  • Bigger loss then some would think, his defence is incredible

    Would rather lose Penisini

    • Dam guess Brian Kelly's coming

  • There's always another junior .... apparently.

  • "Expected to join....", so was Galvin and so is KK. Probably just click bait.

    • I hope so, he's a keeper. There's been a lot of talk about overpaying players. Here's one who has delivered good value (plus his trajectory is upwards from here) and presumably the bears can also see this. I'd like him to stay with us but he's got to do whatever is in his own best interests.

  • Here's a snippet from the telegraph:

    It is understood that Russell has agreed to a long-term deal to leave his junior club Parramatta at the end of next year to sign with the Bears.

    The Eels wanted to retain Russell – who has played 61 top grade games since making his debut for the Eels in 2021 – and made an offer to the 23-year-old. However they were gazumped by the Bears who identified Russell as a long-term player to join the club with the deal up to four years.

    The Eels remain locked in talks with the Titans regarding centre Brian Kelly moving before the start of the season.

  • Losing players not signing any

    • And the one that might sign is not that great and ageing.

  • Richard Penisini should be ready to take Russels place 

    • Yep agreed. Russell has come along way and is now a serviceable player, doesn't do a whole lot in attack but is a big body that plugs a whole. 

      Looking forward to see what Richie can do. Just hope he's not another project
