Parramatta enforcer Beau Scott is the latest Eel reported to be looking for a new home in season 2016. With less than a month left until the June 30 transfer deadline, Scott joins fellow new recruit Michael Gordon and star playmaker Corey Norman as Eels on the chopping block as the embattled club seeks to rectify their salary cap issues beyond this season. This follows from the departure of Nathan Peats to the Titans and Junior Paulo to the Raiders over the past fortnight.
Despite missing State of Origin selection, Scott has been in damaging form for the Eels. But there are reports the new management see a problem not with his personal form, but rather, his name.
“You just can’t trust a bloke like that” said one key official, who did not want to be identified. “You know, with his two first names and that. Is he Beau, or is he Scott? Pick one or the other, I say. It's just very difficult. I can’t imagine how the blokes around him must feel”.
Documents leaked during the NRL Integrity Unit’s raids of Eels headquarters have revealed that there were a number of Eels stakeholders against the signings of both Scott and Gordon for the 2016 season, some of whom remain in positions within the Eels ranks.
It is believed these same stakeholders were also against the signing of Corey Norman, and have been working to offload him since he came to the Eels at the beginning of the 2014 season. Insiders claim there was recently a dispute between board members regarding an address book that was found on site, which contained contact numbers of several of Sydney’s high-profile drug dealers, as well as a member of Star City security.
“It's the same story” said one source within the club. “Corey or Norman? Fullback or five-eighth? Footballer or drug dealer? You've got to admit, it's a bit suspicious. The bloke has been untrustworthy since he arrived, and that has left a bit of a stench around the joint. Then we go and sign blokes like Michael Gordon and Scott…Scott...Beau…oh see there it is again, perfect example of how it just doesn’t work. Not at our club. We need to ditch the lot of them.”
Former Eels great Brett Kenny has come out in support of the trio, and has approached the Rugby League Players’ Association on their behalf.
