"From the talk on Nanva many saying he would be a better back-rower."
"Russell has a few young players breathing down his neck. It really depends on injuries and form of these guys. A great opportunity for a young bloke to cement a first grade spot."
"In another blog, EA stated him/her/them is in India"
"Russell has surprised the hell out of me this year and it's been great watching him develop.
If true it will be sad to see him go.
My bet is we don't sign anyone and just promote from within."

"Yep agreed. Russell has come along way and is now a serviceable player, doesn't do a whole lot in attack but is a big body that plugs a whole.
Looking forward to see what Richie can do. Just hope he's not another project "

"Well Brown saw out his contract too. He was a free agent when signing for Newcastle. Yes had options but still a free agent as he didn't activate it."

ANY MORE SIGNINGS???
I've been frustrated recently about the work we have been doing in the open market. Jonah's alright for a year and JDB is solid but he's getting old. I feel we need more in the forwards and some a replacement outside back. All I have seen is links…

Mick and Peter Mortimer sat directly behind me at the 09 grand final, absolutely top shelf bloke, they were both very pleasant and quite happy to chat.
This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.

😆😆😆 far out lol

Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
For his day he was a great kicker, toe bashing leather balls off sand isn't easy.
As a centre he was defensively flawless and was impossible to put on the ground when carrying the ball.
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
