young and something to proof, for me this type of player suits our club more than players coming over for the their last pay day

To be honest I think we’re getting a lot more value for money from this crop than from most of the quota players we have had since 2017. Great change of policy IMO

Why is this the only type of player we can get when from next year we are supposedly going to be using Jepsons investment money to allow us to spend up to the SC again?
Likes of Salford who are working off a SC similar to ours at present bring in quality additions so why can't we?

Either we don’t want to or rather try for second graders from oz.
Not saying there arnt some good second graders, but I think signing a 25yr old who plays in the NRL is pie in the sky, imo.

Maybe so but look at the quality centres Salford have brought in over the past few seasons and again recruiting Masters for next year to bolster their options even further.

Masters started this season well but was utter rubbish last year, often not getting picked. Many on here would have been whinging if we’d signed him then.

Likewise when Salford signed Tom Lafai he was without a club and was bricklaying for a living. And Nene MacDonald had walked out of Leeds mid-season leaving them in the lurch. Could you imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth if we’d signed either of them at that stage?

If this is our man so be it. Providing the deal is right let’s see what he can offer before writing him off.

Looks big, fast and strong, if his D is as good as his running game this guy could be a really useful pick up in all fairness.....

Eels have just announced that Ryan Matterson can leave, he might be a useful buy, strong second rower and good hands. name sounds familiar, believe he is related to Terry.

Reportedly $600,000 until the end of 2026. Or £310,000 in our money

One position we don’t need desperate for a prop and centre

Reason I mention Matterson is when I listen to the experts on NRL360, they say that he is on inflated wages that the Eels cannot afford and no where in Oz will he get the same money. just thought it might be an opportunity bearing in mind the family contact with the club.
