2021 replacements

Posted by Sir Penny Wong on October 17, 2020 at 12:36pm

With 11 players leaving the Eels roster and perhaps the Jennings brothers.

What Amounts do you think they're on and who would you replace them with? I roughed it around 2million.

David Gower 200K ---------------> Keegan Hipgrave

Peni Terepo 150K ----------------> Lachlan Burr

Kane Evans 400K

Brad Takairangi 250K-------------> Hayne = cover the entire back line and I'm sure 11, 12, 250k is pigeon feed, worth a punt with a full medical. He would be on my bench 14 after several games in Reserves.

Jai Field 100K

Stefano Utiokamanu 100K --------------> Tom Amone

Andrew Davey 150K ----------------------> Hollis

Rhys Davies 100K

Jaeman Salmon 100K

Kyle Schneider ??

Watson Heleta??

Michael Jennings 400K

George Jennings 150K ----------------> Richie Kennar

We should go for Hipgrave. He has an aggressive side that with the right coaching could turn him into a gun player.

  There's your first mistake Bob - with the right coaching

  Hipgrave is just a bigger more aggressive version of stone, no thanks.

Mullet - I think there will be some quality players out there but they all come with baggage including long injuries, culture issues, high $$$ and wrond end of 25. Sharkies trying to offload Moylan, Dugan, Fifita, Woods, Broncos allegedly BIRD, Lodge . Would I touch any of those , Maybe BIRD but that is it.

We have a grteat forward pack. We need a very good front rower, centre, edge runner and bit of speed in outside backs. When dust settles and Penrith start to get squeezed by all their young guys wanting more money, we might find ourselves picking up a bargain or two.

  Like we did with Sivo. We just took him off their hands and they must be still fuming they let him go.Anyone of thos eplayers I would give a hit and miss, especially Bird. I would take Lodge though, he's aggressive and that's what we need. Him and Paulo and Matto and Brownie, good combo, someone to replace Evans

    Penrith told sivo he wasn't needed. They have heaps of great wingers coming through, doing Alot better than sivo as well.

  Dean Whare might be a good replacement for Jennings.

    I agree. He is known for his defence and thats what we need atm.

Kennar has resigned with Broncos I believe
