  • Cue the reasons why we didn’t get him. IE it’s Brad and Bernie’s fault and the club is rubbish, clueless, NFI, Waaaah waaaah waaah waaah waaah lol 

  • We only steal players like Niukore and Alvaro

  • Seriously, who cares?  We could be in the mix to get any NRL Player.  Not intended as a shot at you mate, but where we presently are, the cycle will continue.  Either purchase retirement options and hope, fringe players and hope or pay massive overs to get a decent signing or two.  That is the cycle we have been lowered into for years now.  

  • No need to cry over spilt milk. Fonua Blake is the player Parramatta should be after still young quick and aggressive with a bit of skill. 

    • Crying is the 1eyedeel cornerstone Darren. It’s quite unbelievable really.

      • Cornerstone, I like it! Thanks nudge!

    • Yeah his mum looks like a real babe....maybe she could come in and play front row....like a two for one deal. 

  • Why would Hass want to come to the Eels unless its for a semi-retirment package! The Eels already have enough HASS- els as it is they need anymore.

    • It starts by hiring a top line coach, followed by consitantly playing finals footy and of course Ka-ching $$$$$$$$

  • We got David Fafita but let him go because his asking price was $30k of non-cap $ more than we thought it should be
