Less than 2 years away, the Bears are set to become the NRL's 18th team with PNG joining in 2028. 
Which Eels (if any) will BA be chasing?

  • Even more reason to get Galvin and any good juniors signed to decent deals asap

    • Puts Galvin in the box seat if he wants an enormous payday and being the number 1 man. Not sure it would do his career much good but he'd earn overs for sure. 

      • The only good thing is the Bears don't come in until 28 and Galvin's contract finishes in 26.

        In saying that he will be hopefully with us in 2026 or earlier and tie him up for 4 years plus

        • The story said the Bears will be playing in to 2027 NRL competition?

          • Sorry I thought it was 28

      • Very much doubt Galvin wants to be coached by BA, but money does strange things.

    • Absolutely Jason.  Was just thinking players like Sam Tuivaiti who is getting done, Ryley Smith,  get Lachlan Galvin all long term.

      I'd even be looking to extend Iongi 

      We have the right person in charge and Ryles has shown his hand in giving younger guys a chance.  We are clearing the decks just in time

       

      • Couldn't agree more chief

      • Lol Tuivita and Smith were stuck in Jersey Flegg because of BA. They would not be going to player under him.

    • BA doesn't have a good reputation amongst the jrs, but totally agree we need to secure the clubs future quickly

So if Junior Paulo rumours are true and if Lane and Matto move on, Parramatta could have as much as $4mil to spend in 2026. NRL rules state they need to spend 90% of their cap so most of that $4mil will need to be spent. One issue being there is…

"Great write up NOS. Thank you.
I feel AFB is the key to the Sharks. If we don't limit his post contact metres then they'll run riot.
I'm tipping us for a close win purely because MM did the job for us last week."
