Russell Packer

[KNUCKLES]

Would be a good signing at the right price don't you think? Would come cheap I reckon he isn't getting any game time and would be what we need coming off the bench when Marty n Addin have a spell. Would provide some mongrel

 

[Budgie]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

I remember when this guy purposefully pissed his pants on field.. what a massive grub! Then blokes had to tackle him. Yeah nah from me

 

[globaleagle]

I thought he wasn't getting game time because he had surgery and then first game back got suspended?

Plus he's playing this weekend.

 

[40 years an eagle]

He is no better than what we already have on less money.

 

[The better Robbo]

When we have Sipley not getting a run I don't see any sense in buying a prop. We have bigger issues in our roster than props. A half and a big tall fast winger for starters

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

At a time when we’re struggling a bit, an option like Fudge might seem like a good idea. He must come cheap right?

However when we have one player going through the judicial system on very serious charges;
A star player (currently injured) who has had a few issues; and
Another suspended because he can’t control his mouth, we don’t need another problem child.

After awhile it starts to impact on the club’s reputation and attractiveness (to sponsorship deals).

He was close to medical retirement earlier this year apparently, so you have to wonder whether he will go on beyond this year.

Turned his life around, which is no small feat as he was a thug/grub. For that he should be commended.

No

Looks like no fence sitting with that opinion .

We are good for props. Don’t need to turn off sponsors any more than we already do.

Sipley very similar type player, would like to see Sip given another go as never seen him let us down and in fact, adds legitimate mongrel without the dirt....there's a difference between an intimidating player and a thug....Packer is Thug category

 

[KNUCKLES]

Fair enough. Although I think people may be forgetting that our pack loses go forward when afb and Taupau go off. Even at full strength. I don't think our rotation props are all that tbh.. Paseka, Keppie, Boyle, Sipley. Also add no fear factor.Just my opinion but

 

[Stevo]

Zero tackle Props off contract.

Players i would look at before Pissedmepants Packer in Bold. But it think you're right. We're missing experience and Mongrel on the bench.

Tom Amone, Oliver Clark, JJ Collins, Kurt Dillon, Matthew Eisenhuth, Kane Evans, Jackson Frei, David Gower, James Graham, Keegan Hipgrave, Royce Hunt, Ryan James, Rhys Kennedy, Josh King, Kayleb Milne, Francis Molo, Isaiah Papali'i, Aaron Pene, Emry Pere, Leivaha Pulu, Ky Rodwell, Jacob Saifiti, Darryn Schonig, James Tamou, Peni Terepo, Aiden Tolman, Christian Welch

 

[KNUCKLES]

I wonder what happened to sitaleki akauola. I always rated that guy. Fearless

 

[KNUCKLES]

I wonder if he wants to be an eagle lol
I would take this guy in a heartbeat! Don't know why he went to ESL

Agree Sipley ahead of a few guys in the 17 in my opinion

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Nope. Need to use all of what we've got.
