Eels make play for Storm centre

Parramatta is attempting to prise Jack Howarth out of Melbourne, just months after the Storm refused to release him as part of a proposed swap for Zac Lomax.

Howarth is contracted to Melbourne until the end of next year, but the club has permitted him to explore his options for 2027. His availability has piqued the interest of incoming franchises Perth and PNG, although the Eels appear to be his most likely destination.

      • That bench looks poor. No Brown is first part where you think "Do they know what they are on about?"

    • I think Will Penisini will make his way back in this side.

      Still need to find another starting middle also.

    • the team will be no where near that. 

      what's everyone's thoughts on this team.

      19. ?

      • I would put Samrani at 19 since he can cover Centre/Wing/Second-row.

        I think that 1-18 is pretty much spot on, give or take one or two spots if anything.

  • I don't rate Howarth at all. Another penisni. We can't have 2 slow atse centres. His a big body but his pretty injury prone, defence is poor, slow as fuck. 

    • Correct ...we need speed and agility. We already have bog average centres and if Samrani is our starting centre then we aren't going anywhere in the comp.

    • He's not slow,  last game he almost ran down Campbell 

      • Correct, he's just way too big. He's built like a back rower, needs to drop 5-10kg. Not sure what's going on a Melbourne

  • We've been linked to Howart non-stop for almost a year now. Someone at our club likes him, most likely Ryles. 

    If so, get him. This is the push for Ryles now, he needs his team.
