Signing

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

  • 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

                  • Why admit we're interested if we have someone already for 2026? Doesn't make sense. All he could say is what most teams do tip toe around it and say "nah we're not" when we are

                    Rarely do clubs admit interest in a player unless they believe they can get them.
