"Renzo is 18, Twidle is 22. Which one is going to grow more? Renzo is a more than 80% tackle effectiveness so far in his NSW Cup career. It's actually the same as Mitch's career tackle effectiveness. "

"Thanks EA.  As an avid Parra fan, I just hope the club have made the right decision in not competing for him v the Bears. It is just frustrating sometimes that we developed players and when they are a bit ready to play FG, some team will poach them…"

"Spot on Super. From what i've seen and heard, The Bears don't have a capable football department running the show (apparently he's an ex cop) so making decisions like this is on the cards as they're looking to build depth through swinging and hoping…"

"Well parramatta only offered him 80k a year, so they could be to bothered if he went or not, if they wanted him to stay they would of offered a lot more, we have other options & better options, he's defence isn't up to it, and it hasn't improved…"

"Our R&R has been below acceptable for some time now. So how anyone can have faith in this being a good decision is a bit beyond me. Time will tell if Apa leaving is a good or bad call by the club but there's simply no way we can feel assured that…"

"I wonder if he didn't have that debut would it be a headline?
His preferred position is fullback that is blocked long term.
His 2nd position is 5/8 the club have backed Lorenzo with Volkman still here potentially next year.
And Joash as a back up in…"

"No worries at all bud"

"Hector not all, no issues with what you said mate. Just was trying to explain why I said what I said is all. Sorry if it came across the wrong way."

"LB im on your side mate and if you see what i was trying to to get across sorry if you thought otherwise "

"Api and Joash are the same age. I honestly feel Api body has not changed much since SG Ball."

"Yep Coryn and to be whilst Twiddle is someone that would be valuable to Eels. He is a luxary and not a need to me. There are better talents in my eyes that we must retain first."

"People dont see the poor parts in his game because they focus only on the upside."

"We have to be far better than we were in attack against the Dogs to beat Manly."

"Well recently we have failed to retain the right juniors like Sanders, Talagi, etc. The DB thing etc.
I feel the club made the right decision here. Plus even if we match Perth's offer why would Twiddle stay to be 3rd choice fullback? Everyone saying…"

"This is what has most of those who don't like losing juniors the most concerned.
Are we going all in on the wrong players like we have done a lot of in the last 40 years? 
Hopefully, our pathways identification is a whole lot better now."

"If we keep the production line at nearly full capacity we can pick and choose as the pathway plan evolves.
Hopefully Apa goes well and gets a decent career going.
If he wasn't really in Ryles mid term plans then he is probably the similar to what…"
