The Tip Sheet is also available on Spotify and iTunes!
While the international representatives are still on enforced rest, the Parramatta Eels now have all their other first graders back on deck and the preseason intensity has risen up several notches as a result. The Tip Sheet breaks down all the latest happenings from Kellyville as Jason Ryles ramps his boys up with the turn to Summer around the corner. The Foxx officially recommits to the Blue & Gold while the NRLW add a pair of young talents.
So what exactly is the deal with R360? With Roger Tuivasa-Sheck rumoured to be exploring a return to the New Zealand Warriors – is the rebel league dead in the water? What does that mean for the Eels and Zac Lomax? More player transactions dot the market as teams scramble to round out their Top 30s. The boys discuss all this and sundry as they go around the grounds in the NRL.
So our only signings so far are old man De Belin and a guest cameo by Jonah Pezet. We are so skinny for outside jacks it is ridiculous. What the hell are our recruitment team doing? If they can’t bring anyone decent in then the next signings for the eels should be a new management team ! Truly pathetic the lack of signings given how many players have left.
Totally agree with you not much happening with player movement and we are four weeks away from Christmas. We have 3 to 4 spots left hoping to at least sign two external backline players with some nrl experience if we don’t and we have to bring in players within., we are in trouble happy with our forwards but we need strike out wide. Come on RNR give us some news for God sake how patient can we be cheers Ray
Somehow believe we as a club should be past the projects and up and comers in recruitment. With apparently 25 currently in the top 3, and other teams seeming to be moving with signings and extensions, there is a real need for the front office to make a statement that the club is serious about improvements as we give some patience to the juniors coming through.
Feels li’e the next week or 2 is a crucial period for additions to the NRL line up, most digits are crossed hoping for good news
