It keeps lagging when I try putting the article up so I won't bother but coming from code sports.

The eels are offering Jordan samrani in a player swap for Mitch Barnett and also a three year 2.6 million dollar deal.Personally I think it's a bit to much.Lmk your thoughts 💭?

Samrani is gun, why we getting rid of him. Get rid of paulo and hopgppd all they do is lay down in the ruck and make so many errors.

  I want Samrani to stay, he's coming along nicely. If we were to import a new forward for 3 years, as good as he is, he'd eventually be blocking a host of young forwards coming thru. Lets reward our juniors

    Samrani is the one we can't let slip. We need to sacrifice and get rid of paulo, hopgood can stay as he shows plenty. Paulos time is up as an eel and we need to let tuivati, moretti, Teacum Brown, Ryda etc all play. Need to let go of simmo and put Richard in, we need youth in this team more than we need experience. Also papali needs a spot, i've said before we have Iongi who is like Hayne and Papalii who is like a Benny Barba. We are wasting youth on old heads like simmo, Paulo, hopgood.

    To some no such thing as blocking.

  I wouldn't say he is a gun but he is a decent player who can get better. Hell i even think we should look into him replacing Russell at Centre in 2027.
  
  You are right though, he is signed for 2027, we should keep him.

    I have a sneaky feeling tago might come to parra.
    - LB > Parrafan101 March 11, 2026 at 6:26pm
      
      I actually agree I feel he will come for nothing in return so they clear cap space.
      
      Yeah he's going through things it seems off the field but usually players sit out entirely, but he is playing Cup.
      
      Call me a conspiracy theorists and yeah I don't know nor should I know but chance there is more to this than letting on.

  So if we land him, next year we'll have Dad's Army in our forward pack. Jr, JDB, Walker and Barnett
  
  Lets hope he chooses Broncos over us. Don't want to lose Samrani and $860k for 3 years would basically mean we won't be shopping for any top line 5/8 or centre.

    JDB isn't signed
    
    Jnr isn't signed.
    
    Waker isn't signed
    
    We're not signing all three probably 1
    - LB > Cʜɪᴇғy Mclovin March 11, 2026 at 6:27pm
      
      JBD does have a deal but only if we agree.
      Paulo already in talks and Walker I believe will continue.
      
      So two of them might stay.
