        • Unfortunately Macy, it seems those objectives are not in the Eels R&R DNA basing on experience and the players we have let go. An example is we are requesting Melbourne for Utoikamanu for Lomax when he was a born and breed Parra junior but was let go to Tigers. So, not holding my breath about 100% securing and keeping Petrus in the future.

  • If Williams is contracted until 2027, how can png show interest or even.put in an offer?  Any other club that negotiates this far out is in breach of the rules 

    • It's VLandys NRL Chiefy, the game where everything is made up and the points don't matter. 😁

    • This has dodgy player agent written all over it, anyone know who he's with? 

    • The rules aren't worth the paper they are written on. PNG could just ask someone in the media to post this, and see if they get any bites.

  • Coukd be a good win for everyone, eels have e him this and next year giving our young guns that bit of extra time to prepare to take over in 2028. I like the move. 

  • I want to Ryles plan as to why we have so much in the cap but why everything is junior based when we aren't even playing our most talented juniors the top or cup grade. Williams can go but if we are replacing him wit's a dud you'd have to question Ryles, MON and co because I can't see this group growing unless we sign some X factor to help Ryles team develop into a top tier side. The fruits are there with his coaching it's the right timing and patience it'll take. I still believe Ryles will win comp but I believe it won't happen until MON is gone.

  • PNG hype proves just how important investment into the Junior pathways needs to be. PNG will have a super team in their opening few years because of the pay on offer. They basically have double the salary cap due to the tax exemption. A lot of clubs will be relying on their juniors to fill in the gaps.

    • And that's why it's totally unfair to the rest of the rest of the teams in the NRL

      • Reckon Nathan Cleary will be next imo...hopefully they pay him a mega fortune, and use some of their $25M up?
