"No to keeping Kelma - has no idea how to defend"
"I wasn't disagreeing with your overall point. I was more talking about the use of "subjective". Opinions on a player's ability are subjective, but his market is largely determined by what clubs are willing to offer. And I wasn't annoyed, just…"
"If we do re-sign Kelma it's purely to see how Jezaiah continues developings. With Su'a coming and Kiti really developing I can't imagine we'd want to block Jez long term."
"Never disagreed with you LB, just explained the subjectiveness of "his market" you are getting a bit sensitive in your old age, too much time on social media.

"Your a good judge Richard and well put JC"
"I see that to JC"
"Doesn't that actually support my point? If Super League is offering the security of a three-year deal while NRL clubs aren't, that's a reflection of his market. Market isn't just ability, it's what clubs are prepared to offer and for how long.

"Yeah he's running over half's every week atm. Him and Kautoga have been damaging "
"Another positive to Volkman is he can play 7 as well. That is what we need someone who can take the reins if Moses is out."
"I wouldn't be giving Volkman a massive deal but a 1-2 year deal is fair."
"You may find that legally they could do nothing about it with regard to a straight out sacking.
Proper management would have limited his opportunities and eventually settled him back in Reserve Grade.

""His market" is subjective LB, his future at SL is probably a 3 year deal, which will see him home, realistically he probably like most of us, see about one good year left in him for NRL.....

"You can see the improvement in Volkman. He's still young and learning each week. I'd like to see him stay to be honest. Another off season and he will improve even more."
"I'm not sure on salary or duration for volk, but if we follow the same model we did with Iongi we will be in good stead."
"Who knows if we were talking to him. But also, if he goes to SL, I think that says a lot about his market at the moment and what all the other teams think.
Is Volkman worth the investment for at least another year? I would say yes."

Remember Rodney Hogg
Rodney was a late arrival to Test cricket at age 27. Born in Victoria he was overlooked by state selectors and moved to Adelaide to find an earlier path to Shield.He was selected and within a year he was noticed by Alan Davidson who mentioned his…

DISGRACEFUL REFEREEING AGAIN!!!
I think it's fair to say the NRL has it in for us.No 6 agains for the Eels every game.This game with a few minutes to go, the ref clearly calls the marker not square on a delayed call, the Eels challenge and he says you can't challenge, it was a 10m…

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.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
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
There is a reason he is the first "Champion" of Parramatta. Played in all of our Grand Final wins. One of the all time greats and worthy of Immortal status. I laugh at anyone who knocks him as a goal kicker. He held the all time ARL/NRL point scoring record for years kicking leather balls from sand mounds. More importantly, a champion human being. Great photo Garry.
Also needs to be remembered he didn't start playing NSWRL until he was 26 so his total points scored could have been higher if he started earlier.
