What a docket this week! The Eels are in overdrive on multiple fronts. Junior Paulo and Brian Kelly have re-signed while Frank Howarth has reportedly signed with the club. Beyond that there are fresh links to Bradman Best, Blaize Talagi and Jack Bostock while judgement day looms for Josh Addo-Carr. The Tip Sheet tries to power through the mountain of news and mail from the West this week before Sixties and Forty20 even take a look at the Rugby League World Cup.
I’m assuming that meant mean Jack Howarth ???
I’m assuming that’s meant to mean Jack Howarth ???
Parra have signed frank Howarth brother of jack and also signed a prop from Melbourne storms jersey flegg team , both players have signed for 2 years
Is that Floro? The 200 cm player? Seems like the Melb coach whose now with us has helped here…
Hey Sixties and Forty, before I sacrifice a walnut I’d need to check with the wife!
In all seriousness Best and Bostock would be amazing and I’d be keen on Blaize too.
Time will be telling here…
Morning Forty and Sixties, I am just re-listening from last night. Re: JAC the issue for me is the history and bad choices. I for one love him and see him on the field and his interactions with all. He’s great.
The issue as a club and club culture – that makes it a decision we need to cut ties. Very sad but he has made another bad choice.
I am also noting the players being linked to us – sounds good. Just need it to move into to contracts.
I am liking the younger signings too – if they are correct. We need some bigger bodies.
Hi Milo, firstly, you always have to check with the wife. Plus, let’s dare to dream.
Like you said, we need to convert discussions to contracts. And as for Foxxy, I’m so disappointed and hoping something can be worked out. But I understand why it might not be a good outcome.
I heard we might be getting Sloan? Anything on that Sixties?
I was sceptical about signing JAC but have absolutely loved having him in an eels jersey.
Unfortunately in terms of establishing a culture of accountability I don’t think the club can retain his services. The standards you walk past become the accepted standards for everyone including players and admin staff.
I’m no prude and do not harbour any ill feelings about the behaviour in itself but as a professional NRL player that’s what you sign up for.
