Not mine but from elsewhere. Chammas & Prosehenks
● The Eels have knocked back an approach from Adam Douhi's Management. - Chammas
● Dane Gagai potential recruitment target. - Chammas
● Sandon Smith - Eels have rejected the idea of him joining
● Parramatta have signed quality back rower - Adrian Proshenko. Lock/Second row.
Don't know who but any guesses? Welcome
More details on The Cumberland Throw's podcast - highly regarded.

1. I would have taken Douehi, I quite like him, but......
2. and 3. The Club/Ryles clearly rate our youngsters in the backs and the halves and won't sign people unless a marquee signing OR
Judging by the De Belin signing, I can see a Gagai as experience signing for 1 year until we make sure Twidle/Richie/Alemaddine or whoever is upt to it or not.
4. Quality back rower would be welcome, and it would mean Ryles wants Williams fulltime in the props. But who?
I'm agreeing with you to an extent Yehez.
I would have taken Douehi in a heart beat. I hope it is just money that has turned us away at this point. He now has Issaac Moses going into bat for him.....coming to Parra with a 5/8 is a logical move after the set up wih Galvin. I wonder if Parra thinks that Isaac M was inclusive of that set up? If so Parra may not want to deal with him again.
Don't rule Douehi out yet!
Gagai would not sign for 1 year unless he has got a picture of retiring . I am thinking like most players of his ilk and age are looking for a contract for 2/3 years to finish on....re Guth, RCG etc. Going further here we could offer a good deal for 1 year and a club option for a further year i.e JAC.
What makes it interesting is winning against the Broncs, if we can maintain that form then a lot more players will be interested about a team going somewhere.
Matty Johns nearly swallowed his tongue last night saying that in some time of Jason Ryles tenure with Parramatta coaching, he will win a premiership....did anyone else note that? I reckon a few interested observers would have!
Heard that to it was an interesting quip out of the blue.The rest of the couch were taken a back when he said it.
Dene Mariner Pops if available do you like him.
I've liked the look of him for awhile much like Tieg Wilton.I've been on those shark backrowers for years especially Nikora.
it's not Wilton/Bullemor/Garner as it states he has played Lock
elliot?
Maybe, my guess is Tyson Frizell
About to have option taken up.
That was my fear, is he still considered top quality?
For us , everyone is top quality . Then as soon as they sign they become " top 5 in the comp " in their relevant positions . That is of course until they sign elsewhere and then they're back to being shit .
Tom Cant is my guess.
