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
Players off contract
Paulo 950k
Matterson 650k
Walker 400k
Russell 350k
Pezet 400k
Debelin 250k
W Penasini 500k ???
Signings
Jaydn Su'a. 650k

As his manager, he is doing his job. Selling his client. Cheap for an NRL player would be around $250-300k you would imagine. For a Halfback around $450-500k. With the intention of starting that is too.
Overall though, doesn't matter what he is on since he is off the books in 2027.
The North Queensland Cowboys have confirmed the double signing of Jesse Ramien and Sione Katoa from the Cronulla Sharks for the 2027 and 2028 NRL seasons.
When is Sarantinos going to announce something.
Fmd the Cowboys already have a gun backline yet they can sign 2 more
It's so incompetent from our R&R, so much movement in the recruitment space but we aren't involved.
I'm not saying we should've signed Katoa or Ramien but the Cowboys have had 2 months notice with Drinkwater and Taulagi leaving and have already made signings. We haven't replaced Lomax and it's been 8 months
Ummmm, Brian Kelly is Lomax's replacement. He's obviously a piss poor replacement but he is it.
How can Kelly be when he was not bought to start. Originally it was a back 5 of Iongi, Simonsson, Penisini, Russell and Fox. Without injuries he ain't starting.
I think the club is more invested in trying to lock Burton and Spencer up before that can move to getting a centre could be young/star for whatever is I don't mind.
I haven't heard much about Leniu coming here. Thought he was committed to PNG. But who knows who we are after. Tom Jenkins had rumours around that he was coming to Parramatta, he is off-contract and there is absolutley nothing about him leaving or re-signing with Penrith. Which makes me think he is off to Parra just waiting to be announced.
It is situations like that where i think we are after people many here would know about. We are pretty good in that department where we are pretty hush hush on who we are after and sign. It is the same as players we are after according to media i believe half we aren't even after.
So who knows who we are after, we are not Saints or Wests. That can be a good thing.
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.
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"
