Official Jayden Berrell

Any word on his arm/shoulder injury?

I thought he had played alright the last two games so hopefully it’s nothing too severe.

They said medial ligament in his elbow so he will be out awhile

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

My thoughts go out to him. It looked nasty.

Injuries are never good, but still.....I can see why he has been playing RESERVE grade for a long time....

Yeah I agree with this. I am sure he is a top bloke and trains hard, but at the same time he is a career reserve grade player and not who you want to have to rely on in first grade.

Think he should try his luck in the super league, i was hopeful for him but don't see any other nrl club taking a punt on him for anything other than depth.

I don't know anything about his off-field situation but not sure he'd be getting a good enough offer from Super League to uproot his life over at 29. I know players older than that often go but I can't imagine they'd be splashing the big bucks for him - every chance nobody even wants to use a roster spot for him.

Potentially should have signed from QCup to Super League though

Jayden Berrell is off contract now isn't he or am I wrong & got 1 more season? He hasn't re-signed so if I'm right he's obviously leaving us?

At this stage no contract info for
- Berrell
- Burns
- Puru
- Taukamo
- Bradbury
- Hiroti (unconfirmed rumour he has signed to stay another season)

Doesn't mean they are definitely leaving but they certainly aren't locked in as staying.

He does things like Billy Magoulious does.

Especially with Healey gone he’s a big keep

For him I doubt anyone would offer him enough to unsettle him from his settled role with us and Jets, especially now he has actually had an NRL game

 

[The Punisher]

Rather we'd kept Healey over Berrell

 

[stalefish]

that doesnt work for healey tho does it? you gotta let that peacock fly!

Yeah we probably wouldn’t rather it at the price it’d take to give up a decent opportunity to play some NRL some time soon

Agreed, Healey does look good but he’s not good as Brailey yet. He might get there and be better but it will be a while.

Couple that with Brailey being an 80 min player and rarely gets injured can’t blame him for him not staying. Berrell seems content in his role and don’t see him getting a starting gig anywhere

 

[Gumby]

Glad he’s potentially sticking around.

 

[HaroldBishop]

I love his effort

How could that have even been possible?
