They letting off Mahoney to cowboys so they fit Thompson in to
Feel Gagai would be a really smart signing. Our centres haven't had a genuine experienced centre to learn from in their time at the Eels. Our last actual centre was Michael Jennings (and Opacic, but he was in and out of first grade).
Maybe that has impacted Penisini's development... Him, Russell & Simo, would obviously learn a lot from Gagai (especially defensively)... And he is currently playing fullback at the Knights, and is still playing very well.
Don't think we'd be letting either Penisini go, as Gagai has probably 1-2 years left?! But, like JDB for our forwards, it might be more a stretegy move to help our younger players through.
Does anyone have a link to Adrian's report? I can't seem to find anything anywhere.
Interesting if we are looking at Gagai; think we should leave as is tbh; Simmo / Penis and Russell; and does he offer any speed?
To me we need a couple NRL / bench type forwards to compliment what we have around Hopgood / Paulo / Williams.
On Russell, he has shown more promise under Ryles than he did last season and before; give him another 12 months as centre and he could be better; he is strong and has some pace; and has outplayed Penisini
Penisini had a good game, his highlights package doesn't match Russell, but you cannot say he outplayed Penisini, after all they were playing together.
One swallow does not a summer make!
Everyone was calling for his head (Russells) and that was undeserved as well.
We should go for Joey Manu.
Entice him back
He will go to Warriors. But if Roosters or Warriors cannot do so how can we? He's earning bub money in Rugby.
Kless haas, Tom Gilbert,kikau.
This an interesting discussion. I hope it's fafita or Sua. Probably will be Curran. He was rumored a while ago. If this is true JR prefers Jack Williams in the centre of the field.
