Eels interested in Barnett

Parramatta are interested in Mitch Barnett. Now at 33 in 2027 and coming off ACL, good idea? Having Paulo and De Belin being 34 and 36 respectively is it good to have that much age? 


Ryles wants a Paulo replacement that can lead the forwards, Barnett is a year younger.31093138864?profile=RESIZE_710x

              • Yes but don't discount the impact he had on the club in setting standards, especially defensively.

                • That is what we brought De Belin in for as well.

                • Yes LB, if you dont think he was any good say so. We all know the history....what am I saying?....im saying there was a precedent.....I would not go after Mitch as a player unless he fell into our lap like Beau did....that 2017 year you referred he had lots of injuries but the difference he made on the field was hard to explain......

                  • Did I say he wasn't very good? He played 44 games in 3 seasons. Average of 14 per season. His age got him in the end.

            • Agree with you too poppa ...he'd bring big beau vibes:)

            • X2, Pops. Bang on.

              • How are you NOS good to see you posting again, we need you, one of the true gentleman of the site.

                You too Mace, a true lady, albeit one of two on here.....I don't think you would get two boys in the ring against you two tag teaming...LOL

                • Hey Pops,

                  How are you & how is Karen? Thank you, Pops!

                  Been well thanks, just flat out... Looking forward to the season kicking off!

                  You confident?

                  • Well Karen's still struggling a bit, I think she is hanging in there and we are going to Bali on Monday, so she going good enough to do that, had minor surgery today and got the all clear!

                    Yes I am looking forward to the kick off....confident yes but just a bit wary, losing Lomax, JAC breaking a thumb, Ilongi misdemeanour. I'm a bit of a control freak, I hate disruptions. lol

                    This competition has no weak teams, I think we can beat anyone on a given day, the consistency that will be required will be the real test.

                    Last season I was confident we could be a surprise and undo Melb, before the 4th round I had given up.....I still cannot figure out somethings' with Lomax wanting to leave i.e go by all means, but he jumped the gun wheras his co deserters waited and never asked for releases from their clubs. Why wasn't he happy and according to the rhetoric he offered himself back and we said NO!.....now I am convinced the way this is panned out that Lomax was the problem but Ryles handled Simmo doing something similar......one day the real truth may come out....its a pretty tight ship I reckon and the club seems very happy, the front office is firing, some are even coming around to MON.

                    Nos, I am glad you asked the question because I haven't been able to get it right yet, just hope we are as good as we look......great to have you back mate.

  • SMH is reporting that the Warriors are demanding a player swap as compensation for releasing Mitch Barnett early. 

    Wonder where that idea came from 🤔
