue

The Parramatta Eels are pleased to announce Joe Ofahengaue will join the Club immediately in a mid-season transfer.

[Avenger]

On the shitter again.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Joffa played in the 2015 GF for the Broncos.

So we don't lose any GF experience with Jake now gone.

[Gronk]

So we (officially) have 29 merkins in this year's top 30, and 25 in the 2024 squad.

28 cos Hands isn’t on the NRL list. 27 cos Mitch Rein is MIA.

 

[Twizzle]

Smokin' Joe is 27 and in the prime of his life.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

28 cos Hands isn’t on the NRL list.

After Arthur’s comments yesterday I am convinced.
