Metcalf Dragons bound.

Bulldogs have pulled out of the race for Metcalf and his asking price is around 1 million dollars. Dragons most likely spot but to get him immediately I wonder if this means they will allow Sua to join us early to free up cap space to get Metcalf immediately. Just seems logical

                    • Well Lemon Haze is not a beer but it is my longtime companion and makes huge clouds

                       

                    • Mitchy, do centre right even exist anymore? I thought they all exited to the far stage, where it's corona with lime because if it looks like a dark ale or even worse a stout they're all like "not in my neighbourhood". 

                      Next level puns are the best

                    • Lemon haze might be cloudy but it dissipates when you prod it. Just like scapegoating arguments. 

                    • The cloud dissipates but the stinky nuggets remain and flourish

                       

                    • Centre right took a jump to the left or to the right but there is no middle in this era... like being in the middle in germany 38.

                       

      • Well Anderson is Head of recruitment. MON is GM. Two different roles.

        So shouldn't you be asking who do we prefer out of Anderson and Rogers?

        • Peter O'Sullivan for me I'm looking at the talent he's managed in conjunction with others to get to Newcastle and the Dolphins at his most recent stops would just about do it for me.

          I mean St George tried to get him before he took the Newcastle job.

          • Totally agree, hes the 1 we should target 

          • A bit of a sliding doors moment, Coryn.

            In 2024 the Eels roster was clearly at the end of it's cycle, and needing to adapt - especially with aging forwards.

            In 2024, Peter O'Sullivan leaves the Dolphins after building a very talented roster. The Knights & Dragons fight it out for his signature. Both Knights & Dragons weren’t in good positions at the time.

            O'Sullivan feels like the exact piece the Eels are missing. 

            Obviously, he doesnt always get it right, no one can. But on top Brown & re-signing Ponga, Trey Mooney was an brilliant pick up. He has made a huge impact.

            Mooney was offered good $$, but that is the key, identifying him as a target worth spending extra on.

            Eels fans are obsessed with 'overs', but we really have no idea what 'overs' are, we see 80mins a week of these players, and even then we don't understand all the intricacies.

            I know through a friend who was in the NZ team with Dylan Brown, that O'Sullivan did a huge amount of due diligence before offering Brown that deal. There was a lot more to it than on-field performances.

            It's that ability to identify the talent, the personalities, and where $$ can be extended that O'Sullivan is the best at, and he's proved it again.

            The Knights went for a circuit breaker, and wen’t all in, good on them.
