I have heard Jack bird is close to signing a two year contract with us from 2026. I'm not sure how I feel about this

    • At least Elliott offers a lot more. Bird is a shot duck these days, offers nothing apart from his versatility, which we have far better backups in every position he can play.

  • thats a no for me, what does he offer ? he isnt young or big or skillful 

  • What's he going to do for us that Dylan Walker isn't already? No for me 

    • Would be dirt cheap and bring experience to the squad, maybe tigers are even paying some of the bill. It won't effect our salary cap much if any 

      • but do we need dirt cheap players ATM - he would come off the bench we have Da silva, walker and 2 propper forwards, Jack is like a poor verson of walker

        • No, we don't. We should have squillions to spend and this is the best we can do?

          • But nobody wants our money. Usually when a team has money like we should , you're hearing player managers leaking stories left and right about their players being linked to us , even clubs leak stories about their warchest to the media hoping to shake some fruit free. 

            The silence in this case is very alarming. When Canterbury were chasing , every Tom ,Dick and Harry were  linked to them months before they signed them , and guess what , it happened. 

            Im concerned that decent players are buying into the fact they'll never win a comp if they come to Parramatta.  It's the place you come when the offers have dried up . 

            • I honestly beleive Ryles had his man near before 25 kickoff for 5/8.

              He seemed disinterested Brown signed elsewhere, wasn't interested in Doeihi or Smith.

              Playing Joash at 5/8 when he's clearly a fullback suggests he's signed someone already.

              If that's the case Pezet makes the most sense as he can transition into halfback in a couple of years.

              All this money you just have to sell a forward pack to a kid who's father played here

              • How do you explain Galvin then? Seemed we were very interested in Galvin well and truly into the season.

                • All Ryles said was we're interested, once again fairly non plussed

"Mick, I went to all those semis and the one against Penrith was gold; even Easts game we made errors and Moran played well. Excellent footy we played The Brisbane team was packed with stars And from memory we only lost by half a dozen or so? "

"Good write up here - we have as much to play for as Easts. My gut tells me they're more willing to go the yard and make less errors.
We just need to hang in there; play our game; cut the stupid errors and compete for 80. Sounds easy enough.
