"Totally agree with you on a guymer type player. I wouldn't have Tualagi anywhere near first grade. We have a lot better players than him. I don't have will drop anyone. Ma defensively is not ready for first grade yet. "
"I can't think of a team that has gone backwards so quickly in that short of time. From where we were from the start of the year to this. Look at us now compared to the dogs."

Too funny
Nothing to read into IMO. I believe he wll resign long term. Why would he take a PO that was negotiated in SG ball or even HM.
Exactly. He is on the cusp of being a regular NRL player, so would be looking for an upgraded deal. The club is no doubt working on this right now, and they have already indicated that they want to keep him.
Wow, it's no wonder the media keep provoking Eels supporters - we can be so gullible at times! Stop believing everything you hear in the media.
For this to have made the media requires Talagi's agent to have fed the info (not only of the lapsed player option but of the decision to go to the open market.
It's easy for them to shut it down "Talagi is committed to the club, loves the Eels, and is looking forward to playing a big part in the NRL side which is why we're negotiating an upgraded contract."
But they didn't.
Again, I don't blame Talagi or his agent for this - the onus is on the Eels to shut this down and agree on a party line before it becomes media clickbait. We've become excellent at shutting down all of the articles about our business side, but still are terrible at shutting down articles on the football side of things.
Our Head of Football needs to do better. We can't be naive and blame the media for turning a flicker into a flame - that's their job. It's MON's job to not let the flicker exist in the first place.
Cap could also be used to con Parra into a higher wage also. Bit like how Moses seemed interested in Dogs and Tigers when all along he wanted to stay at Parramatta, just tried to make them fret to up their price.
Same here, act like going out, testing the market. Eels boost it by say $100k-150k.
