You could throw in Marwene Hiroti. Very good centre from the Sharks, already better than what we have. Apparently has not been offered a contract as the Sharks are struggling with their cap, plus he has Iro and Ramien in front of him. He wouldn't break the bank and is an upgrade.
Rumour has it BA Is going to Titians after des gets sacked or leaves. I would think next year Lomax goes to centre. His to big and slow for the wing nowadays. Means we buy a winger or a back utility like a Campbell or Brimson. I have no idea who we are going to buy. Looking more likely Tino is a chance of coming. Fingers and toes crossed. Titans have a lot of good players that are free to go that would look good in an eels jersey. I don't think we will hear anything to the end of the year though.
There is a reason Khan-Pereira is not being used by GC. Defensively he is a liability and does nothing out the back for you. He is a wonderful try scorer and got great speed but that is it. Very similar to Tyrell Sloan, though i would argue Sloan has more going for him as he can play Fullback and has more X-Factor about him with some brilliance. AKP is Alex Johnston pretty much, though Johnston is better in defence.
It would seem as though Simmo has made a call here and Ryles would not stand in his way; and tbh he would be on similar coin to be on the beach. Good luck to him and he has been a good player for us, but we do not know what is occurring behind the scenes.
Well Ryles did say, he wants Parramatta people. If you are not wanting to be here why convince you. Who knows, maybe Ryles said he could not guarentee Simonsson a spot over Russell and that's how it went. We don't know.
"Why all of a sudden do we fear NQ so much considering our performances over the last few weeks. Yes NQ are unpredictable but see them last week? They didn't care.
If they win i doubt it is comfortably. I will say if i am wrong though."
"x 2 nos , par from injuries imo , simmo was about to hit peak form , one could also see his efforts from throwing gym weights to bolster his role and commitments. Just got to hope samrani takes the opportunity with both hands , …"
"Our outside backs that won SG ball in 2023 were Richie, Talagi & Alamadine. So we had good ones coming through. RIchie is good. Talagi we all know. Alamadine did not have a pre-season and he started the season very slowly/poorly."

Meh why not.
Hiroti has been carving nsw cup this year. When he has played nrl his attack has been fine but defensively poor.
Sorry Bailey your request has been denied, also, Bailey is a girls name
May be when he was born they throught he was a girl but by the time they realised he was a boy it was to late to chance he name

You have to love a blog with new team lists.
