We should have more then enough money to buy Koloamatangi Garrick Murray
With no Lomax Matterson Lane Cartwright Brown thats a big chunk off our salary cap we can buy players
We got got 2 players for next year and 1 only for 1year what a joke
At this stage i think we come last lost to many players replace them with only 2 players

That's right Jack. Sure it's natural for eels fans to be impatient, but anyone can see Ryles has us heading in the right direction.
If I was one of the wingers here's some advice - turn your phones off for 3 months, then come back and see if we've signed anyone.
People with this frigging social media click happy impatient fans with a constant need of a dopamine fix, there's your advice, take it or leave it. If you take it, you'll be happier and healthier
Yep, want 3 good quality signings and want them now or Im at severe risk of succumbing to dopamine defficiency.
Get on it MON!
Chiefy, the sites immortal moron, giving advice to be patient! that's up there with the votes of becoming a "double immortal". Chief has been brought in by the World's Generals to see which War to start next!
No one. We're signing no one significant at all. They'll just spread the cap around so we're cap compliant but if you're after a big name I think you'll be disappointed.
Well if that's the case, then expect the draught to continue well into the 40s.
FMD, never thought I'd live this long and never see another premiership since 86.
From what I've heard Keaon asking price is 900k at least and south's just don't have that kind of money currently. They just brought in Fifita to. Eels are locked in on getting Keaon and should have no issues offering that deal
The new NRL teams and R360 will cause significant salary inflation. $900k sounds realistic for a player like Koloamatangi.
It is, he wants middle forward money and he'd basically be taking Juniors spot as leader of the pack. 900k to 1 mill is probably spot on. Then he's your main front rower and leader
The pack leader doesn't work that way Eli, leadership is something that is inherent in a player. If Kolo sees himself in that role, he will discuss same with Paulo and Ryles. My guess coming to a new club, that would be the least of his worries.
If you watched anything in the last few months and actually learnt something that a journalist didn't write you would realise the outstanding leadership Junior displayed. As recent as yesterday he was at training, looking over the process and suggesting he will be back next week!
Who do you think the young forwards at Parramatta will look to as their leader Kolo, because he got paid more than Junior? Please try to create some original thought rather than what is politicallly the right thing to say because AI told you so.
Exactly Pou. Many in the game are saying we need to up salaries to not match R360 as we won't be able to but at least close the gap somewhat. Instead of $1.3 being the peak of salaries maybe $2mil can be. The likes of $900k would be equivalent to a player on $600k.
But this also links to the talk of a 19 round comp and should hit that nail on the head as to close the gap to R360 you cannot drop the game that match to broadcasters. Adding the same weeks with an extra game a week til the 20th team would up the tv deal significantly. You don't want same deal or if a broadcaster is that desperate to get it but offer slightly more. Yoh want a significant increase if offering one more game a week.
Thats how you try and compete with R360.
