Seems like every week there are good quality players coming onto the market or that are available that would add something to our team and roster but we aren't seeming to be as active in the player market as we were earlier this year. EG Keon. Barnett
Has anyone heard anything or have any news on any potential signings for 2027 /2028 we may look at? I still believe there is the basis of a very good football side at the Eels but we defintely need 1 or 2 additions of quality players at the absolute least

Titan, maybe you're right. Can you list clubs by whether that club has a recruitment committee or a single key member that handles recruitment? Given your assertion that strong clubs have a single key member, you must have that evidence to hand, and that would be interesting to read and see those correlations you claim exist.
Thanks, we await your evidence. I agree with you it's good to provide evidence for claims
I am a great believer in beneficial dictatorship Titan, only trouble is how many people are going to agree to it?
I know! , we will form a commitee, me being the benficial dictator will hand pick the commitee and I will be the chairman.....happy now and we have negated all those criticisms, except I understand if you want to sack some of them, just tell which ones you want sacked, and I will take it into consideration.....do you think we should have a woman on that committee, what about a councillor to advise on family welfare and the players feelings. Yes that committee was a great idea, excuse me for now but I have 15 car dealerships who are considering TPA's for the players I am selecting!
Sure, can you explain if "I have heard" from an anonymous Internet forum account is better or the same or worse than "I know someone in the know" from an anonymous Internet facebook account?
So let me get this straight. The committee, which consists of Ryles, MON, Sarantinos and Rogers, some if not all have other employment than other the club?
If they don't have someone in charge of recruitment then what is Rogers "head of recruitment" title then?
I think some grain of salt can be taken on Ol' Cregan.
LB, with the exception of Rogers, who I don't know, the other 3 are employed full time by the club, given that MON has a Xmas Pantomine where he known for dressing and sometimes undressing in a spectacular table dance could be a part time exception done for Charity.
Yeah I was being facetious. All are employed full-time by Parramatta.
Oh! Shit.....so all that research was wasted.....silly me!
Despite recruitment not the best at Parra and hasn't been for awhile I thought the Eels team played very well against the Knights who are a top 6 top 4 side with Ponga in their team. The Eels could have and probably should have won that match except for some poor decisions, poor passing and other errors.
The Forwards did reasonably well considering a couple were back from injury and there were still some regular players missing. Ryles is going ok with the players he has available and the inexperience of many. Longi was just back from injury as well and Papali first game at 6 for awhile and Volkman's first time running the show and Williams first time as captain. I think with a full side the Eels would be further up the ladder. There are a few good players coming through lower grades who with experience will add nicely to the NRL side moving forward.
Sorry no chance we played well that 15 minutes in the second half was diabolical.
I can't say we played well after that basically handed the game to he Knights.
Whats worse is the Knights did there best to keep us in the game firing the ball around committing errors when they didn't need to.
Watching Riff and the Warriors play last night and the Raiders to they were streets ahead of what I've seen on show from us.
Played well I didn't see that I just saw a team that gave good effort for no reward.We are well off the pace all over the park.
Agree there were some poor moments like you said especially early 2nd half was terrible. Yet overall considering the mixed team, some returning from injury, some out of position etc.. I thought they did well despite the errors and they could and probably should have won if they iced those opportunities they had. Penrith definitely get some extra help from referees and bunker in my opinion and yes Penrith are a good side BUT they get a lot of calls go their way whereas their opponents don't.
