Ben Hunt out for a month - only going to make their hard run to the finals even harder. We might Bradbury our way into a Top 8 spot at this rate.

edit: I caved, suggests Sean O'Sullivan or Billy Walters will loan to us (and not be eligible to play finals)

O’Sullivan and Walters….

Would rather just stick with what we have

Thanks fellas. I forgot what year it was but I remember when O’Sullivan was being hyped big time. Definitely been underwhelming.

Sorry egg, I don’t want to sound petty or rude but when it’s something like that, its better just to post the names with the link instead of just a ****ing teaser like your making money off of Triple M clicks.

The utility for the dogs, Bailey Biondi-odo looks a goer. Would be a great budget pickup to compete for the 14/9/7/6.

He's replaced Young Flanno in the halves this round.

Wow!
He is down as been dropped, not injured after just the 1 game back.
Sadly I’d say that puts a line through young Flanagan at the dogs Surely!

As one of the commentary team said the other day (maybe Brandy) said something along the lines of “the Roosters don’t let players leave unless they aren’t up to NRL standard”. Actions speak a thousand words!

I’d have the feelers out in SL for a 2-3 year contract if I was him and try to get some games, experience behind me and make a run for the NRL again after that.

Yep he's been dropped. Still listed in the extended lineup so I'd assume not injured.

Any Eel worth snaring ?

TO RE-SIGN OR TO LET GO? IT’S DECISION TIME FOR THE EELS

With November 1 creeping up quickly, the Eels will need to make some big calls on the future of several of their stars before they get snapped up by rivals.

As of November 1, players that are off-contract at the end of 2022 can begin negotiating with rivals.

For the Eels this means Clint Gutherson, Junior Paulo, Reed Mahoney and Ryan Matterson among others can hit the market in less than three months if the club don’t lock them in beforehand.

I'd be happy with any of those players, on the right Dough.

Yeah and I don't think they'd come at the right price for us. Maybe throw some interest out just to push the prices up.
Materson is a HIA concern though. Paulo would really complete our front row. Paulo Finucane (bench: Rudolf, Williams, BHU, Hunt all fighting for 2-3 spots)

Junior Paulo would be a good fit, and maybe Gutho in the centres, although I think Gutho will want mega $$$$$'s

When did the Kangaroo tours disappear?
Just reminiscing on the early 90’s tours which was only a three game test series but was way more than that. Mid-week promotional games against the English teams were televised on the free channels.
