****. I know we have an 18 yo chev... But a 19 yo blaze looks insanely good!!

FROG

I think this is a most significant signing. Can't wait to see him in green!

FROG

When I compare weekes performance with sanders performance a week earlier against the same opposition, frankly there is no comparison. Sanders looked dangerous when he ran the ball and set up tries. Conditions would have played a part in that, but I haven't seen anything to expect anything different...

FROG

Calling a spade a spade, I thought we looked very disjointed in attack. I get that weekes had the courage to kick on the second tackle, but other than that I don't recall him creating anything else which suggests to me he will be a consistent first grader. I hope he grows in confidence after that wi...

FROG

2 Whitehead
2 Cotric
1 Strange
1 Mooney

FROG

I think our forward pack as a collective is massively over rated. As individuals they perform but as a unit I feel like we get owned in most games. Line speed in defence is atrocious. Fogartys boot keeps us in games. We're in for a long 3 months unless it improves

FROG

I think we are more likely to see Sanders at 6, Strange at centre and Kris at wing than Sandera in Cup. Obviously Strange is our long term 6 but if the choice is between Sanders or Hoppa/Cotric I think we are clearly stronger with Sanders. Kris should never play wing again. If Strange were to move ...

FROG

I think we're stuck with levy and to be fair he hasn't been our worst player this year... I think we're still a back rower short but not sure there is a whole lot out there. At some point I'm expecting Stewart will need a spell in reggies.. leaves us skinny a full back.. however, I think weeks can d...

FROG

Good running game, good D. Has had a hand in 2 tries. Can't ask for much more in a half of football

FROG

Look we need to cool our jets a little here. It’s promising that we signed a good young player but that is all it is: promising. People stating that this means we should be challenging by 2026 or whatever is not only being disrespectful to history - I can only think of Manly with DCE, Foran and Bal...

FROG

Apparently he has told the Eels he will be leaving the club at year's end. He is also tipped to make his debut this weekend. Hope both turn out to be true! Young Eels half Ethan Sanders firms for debut Parramatta skipper Clint Gutherson has shut down talk of a switch into the No.6 jumper but reveale...

FROG

Spot on BnM. Still tough to watch though

FROG

Can't deny the kid has talent but I get the impression that he is a bit entitled, and our recent acquisitions suggest that we're more interested in signing blokes who are workers both off and on the field. I think it's a strategy that is working and is one we should persevere with

FROG

700k for strange is no where near as crazy as throwing 700k at Nico hines.. who was in his mid 20s with less than 20 first grade games to his name. Strange has exceeded expectations. If we don't extend him we run a serious risk of losing him. Not a risk I'd want to take

FROG

Like a speed bump Lockyer. Coming is as the second man as someone’s already hit schiffa a small man and made him stumble. Still gets trampled. And qlders still try and argue he was a better rugby league player then John’s. You'll never see me try and argue that Lockyer was better than Johns, but I'...

FROG

I disagree colk. You point to our lack of star power as an indication that our future is bleak, and dismiss the prospect that we have 3 of the most promising junior spine players in our roster as any sign we will improve. Presumably you think the club should have signed better, experienced players, ...

FROG

Demetriou will be gone Rd 10. Don't be surprised to see Bennett return

FROG

As far as I'm concerned he can go forge a career someplace else. At some point we need to say enough is enough. I rate him, but found his comments that he was never really considered leaving the titans to be highly disrespectful. I want the club stocked with blokes that want to be at our club. It's ...

FROG

Anyone seen him play? Any good?

FROG

Sanders fits in reggies for as long ad he takes to overtake fog. The best thing we can do is get him in and give him time to mature his game. It probably benefits him to stay for the whole year at the eels to get a wider experience before joining us next year I agree. I've got no problem with him p...

FROG

I'll be first to admit that I'm disappointed. 900k is indeed a lot of cash, be we desperately need a strike player and he offers that. Imagine having LL along side timoko... Would be a lethal right edge... And frankly, i just can't see where we make our next signing...

FROG

Surely we represent a far more compelling proposition than the dragons right now... They pretty much played a first grade team today and got absolutely smoked by a reserve grade rabbits side. If the money is similar, then surely we land him

FROG

Cutting smelly would be madness! The cows are hardly and organisation to model yourself against.

I'd have thought taps would have been next in line and this could hurt his confidence. But if it was managed properly, then I see this as only positive

FROG

Ive always wondered, do train and trial contracts get counted under the salary cap? I'm wondering whether weve already signed him with this just being a way to minimise his impact on our cap?

FROG

Surely we initially had plans for him when we handed him his debut. Hoping he now kicks on. Still only young so should have plenty of upside

Wow... there's a name that I completely forgot about... would obviously provide depth in an area of need

FROG

Gee whiz... signing Stewart, chase and sanders could be an absolute master-stroke and dwarf those other signings if they live up to the hype that surrounds them... sticking them with an experienced forward pack and a couple of international centres... I get it could end badly... but gee whiz, we cou...

FROG

What I like most about this signing is that he is apparently an incredibly hard worker, sets the standard at training etc... same with smithies.. when you consider others like smelly, fog etc... it makes for a really good culture to introduce young and up coming players... time will tell if it pays ...

FROG

I'm not sure about kaeo. It concerns me that he failed to cement a first grade spot in a side that missed the 8 on the back of injuries in positions that he is meant to fill for us. The others are untested and as such, could turn out to be anything. Obviously hoping they will kick on, but its anyone...

9 Days left for this thread, anymore signing speculations? Oh sorry, wrong thread: this is another bash Ricky thread. I hope Ricky coaches us till he his 85 so all you miserable sods can talk about it on the internet for the next 30 years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The beatings will contin...

FROG

**** Matt, get a grip mate. Your comparing one of the best years we had post golden era with one of the worst years under Stuart and that's supposed to demonstrate that we are no better off under Stuart?? Laughable logic... its undeniably the case that Stuart is our second most successful coach behi...

FROG

What I find baffling is that you lot haven't figured out Stuart's selection principles. I've laid them out multiple times and time and time again I was able to predict who would be dropped and when it would happen. It is so clear to me, I find it fascinating that you all have struggled to work it ou...

FROG

Effort on try saving tackles???? Im sorry I thought we were talking about savage.. I'm prepared to admit that he offers something in attack that no one else at our club does, but to suggest that this kid even remotely displayed any attempt to put his body on the line is laughable... his D was not an...

FROG

Who?? I guess that's the point

FROG

If Canberra have paid him even 100k more than minimum wage it’s an absolute disaster. And I’d bet they’ve severely, severely overpaid. Gee whiz mate. Paying a player ~200k who was good enough to play 20 games in one of the best teams in history, in a role that we desperately need to find depth is h...
