If you can only name one player who you think will be most likely coming to Parramatta for 2027, who will it be ?
Whether you truly have inside info or just an educated guess, it doesn't matter. The whole excersize of this blog is to create some positivity, as I really think there'll be at least two decent signing for 27.
Now please don't turn this blog into a negative R & R discussion, as we should have the cash to make these signings happen. We should have upwards of 1.5 - 2 million dollars to spend you'd have to think.
Just name 1 or maximum 2 potential signings

Two months notice? They told Taulagi at the end of last year they weren't renewing him and Drinkwater nearly went to Dogs at start of the year. The talk of Purdue going to 1 started with his negotiations end of last year.
They weren't given sudden notice then needed to make a decision, you know that right? Both those players leaving was on the cards for 4-6 months.
Joel had we signed Katoa or Ramien do you consider that a replacement for Lomax? Not many can replace Lomax type to be fair.
Lomax was a top 3 winger in the comp, I was never expecting a 1:1 replacement and I would've accepted Sami, Katoa or Cobbo.
its just the fact that we we ended up taking the easy option in bringing Simonsson back who had a cry and requested a release only a month before
Simonsson was already signed long term before that so Ryles had a plan for him. So makes sense just keeping him.
Issue is why complain about not signing Katoa or Ramien? They are fine and are slightly better than what we have but there are options out there better than them who have not been signed. Particularly Centres.
Xerri, Timoko, Jenkins. These i would consider better options. Katoa is now injury prone. Ramien is fine but with Xerri and Timoko chances of leaving i think they are better options.
Saying you would have accepted them is fair. That is a fair term 'Accepted'. For me though, i am willing to wait til the likes of Jenkins, Xerri, Timoko and more are gone before going off. Taulagi i would have loved but we obviously wont get him.
I am just a bit over people just complaining about every signing made and saying why aren't we signing them. Half the players they say that about they would complain if we signed them.
Gun backline? They are losing Drinkwater and Taulagi.
Signing 2 30 year olds, Katoa was on verge of getting dropped for Muliatlo before getting hurt.
Yeah they are signing players but come on you really think Ramien and/or Katoa are players that improve us massively? Are they better than what we have? I would argue Ramien is slightly and Katoa right now perhaps, but they are short term. Many here would complain about them this time next year if we got them.
Or we just gonna react to every single player that is signed elsewhere and say "we can't do anything"
Entire cowboys back line is better than these two. They are signing them as cover.
Ramien is an ill disciplined, loose footballer. Pass.
Katoa, when not injured, is class. Problem is he's struggled the last 2 years plus with injuries. Pass.
I'd suggest Milky and Tago as instant improvements and without a word of a lie it couldn't happen quick enough if we are in competition with others the odds are dropping by the minute.
I'd be shocked if Farnworth or any other elite player is looked at coming here but Ali shocked the world have our R n R got it in them from what we've seen I'd suggest chances are low so we'll go for the next tier and settle not a bad 2 players to settle for now can we land them who knows.

Are 4 signings (would be happy with 2 of the 4) that could change this club if coached right.
