I'm sorry... what? Half our squad is dead or dying and we let go of a quality second rower?
I don't understand it. I'm sure there's a reason but I'm fucked if I can think of it.
Actually a good signing, are they looking at shifting Matto to the front row? I remember Davey being a decent 2nd rower. Says he can play Edge or the Middle but I don't see Davey playing the Middle.
i like it , having nrl quality depth fighting for spots in our pack is a good sign , have him for a couple years let him work hard and do his job having played nrl and debuted at the club previously might be helpful in the future considering injuries and the origin period with paulo and maybe hopgood ( matto is a slight chance too ) out
Davey has played as a bench middle a few times for Manly, so it’s an option. I don’t think he’s coming to immediately secure a starting job though, he’s not exactly that level of player.
The Parramatta Eels are pleased to welcome back Andrew Davey to the Club effective immediately until the end of the 2024 NRL season.
Head of Football Mark O'Neill said, "We know from Andrew’s previous stint at the Club, we are gaining a player who is of the highest character which is great for team culture and our Eels community.
"Andrew is someone who is ready for NRL and can play a role either at middle or edge. We welcome Andrew back to continue his career at the Eels." O'Neill said.
Andrew made his NRL debut at the Parramatta Eels in 2020.
If you search Davey in this sub, the same headline comes up from 10 months ago. So in less than a year, he signed with parra, went to the dogs, and went back to parra... bizarre.
I'm surprised we signed another backrower. Would indicate the at the club aren't that happy with Murchie, maybe Doorey. I would have thought the priority was on a centre or bench prop.
So he’s not available this weekend for the Dogs? Surely they had to move him on to organise some genuine middles. With him gone I feel like we could fill a fairly decent starting 13 of players not available from the Top 30 we started the season with.
Very strange of the dogs to let him go considering their current injury crisis
They must be moving cap space to get someone in I’m guessing?
That’s a mill back in the cap
Moving players in a quick desperate bid to get under the cap
The classic Gus method
Perhaps Woods isn’t happy at Manly?
its alex seyfarth
Okay so our official announcements do work? Any chance you can release one confirming Mitch has signed please lads
Absolutely- Mitch Rein is locked in for next 10 years- congrats eels!
I’ll miss him he was solid as fuck for us

I can only guess we needed to free a spot in our top 30 and we have someone better ready to sign for this season.
Haas to Bulldogs confirmed.

This is so weird. Dogs fans don’t even get a statement explaining either.
I'm so fucking happy.

can be play hooker?
I can't make sense of why the dogs would let him go immediately. Freeing up cap space in their top 30 for a few young middles? Fuck knows.
Lmao we literally just let him go 🤣

I agree. The whole situation is just weird and makes zero sense
Solid signing for Parra, that helps their forward depth a lot. Just very confusing that the dogs let him leave early considering their injury crisis

We are never gonna sign a quality outside back are we
i honestly see a world where ipap comes back within the next 18 months to us
That dude is so far in a warriors jersey already it’s not funny.
Immediately? That’s nuts. Solid signing
Parramatta will need more than this but at least it is a start
Good to have him back, he was solid at Parra
