Eels in hunt for Wallaby Fullback

The Eels have been strongly linked to Wallaby fullback Max Jorgensen  If successful Max would play fullback and Gutho would move to the centres

A long time Eels official stated Jorgensen could be as succcessful as Ken Thornett who the eels also pinched from rugby

 Here's hoping

        • Penrith found Sivo. We poached him from them.

  • Got to admire the poor Roosters, their current 1 to 5 backline would cost 50% of the salary cap at any other club. Then someone that was "obviously" playing for unders, leaves for a short rugby stint.. That will free up millions and he will come back and play for peanuts again, they are so lucky.

     

    • Apparently they blew the Knights out of the water with the package the could offer Dom Young.

      • That can't be true as it is regularly reported that players sign for less to play for the roosters, that is until their last contracted year when media report the inflated value which they will save to buy them a new superstar.

  • Wake me up when we finally sign someone of note will ya?

    • Enjoy the nap Frank. "We're a development club" =  we're not buying anyone unless you find them in the bargain bin
