I wonder if they'll try and get him early now

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025
Im certain they'll try but with the Moses injury being long term and his debut game sort of cementing his spot in FG short term... i cant see the Eels releasing him now.VictorTheViking wrote: ↑April 29, 2024, 10:36 am I wonder if they'll try and get him early now

Circumstances have not gone our way on this... if Moses was healthy, and they hadn't seen Asi and Tulagi options perform as they have we'd have a shot, but right now based on what they do know, he's now their primary back up half and until Moses comes back, he's starting for them.
Tough sitch for us im afraid.

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025
If we came asking for an early release and I was Parra I'd say give us Mariota or Savage and we can talk. We'd rightfully baulk at that and wait till next season.LimeGreenMachine wrote: ↑April 27, 2024, 10:05 pm we should try and get him early. Get him into our system.

I just can't see any deal to be made here that suits both sides.

You definitely don't give them those players. You negotiate but they wouldn't move anyway until Moses is back

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025
Who would you give them then? They won't be chasing our contractual liabilities like Levi and Hoppa. I don't see why they'd have a short term need for Cotric, but even if they did they'd have to squeeze his half-year salary in.
Having a competent back up half is way more valuable than any of those players, as we found out the hard way last night.

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025
I would open talks with Schiller and the Eels to see if that could work
He's leaving us anyways, the coach loves Hoppa, we've still got Crotic and Asomua around the top 30. So he's someone we can afford to let go
For him, he's on his way out of town anyways, a short staycation in sydney where he'll play FG (we see it to him that Hoppa is getting his job here anyways)
For Parra, they need a short term quality outside back, they dont need a long term option as they've signed Lomax. They're playing Sivo, Simo and Harper... Cant tell me Schiller isnt an upgrade in their backline
Would it work? honestly doubt it... but that's who i'd try to sell Parra on to get Sanders early

Moses is back in three weeks, they should just give us Strangers then.

We're not trading anyone of value who's contracted for 2025 just to get a guy here a few months early.

Relax. He has told Parramatta and his team mates that he is going to Canberra.

Afraid not, beyond the time frames already mentioned. And it wasn’t last Thursday. The 10 days should be up by this Friday/Saturday at the latest.bayraider wrote:I am very nervous

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025
I am not sure the same risk is there. For Sanders to reneg on the deal, Parra would have to be able to match the Raiders offer and they have shown up to now that they are unable to do that. So short of Moses or Brown suffering a career ending injury over the next couple of days, I think we are safe.RaiderSpark wrote: ↑April 30, 2024, 11:53 am Has the 10 day cooling period finished yet?

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025
They've apparently made several attempts over the last few months to retain him, put offers forward and he's rejected them all.
I dont think there is much risk of us not getting him. Frankly he'd be a fool to knock back the money (and opportunity) we're offering

Yeah, if this was getting flipped it would have happened long ago. Chill guys. Sit back and wait for the official announcement.

You don't go and sit down with coach and tell him you are leaving to only then reneg. Coach has also told the media that he is leaving. It's happening we announced some women re-signing today , we arent going to take the spot light off that by announcing Sanders

He won't go to Roosters, they've got Sandon Smith and I suspect will buy someone proven on top of him too

I’m confident they’ll have Welsby next year.

He wants to play with Strange and Stewart - his NSW U19 buddies. He sees the potential for them as a group. He is not backing out.

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025
Bit late to the party, but I was blown away with how straight Sanders played for a young half. Our outside backs are going to thrive under him and Strange.
