Parramatta have reportedly dropped their interest in signing Sydney Five-Eighth Sandon Smith. The decision is based on the club placing their attention to other options, mainly in house optoins including Joash Papali'i.
Now i do believe they are looking at Papali'i and even in future Talataina, although i also wonder if there is a target that Ryles is looking at that he knows or might know is available that is not known as available if that makes sense. I don't know, the club is very good at keeping information in terms of recruitment sown shut. Anasta did let slip slightly of a target Ryles could be interested in but stopped before he said the actual name. I would put money, not a lot, on us still signing a 6.

Wise choice
From day 1 it was dead in the water. Anasta, who knows Ryles very well, mentioned both Parra and Smith weren't overly keen on one another and Smith was only offered a 1 year deal. He was seen as a stop gap anyway.
I have said it in past but what i was referring to with outside option i mean like Jayden Campbell where rumblings are happening and he could be available and that is who we want for example. Not saying that is exactly the case just example.
Parramatta don't lose interest in players, player's lose interest in Parramatta . The eels clearly knee they had zero chance and don't want to be seen as failing to recruit yet another player , players only come to Parramatta as a last resort or if we are the only option.
Give me Katoa
That would be nice.
That be great signing never will happen but if he ever leaves the Dolphins he go to the dogs
Definitely won't be dogs Galvin and woods got halves covered.
They got 4 different halves options ahah
I think Hawkins could be our in house option with Papali'i being our #14 when walker finishes.
I think you are probably right. With Moses spending more time in the stands than he is on the field, we need a 5/8 that can slot into the halfback role as needed. He has shown that he is capable of that, and with a few more seasons he could develop into a very handy asset for Parra. With some exciting prospects in the lower grades, it seems the club is not willing to offer a long term contract to an outside option.
