News Franklin Pele & Andrew Davey - SIGNED

[DinkumDog]

Alamoti is miles off NRL footy while BBO is net negative at this stage. I'll poke my eyes out if Davey is starting backrow come round 1.

Largely agree - and, it doesn’t matter where he’s at career wise, the Captain won’t start from the bench.

You would think even Skelton is ahead if Alamoti at this stage.

TBH Baz completely fucked BBOs development, he should’ve been in the reserves as starting HB from day 1 and to a lesser extent Averillos as well who should’ve been trialed as a FB in 2021 and then given the 2022 preseason to develop.

Had that been the case BBO might’ve been ready to be a starting HB by now and Averillo would be a even more gun FB.

YES another Frank the Tank

Pritchard was an immense player for us tbh

Our most exciting edge backrow signing since the Tank for sure and ironically from the same club.

Got a feeling there will be a bunch of signing / re-signing news all at once. Ciraldo, Pele and Davey signed, Topine re-signed. Here’s hoping anyway.

Why would he need to move? A lot of our players live in the shire already?

I would choose Cooks river over Cronulla beach every day of the week

Frank the tank was an amazing player.

I loved F.T.T but he had flippers for hands...made the simple look difficult & the difficult look easy!!
Good times..

Im Sure Omar has a spare bedroom??

I think it's more a case of what side of the bed does Omar sleep on.

Petrol’s expensive

I guess my point was due to our great location very few Sydney based players would HAVE to move after signing with us

 

[Disposable Hero]

I like it, but he needs a new nickname. There is only one “Frank The Tank”!

Hmm you could creat a new thread for this its a great Idea. Ill start.
Spanky Franky?

If he doesn't go well, Frank the Crank

Is Waddell signed beyond this season? If not, Davey would be a good replacement and probably an improvement. Wads has had many high involvement games this season, but lacks ball-playing skills and is prone to having a few shocking games with errors.

Andrew Davey, almost 31 and played less than 30 NRL games and I pretty sure he signed a 2 year deal a month or so back to return to Parramatta for 2023 and 2024.

Always a Bulldog

Media got that wrong, they deleted all their articles. Maybe it was going to happen and either Davey or Eels changed their mind.

I think Davey will be alright my take is he is a(better) replacement for Stimson and that softie Doorey.
Initially was concerned about his age but he hasn't played a lot of footy only debuted at 28.Has had a knee reco though but otherwise he should have a couple of decent seasons in him given the late start.

A case of the clap, genital warts & bird flu is preferable to watching waddles go around for 1 more year in the blue V!!
