  • Heard sacked centre Nathan Davis has also signed with Blacktown
    • Blacktown is the run off for eels and Panthers cast offs, young De Luis was a promising junior but never seemed to learn how to use his frame a work horse type with no Xfactor still young

    • This season they had Jacob Loko, Vai Toutai, Cody Nelson, John Folau in their side. Folau quit at the end of the year and plays rugby union now, Loko quit altogether mid season to become an apprentice mechanic or something.
  • In other club news Raiders are going no where as fast as we are or faster lol. Their club news is always bleak.
  • Taupau is 29 next year

    would be careful of signing him on a big contract after that 

  • The one I find interesting is knights looking for 1 more quality player even after Klemmer. They have been in a huge spending spree for last few years.
  • To Baz and chief and all you guys who post articles and rumours, OUTSTANDING work and thanks.

  • Heres another rumour no one to Parra.

GM replied to Blue Eel's discussion Real Reason Parramatta Coach cut Zac Lomax Loose
"The fact he looked as if he'd checked out half way through the season makes ur statement moot....Lomax is a very confused human being, we have had enough of that over 40 years, good luck Zac....I'm sure Parra will thrive without you, no more the…"
