      • I don't think best wants to leave Newcastle but he's odd man out. All their youngsters need big upgrades and their star 7 is making 1.5 mill a season lol. Nothing left for Brandman 

        • I wouldn't say not so much there. Newcastle would try and give him what they can and if he wanted to stay he makes it work. But money seems good and reports are he wants to come to Sydney.

          • If they could offer him similar money he'd stay but he's not taking less to stay I think. Probably just needs a change of scenery to. Won't hurt him lol 

      • Sound logic Wiz, and even if Newy don't have the coin to keep Best we aren't going to be the only ones trying to sign him so I agree it'll be an overs on dollars, overs on contract length and (god forbid) possibly some options in his contract that favour the player.

      • Apparently his fiancée and her family are all Eels fans. But also wants to move to Sydney. But with new roads as they are, driving to Sydney from Newcastle is not as bad as it used to be.

        • Well his father in law is an ex Eels Reggie's great 😂 Think he was a hooker by memory , but I saw him play once and they'd stuck him on the wing right in front of us.  

          In an interview he said he grew up as a Newtown fan and then converted to Eels after they got punted. 

          • There is an aunt and uncle there too, I think they knew the best family and decided to throw their chips in with them, hence the name Uncle Jack and Aunt Dorothy having a fish n chip shop at Little Coogee where they are offering waterfront eating out......lot's of people are renowned for eating out, ask Wiz about eating out in Phuket and the Illawarra bikies.

             

  • We need upgrades in the back 5 and if he's one of them I'm all for it but make no mistake we need more.

    • You got to have a good back 5. The last 4 teams have that.

    • Spot on, the teams in contention all have multiple threats. It's too easy to shut down one star player.

So hiring Rush is that safety blanket for Ryles.…"
