"Pure speculation. And really, it should be 'NO DEAL' until they come to the party with a player WE WANT + a compensation payment. Presumably, Moses has them over a barrel, so that should be the only acceptable outcome."
"Heard its 300k cap relief and 100k cash"
"Agreed. There is no way Ryles will want Lomax anywhere near the squad. He's finally got everyone buying in - doesn't need someone with an eye to his next contract elsweher."
"We were after Moale in the off season and he chose the Storm over us the irony if he were to end up with us after choosing the mentioned."

They are running a senior talent squad of U17 and u18s to keep them under their own eye, something most people don't know is that as the Western Academy is sited at St Mary's, any Parra players have to transfer into the Penrith district and play basically under their control. Once the Matts is over, they transfer back into the Parramatta district jumior league, complicated and unnecessary
The Academy play a Penrith style,of footy, and to be honest it is not the same as our players have become accustomed to ( forward dominated) having said that, the Academy will help develop players in the !Matts side that just missed out on selection
In the Matts side, Scneider playing 9, was the standout, kicking goals from the sideline and setting up plays when guiding the team well, back,up hooker Sommerton also played well. Valance Harris was a constant menace on the edges too. The fullbacks on both sides were Parra players and looked very comfortable,JP Nohra in the Parra side was very good on his feet , both defended well
The U15 talent squad played the Canberra u15 and won comfortably, 7 tries to 2
Thanks for the write up Sixties. What style of Player is Travis Turnbull mate?
And thanks for your input to Derek, much appreciated.
IMO even someone like Sterling would struggle to compete in today's Parramatta junior system. The size and strength of the other kids would make a young Sterlo look average and therefor he probably wouldn't make it at Parramatta today. Maybe the Eels need someone that can identify the thinking footballers and concentrate on developing there footy brain for the future.
Put simply, NRL comps are usually won on the back of the footy brain whereas junior comps are usually won by the bigger stronger kids.
It's always good to see the junior rep sides winning, but maybe, our club is missing the big picture.
Good luck to our kids, I wish them all the best.
William Kei, a centre we got from the Dogs I believe. From the few games I've seen of him he's powerful and has a nice left foot step.
