WTF is going on with signings versus departures?

So, if all reports are accurate ( yes I know, as if ), we have lost the following players from our squad for for next season regardless of the reason why:

Beau Scott, Cameron King, Kenny Edwards, Taka, Vave, She Rex, Auva'a,  French and Davis.  Reports saying we are still trying to offload either Norman or Moses, Jennings and rumours are more to come.

We have singed a carpenter at 27 who has never played NRL ( wish him luck), Lane, Ferguson, JPaulo and Sivo.

Do we have unannounced signings?  Why are we still trying to offload players if we have cannot replace them?  Is it media beat up?   Surely our Juniors, are not the solution for next year, or they would have already been promoted?

Is the Club saying they have left it too late for 2019 and have been so short sighted, that they have written of next year already?

Just OMG.

  • I managed to list NINE FG players left in our squad in another blog mate - we'll be right.

    The Eels will make NRL history by being the only team to ever sack the team and keep the coach.

    • This is looking even worse than I thought we were.  So many five years plans.  What has this mob been doing for the past couple of years?

    • Hi Mate, again, media and what is true and what is not?  Why can't the Club clear this up for fans.  Current so called status, Hayne not yet resigned.  Mennimngs being shopped around ( Newcastle ), Either Norman or Moses to leave and in your listed squad a heap of very, very under dones!

    • You did better than me mamm - you got a squad of 20 previous FG players and half a dozen untried hopefuls.

      I feel much more confident for *NEXT YEAR *sigh* after reading this.

      Our top 30 have 27 players with at least 7 untried in FG.

      Over da moon.

    • you are missing B.A .... captain and coach..............lol.............

  • It's what you would call unorganized chaios and it's looking very much like Gurr has taken full control over every aspect of what Arthur has failed to build.

    Arthur very conveniently had the major of his big name players off contract at the same time his contract ran out, and saw 2019 as his career saving year, meaning this big player movement is the last thing ba wanted. But it seems the club isn't having a bar of that and is looking further ahead than just 2019.

    It's guaranteed 2019 will be Arthur's last season at Parramatta, and we're cleaning the decks for the next chapter.
    Its Bye bye brad & don't let the door hit you

    I've had my say about Bernie Gurr, but this is a very positive move by him.

    • Yep, and a total re-build starts the end of next season. 5 years before we are a consistent top 8 team.

    • I thought the clean out started with Ricky Stuart, 5 years ago.
      • Yep and here we are again, remember Brad said no Wooden Spoons under my watch...…… Like Hell!

      • It’s a 5 year plan with a 5 year option .
