Best way is to build a winning culture and keep those players around. Signing random stars doesn't do anything.
What on earth are you on about? Payne Haas is one of the most influential players by far. Had he signed with Eels, we'd be a near guarentee for top 4 come 2027. He makes any team competitive.
The bunnies don't have a spine, most of their team is often injured or on the way out. Just signing haas doesn't make you competitive. Have to build it all up

We did sign JDB 😝
Wouldn't surprise me if his mum is getting a transfer to Long Bay. Parra could have been in there had they pushed for her to transfer to Silverwater! Clearly his mates Latrell/Fifita and super coach Bennett was the draw card. Surely Rusty would have had that Gladiator talk as well.
Any young props we could get from Soufs, given they would be stretched for salary cap?
This proud club of ours is very good at getting the scraps and leftovers.
How the rabbits afford him I don't know. I would say there was massive TPA or deal done by Russel Crowe to support his family outside the cap as the 3 year deal from 2027 rules out R360.
He is friends with Fifita and obviously has links to Bennett but this would be about money as not like Souths are better than Broncos in chance to win premierships and busy Sydney life isn't as good as living in SE Qld. Especially as his younger brother already signed development deal with broncos and mum in Qld jail it is very strange deal. I wouldn't be surprised if he uses the cooling off period
"Great read mate and thanks for posting. It is my understanding too, that Lomax agreed to join the Storm first. He only came back to the Eels as an afterthought, obviously based on legal advice. I've had similar discussions with lawyers who believe…"

"Clearly Storm ain't exchanging anyone.
Parra should just suck it up, retire Matto on concussion basis, and use that money to welcome back Lomax, on an iron clad contract that makes sure he sees out his remaining 3 years.
Throw him in the backrow and…"

Voice of reason
Here we go Eli and his false promises to the eels fan base
Adding Payne haas to a bunch of old injured Rabbitohs doesn't do anything 🤣
