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 💭?

It's not so much Barnett, I've made it known that with De Belin and Paulo I feel our middles are too old. If De Belin or Paulo move on I'm more open to Barnett and would like him. I also have not had an issue with the cost, I think the average for Barnett of around $850k is fine.
I was happy we targeted Keaon, i was happy they chased Galvin and chased Da Silva. So not sure where you get the idea that i am against a lot of who we target. I am concerned with age and coming off an ACL for Barnett too.
In this case, I am not sure we are in the position to weaken our back depth. As if either Russell, JAC, Kelly, Simonsson or Penisini long term and Samrani is gone next off the rank is Tago. Under him nobody really stands out.
Depth is so important and I feel better with our forwards depth than our backs depth is all.
I'm with this after looking at what's around the nrl we are devoid of talent we don't have it to go with the best in the comp.If your not in for Barnett we may aswell think about moving Moses as it appears with the team as it is now we can go so far.
We need more if we can't get it the premiership drought is going well into 40 plus years.
Again I'm not completely against Barnett, if we move on De Belin, which seems likely, all good I'm all in. For Samrani? At this stage we need depth in the backs.
In terms of 1 target, i would go off based on who is realistically off-contract. The only middle who is off-contract worthwhile for the middles is Ata Mariota. I would offer around $600k for him to start.
But one who is a pipedream but would try and sus out is Moeaki Fotuaika at Gold Coast. He is off-contract next year, they are not going to well and in the midst of another rebuild. Tino taking up a lot of money. Reportedly only on $700k, i would go $800k for him being an Origin forward, experienced and only 27.
Geez you have made some early season assumptions, De Belin likely to go, Titans lose a game, they are not going so well.....what about the Eels LB, how are they going?
Lot of cooks pissing into this broth!......this deal with Barnett, have you ever heard parra in negotiations with anyone showing such a "hand"?
De Belin has an option for 2027, it would surprise me if we get Barnett that we keep JBD if he is just ok this year. I mean if you are giving an option in our favour you have some concerns somewhere in his games or with his age.
Though we show more promise than Titans. Now if we get slaughtered v Brisbane could change but Fotuaika has been there all his career could like a change for more money.
Yoh mentioned before Poppa
Mo would be a good get! ✌
I think Barnett will end up at Brisbane anyway, not too worried about it lol
Surprised to hear this, in our severe shortage of outside backs n even worse next year, Samrani is definitely one of our much more promising ones.
reckon this is a nutty move and even worse that it's out there in media. What happened to us keeping things quiet?
Exactly. I reckon it's all BS
