"only really worry this season is our outside back yardage. Lomax was one of the best in that regard and people also don't remember that Brown gave us an easy 150m a game from 5/8 which will be hard to replace this year

"I'm guessing there's plenty out there, only one nrl ref. I'm sure you'll recognise him tomorrow night."
"Far out these players need better advice. Releasing a statement like this solves nothing, adds oxygen to the media flames, and creates a further wedge between Matto and the people who pay him.
I completely get why he's aggrieved, but in 24 hours…"

"Honestly, just release him. Pay out the last $400k and be done with him. Players now releasing their own Satements shows he isn't behind any club but himself. Cop the loss, he won't see first grade, he won't see a contract extension and he won't get…"

Cue the detractors! hahahaha
Signed for who?
FUKKING ORF SEEZUN MALADY now includes brain damage.
Good signing but price a bit high
apparently manly offered 300 and couldn't afford any more,
Better or worse than we currently have?
I would guess more upside than the a lot of the ones from this year..
Hindburt whinging kent with a wooden spoon up his arse
Except players you mentioning such as pangai jnr would cost 700k. Then add another 100 for fringe first grader. Shaun lane has had injury issues but is solid player with potential. 300 is reasonable and as stated elsewhere we chasing tapaow which along with Paulo are our 700k forwards.
But don't let truth get in the way of a good whinging agenda.
If you love wooden spoons midget stick to your excuse making mediocrity accepting ways.
Tad, I reckon a lot of players will once again return from representing international tier 2 countries better players as seen previously. It gives players an opportunity to see how much league means to the fans and especially the kids. Unfortunately with current system of player scouts and agents at young age and the money thrown at kids it will never be about junior players again as it to hard to keep the best young talent.
Another solution may be to reconnect with footy fans as a general and not eels fans.
As we have a large Polynesian group of players I think it would benefit them to go to the islands and connect with small communities during our bye week. No staying in flash resorts or the like but billeted out to families and watch locals kicking footy round for fun and give them perspective on life.
Aboriginal players could go to aboriginal communities and the rest to outback nsw to stay with families heavily involved in Bush footy as volunteers or playing for fun at end of hard work week.
Brad fitter was big on the blues side reconnecting with the community and it helped the side appreciate their opportunity. Maybe our side need a bit of a reality check and a lot are likely be leaving the world of professional footy soon on performances anyway.
