Parramatta need more forwards

In both finals the eels problems were defence and other teams out muscleing them in forwards. Who can they add on the market who can make 130 metres plus a game.

  • Well there's very strong mail around that Junior Paulo is very keen to return and that Canberra have a bit of salary cap pressure.

    Wouldn't surprise me at all if there is an announcement well before Christmas.

    • If this were true along with Evans it would make for some interesting selections in the forwards. Even more interesting if Meehan is signed for 2018

    • Meehan will not be there. Let's move on from him
    • I hope so & i feel BA can get Evans back on track
  • The eels strength is there back row of mau, moeroa, brown , Edwards & Scott if they could add a couple good front rowers they would have the best pack in the comp
  • Would defiantly love to see Junior back here at Parra in 2018, unfortunately Timmy Mannah just doesn't seem to cut the mustard anymore starting in the front row. Junior and Evans would both be good additions to the team. 

  • Brett,what's your thoughts on faingaa?I think a solid preseason and this kid can do some damage.
  • I don't know where all this talk about junior Paulo coming to the eels is coming from. Absolutely no mention of it on the Greenhouse forum or in any media I have heard. In fact the only thing I heard about Paulo was from him - and that he was looking at staying at the Raiders long term.
  • Parras props have been the biggest problem all year that simply wasn't addressed in signings for next year. Kane Evans is not a starting prop but at parra he is.


    Junior Paulo will be a good solution but a big quality starting prop is needed mannah, matagi and alvaro are too small against the better packs and evans is big enough but not good enough to play big minutes.
    • Alvaro is not a starting prop mate, have you seen him run the ball? He stops everytime before he gets to the line... You can't have that as a starting front rower.
