  • Did anyone notice in the presser Ryles when going through the squad said maybe middle depending on someone going out. Not sure what he meant but could it be Paulo retiring? Could it be Tuivaiti back to Cup? I don't know but there is no need for Moale if Paulo is here with Hopgood.

    • I assume it's if Matterson's contract gets picked up for next year?

      • Not sure as he was saying he has all these positions locked up and said about the middles as in starting. Matto is not going to start under Ryles even if he comes back.

        You could be right but not sure. Seems middle is the way we are going. He also mentioned he knows who is fighting out for back-row so i am wondering if have signed an edge or that report was fabricated.

        • I reckon he's talking about Matto too.  , could be wrong , but we are waiting on him finalising his ESL deal.from what I've been told via Chinese whispers , Mattos wanting is contract paid 50% by us for 2026. So he won't lose a cent playing in the UK.  

          The Matto situation alone and the coin hes on should be enough to qualify grounds for sacking MON . Not to mention the other agreements he's locked us into we've had to deal with . 

           

           

          I'm still curious as to where our moneys being spent. It's the biggest question any Eels fan could possibly have going into 2026.  Half of our team are virtually rookies , and we are to beleive the caps even remotley close to accounted for ? 

    • Yes heard this too and I assume Matterson; I cannot see Paulo leaving before his contract has ended; but hey who knows. We need the experience and I have had a dig at Paulo for consistency but to me this year was one of his best years as he led the juniors mostly by himself. We need another exp type backrower for me.

      Hope AMS stays as he has time on his side and has height; saw big San wandering around last game and he willl only be better too albeit injury free

  • Dan Keir is the only one im kinda surprised with, is he going anywhere

    • Keir would have only been kept on a train and trial deal to provide leaderships for our rookies in cup. But I rather we get someone else for that who has actually played more NRL games.

  • Matterson listed as a part of Warrington's departing players. Well F*** me dead. We are stuck with his deal. Doesn't matter if we don't want him or not he has a contract on big money.
