I have no inside intel or contacts within rugby league circles, but this is one rumour I keep seeing in different parts of the internet. Social media, Penrith forums, other eels forums etc.
Milky Jenkins apparently is going to sign a 3 year deal with Parra. Again I don't know how true this is. He'd be a good addition. Yes he plays on the end of a dominant team and yes he was average at Newcastle. But he was also a kid. He's matured and coming into the peak years of his career. Quick, great in the air and often makes 200m a game. Something we are lacking. I'd love for this to be true.

Where'd you see this?
Another eels fan blogging pages, a few Penrith blogs on the same site and then just Facebook comments etc. Like I stated not much evidence but it has been a rumour that stated up about 2 months ago and hasn't left yet.
I agree with your sentiments on him (if this is true), would be a handy signing. Need maybe 2 more but Su'A and Jenkins is a nice start. I would have loved to see us try for Averillo but again that's not the end of the world, I'd be quite happy with Jenkins, Su'A with maybe someone like an Izack Tago and Spencer Leniu.
Much better option than moses suli, I just hope to god eels go this way instead of a saints has been
If you listen to Paul Kent podcast today he said Suli is going to Parramatta. Now before we burn CommBank alight, he also said Galvin to Eels was 100% done and look how that turned out.
If the case, Ryles' leaning on old mate Creagh for signings is worrying.
For what its worth Kenty has said he reckons Moses Suli is 3 quarters signed for us.
I also remember him saying Lachlan Galvin was certain to be a Parramatta Eel. How'd that go?
Just said that Jack. Look if we get Jenkins and say Leniu, Suli is not a great signing but also there are much worse. If we just got Suli then yeah not good.
Look LB, if we get Jenkins, Leniu, Suli and Burton with Sua also coming and bring up some young kids into our 30 we could be on track. We aren't a bad team we need certain type of players within our system so we can flourish in NRL.
What I was saying Parrafan is Suli is not a great signing in scheme of things. But if you mix him in with other signings like say Jenkins and Leniu as the example then the signing is not that bad as an added addition.
Its not that I hate Suli, I don't mind him. Defensive stats aren't too bad, he's a big body and experienced and a point to prove. But he's also not massively better than what we currently have and compared to the likes of Timoko, Xerri and possibly Tago, we could have gotten better. But if we get Jenkins and others like Leniu and even Burton, Suli is not a bad addition.
