Are we missing a the bigger picture

As previously stated, Parra has been clearing the decks to make a play for Foran and a big name forward.The amount of money that will be available is enormous.Espeacially if we let go Sandow. With some front loading of contracts , I believe we might go after a pair of halves. As in Reynolds/Foran or a Hodgkinson/ Foran combo. A great kicking game to compliment a tough physical ball runner with a quality passing game. Both halves being standouts defensively .With all the halves on the market and sheer amount of cash the Eels have in reserve, this scenario seems a distinct possibility . With talented young outside backs coming through our juniors, complimented by a tough well balanced pack.Some quality halves to direct the ship. A premiership looms. It's very interesting indeed. Let's hope BA can get it done

  • sandow and foran can do the job
  • I think they will go after 1 or the other. I think they are looking more at a Foran Folau combo though
  • Sandow won't be re-signed. I've already wagered "@miatch" a $50 dollar bill that he won't.
    I wouldn't put $200 on but @miatch wouldn't have a bar of it.
    • I'm a man of my word.
      And Ron, if they'd pay on LU scoops, you'd be a billionairelby now. :-D
    • Lol Bert yea. You may as well send a cheque today old buddy.
  • I say lets keep sandow on a cut payment! gotta remember that after we have ryan Matterson and ZDC who I think could be  superstars in the next couple of years. Would be ashame to see that we have foran/sandow/norman/dce for the next 2-3years and then they leave to get another opportunity.

     

    I think we need IZZY at fullback or another superstar fullback. I watch the way matterson plays in toyaota cup very composed and skillfull very similar style to foran. Why pay overs for foran when we can create our own??

    in the past we go and buy some big cash half instead of investing in our own. we had hodkinson and Maloney but let em go. why would we do the same. these boys will leave!

  • but we are still going to be waitng 1 year for either players. Ryan matterson is 21 next year so by 2016 which is when we are wxpecting forad or DCE he will be 22 years old. To me if he isnt ready by then i dont know if he will ever be ready.

    • Daly Cherry Evans didn't make his debut until after his 22nd birthday, players take time. If they aren't willing to take the time to work on their craft in the reserve grade competitions until we believe that they are ready then we don't want them.

      Matto hopefully won't play any first grade next year, hopefully he gets some game time in 2016 (8-10 NRL games) and is ready for a starting position in 2017. If I were in charge that would be my succession plan for Matterson.

  • Foran and Sandow for sure

    you need a cool head and someone with a bit of X Factor - deadly combination 

    Norman can go back to fullback and Hoppa back to the centres 

  • 1. Norman

    2. Semi

    3. Hoppa

    4. Foloau

    5. Robinson

    6. Foran

    7. Sandow

    Thoughts???????
