"But that's the thing. We currently don't have JDB for next year. Barnett would effectively be taking his spot. If JDB plays out of his skin we do keep him and that's a good thing. If he is average then we just cut our losses and move on. I don't…"
"If we are talking about close to home, he goes to Newcastle."
"JDB is worlds away from Barnett. Barnett is a NSW starter and Australian level prop.
Happy to see Junior extend but would be on a cut price deal IMO"

"It's not only his age solely, it's the fact we have 2 other middles who are older. If we didn't have De Belin and Paulo, absolutely go for Barnett. But we do have them, Paulo in talks to extend for 2027 and De Belin has a deal there if Ryles wants…"
"Unless a team like Brisbane or Newcastle offer 3 years guaranteed.
What if he gets hurt again after year 2? He won't have that good of an offer at 35. Extra year guarenteed he won't have to worry."

"Possible scenario ...Tripp contacts Iongi's ex (amongst other players' exes). Says do you have anything on this player? We'll pay to leak it!
Iongi's ex takes the bait.
We call her as witness in a few weeks like a double agent."

"Just get Arthur Moses to represent him, it worries me that Parra fans (with the exception of Randy) could offer the right advice."
"If he joined us he would be 32 in November and then turning 33 a month and a half into the season. Sign him for 2 years and he is 34 when he retires. Take the risk and offer 3 years and he is 35 for the last year of his deal.

"He might if the money was right. If the initial year was big and the CO year even bigger, why wouldn't he? As you say, he's still in demand. If we didn't activate the CO, it's likely he would have other offers."
"You really think Barnett would accept a CO? I mean he has plenty of suitors and is an Origin forward, he wont accept a CO from us."

Eels interested in Barnett
Parramatta are interested in Mitch Barnett. Now at 33 in 2027 and coming off ACL, good idea? Having Paulo and De Belin being 34 and 36 respectively is it good to have that much age? Ryles wants a Paulo replacement that can lead the forwards, Barnett…

Iongi: Recent Illicit Substance Scandals vs NRL Sanctions
Even if the Iongi photos are legitimate with alleged illicit substance use, it likely happened years ago while he was at the Panthers. It appears to be a personal smear campaign. Hopefully, we fully support Iongi. He's young and players aren't…

There is no doubt he is a phenomenon. Averages 64, which is second only to the Don. And the most unusual thing about him is the way he bats, which defies modern techniques.
Here is an interesting bit of trivia for you. He has now scored 6 ashes hundreds in England. No England player has ever scored that many in England.
When you take out the first dozen or so tests when he was actually selected as a bowler his average is in the 80 plus area.
Who is he?
LOL
He's definately special. Teams just can't find a way to get him out.
His technique is not in the cricketing books. Neither was Bradman's though.
Watched his whole innings last night/early this morning and his technique and mental fortitude is right outside of the ordinary. Nothing flamboyant about him, just goes on with his business and rarely faiis.
He came into this season having miseed the first 7 months due to suspension and in a few months became the number 1 scoring batsman in the world of test cricket.
FMD, a 7 months handicap given to all test cricketers and he is now starting to blow them all out of the water, and all this after being terribly knocked out in the 2nd test and not playing in the 3rd test.
FMD. Just wow, wow, wow, wowwwwwwwwww.
Exactly Snake. I think Smith is the best batsman we've had since Bradman. Bats outside the box. So skilled, yet eccentric and unothodox.
Didn't expect it when I first saw him play. Looked awkward at first.
I must admit I was a huge fan of the Great West Indian top 3. Greenidge, Hayne, and Viv.
Viv Richards is one of my all time favourite batsman. He was the gum-chewing King Of The Jungle. Never even wore a helmet. Oozed confidence, skill and domination.
No idea who he is , but if he wears New Balance he better stay the fuck away from my kids .
Weak lilly livered piece of SHIT! and now we call him a hero.
No wonder this country is fuct.
There for his own glory and pay packet.
Bit like the NRL putting the wife bashers up as the game's heroes.
