Each week I get to sit down with @isaacissa_journalist and we discuss all the news and rumours around the game.
Some massive news for Parra fans on Ep1. Isaac dropped the massive news that his sources anticipate that the Eels are expected to win the race and sign Jonah Pezet.

Papali'i has shown he can be a decent 14. He can fill in at Hooker if desperate, can play Fullback, Wing and Five-Eighth in a pinch.
We're you living living under a rock for his finals performance this season against the Bulldogs?
or for his other phenomenal performances against good teams?
Joash has played let's be realistic... maybe 40 mins of good footy at 6 for us... 40 mins could even be a stretch. Fact is Joash's best position is 1. The fact you wouldn't want to sign a bloke like Pezet who's played brilliantly every time he's had to for a while now and who is actually a half... I'm sorry anyone that wants to keep Joash at 6 in favour of trying to sign Jonah Pezet is a blithering fool. Stop dreaming.
You are right, his best spot is 1. Joash has heart, he's a great character and showed he can be a capable back-up at 6. If Pezet when down you can put him in no worries.
From what I have seen of this kid, this could be a huge signing for us now, and then when Mitch is done
Wonder how we fit Papalii, Lorenzo, Twiddle, Hawkins and Volkman in the cup team. Perhaps train Twiddle at centre ?
I think we should do this regardless. Twiddle at FB is blocked due to Iongi anyway but we he can an excellent centre that can play 1 or 6 too, like Manu. If he has a good pre-season there I'm even open to Starting Twiddle at centre in first grade.
Twiddle has a lot of work to do on his defence.
I personally believe he wont ever be a first choice fullback in the NRL. I think he lacks a bit of acceleration, top speed and footwork. Plus there are many gun fullbacks in the NRL and more coming through the grades. Got players like Koula who could be gun fullbacks but play centre for their club. So yea, I think Twiddle needs to work on playing 5/8, centre and lock. Be a perfect utility.
From the sounds of this question it means Parra are finally getting depth and making the players decide. That's what the successful clubs do, buy as much talent as they can and let the cream rise. If they don't rise, discard and start again.
What we do with Lorenzo?
