I wouldn't be mad about this one. Not many teams besides maybe the dragons that a desperate for a 6. Either he or mam is the way to go in 2027 as a quick fix. Burton would be okay but not sure he will be released early unless the dogs sign another quality centre.
Just remember you guys that want to recruit a O'Sullivan or the likes, when a player is not invested, you maybe better off without them, Lomax comes to mind, but in someways the one year deals don't look so stupid, if all of a sudden they like the place and change their minds...... or whatever!...... I think for any club to take someone on a one year deal needs to make sure they have a plan behind the process. e.g. JDB opens a 1 year spot for a middle forward better than him!
This is developing into am environment we haven't crossed before, The Dolphins. Perth. PNG and the last one whoever that is all change the shuffling of the deck chairs.
Tigers just want to free up cap space to sign their younger guys but also prob not that happy with Luai contributions for the price. Eels have money to use for a year so I don't see why not
Volkman won't be here next year. Lorenzo won't be ready or may never be who knows. Fletcher is the answer but is he ready - he is being tried in cup this week.
Luai only if they have earmarked Fletcher and are signing him to a long term deal , otherwise no. Parramatta have to be clear on what they want to achieve. Even if they see Fletcher as our next 7, Moses to 6.
Burton on huge dollars im not sure. Hasn’t set the world on fire at the dogs,.
Id make things clear and make Fletcher the man

Could also look at bringing Ethan Sanders home to take Moses spot eventually ? Raiders have Coby black waiting for that spot. Just a thought
"Thanks for posting the higlights reel.
Think I'll call him 'Ben'.
Has some real toe and can find the line. Seems like an upgrade on our depth players, hopefully a late bloomer"

Fuck yeah 100% will take him , in the halves with Moses hopefully he gets a few more X Panthers to come along with him.
We all know contracts me shit so lets hope he then backflips on the PNG move too
come on Footy Gods be kind to the EELS bring us Spencer, Luai ,Toó, Leota , Tago & J .Mclean in 2027 & beyond
Why would Penrith players join with him for 1 year? He ain't backflipping on PNG money too good.
Also J.McLean signed with Dogs.

Ezra Mam? I don't want that grub anywhere near the joint!
how did this come about?
whose unhappy Tiges or Luai?

All the new clubs entering is definitely creating a new dynamic with contracts and players moving around rapidly. Anyting can happen now
Would I be against it? For one year only I guess? But we need a 6 for the future.
Positives: he can help the likes of Lorenzo and Fletcher more than Pezet would have. Instead of a plug like Lezet for a year he would be a mentor too.
Negatives: only one year when we and Moses needs continuity.
