Eels not interested in Souths Discards

It has been reported that Osborne was not interested in Souths players. I was just having lunch in the Leagues club when the entire coaching staff entered. I went over and said hello (Kearney was not with them at this stage) and then i asked whether they were interested in the souths players. They all shook their heads. One (it was either Sharp or Cameron) then said "If they were any good would Souths let them go?"I the asked the rhetorical question "you're happy with the current squad then?". Of course they nodded.Obviously they would not be telling a complete stranger about any signings but they did seem quite adament about having no interest in those Souths players.

  • good, ingliss is a dummy, sandow is a sook, champion hes alright but not as good as yas r all making him out to be

  • is it not amazing how many one eyed eel supporters , know the cleaner at the leagues club,or members of the board, or in this case a guy having dinner lunch at the leagues club,and talked to the coaching staff.

    i ask what would they say,we want to sign inglis ect, its a line most would use..

    and if they dont support the current roster ,would sk like it ,no.

    with 1m plus on our cap, sk will wait to get who he wants,its a waiting game,

    if i was sk,i would  want cooper,or cronk, that will be maybe for 2012 not before..

  • Isn't it amazing how people like Robbie Maxwell want to disrespect the posts of others? Hey Robbie, I guess I'll just get your permission next time I post something - how does that sound? Or maybe you could try reading the blog and how it says that I was a complete stranger to them and it would be unlikely that they would tell me about signings. So I'll apologise to you for introducing myself to the coaching staff at the club. I'm truly sorry for asking them about potential signings. And I am oh so sorry for having the audacity to share their response with the people on this site. I guess some people like me just shouldn't be supporters who are passionate enough to speak to the people in charge of our club.

  • thank you for your passion mate ,its been that kind of year i guess when so many had thurston , cronk, cooper inglis, matt king, tonga, watt,is there more the list would fill all the blogs, and who have we got/? walker who's been in 7 clubs, carl webb, who may be ok,time will tell, and now maybe the best signing chris hicks,at least hes in form in england scoring 3 trys in hes last game,  and atkins, no world beater.

    but on saying that sk may be our best signing, look fella, you can say what you want as far as i am concerned.

    sinbad was way off the mark with hes record blog on one eyed eel.

    tonys off the mark also seeing hes mr one eyed eel...the list is long..but its interesting.

    if you want to be a star on one eyed eel, go to bootcamp and ask hindy and find out who parras after with there spare 1m.

    on the cap,hes a big fish not yet hooked..

    but it will come mate..no doubt, look we are all parra supporters, get more info and let us all know who's the big fish sk wants bad.

    it seems mate the car park is a good place to meet players,or ask the cleaner at parra leagues who's in the know i can say that.

    merry christmas / happy parra new year to all, when you ask santa fella what your gifts should be,ask for a eels grandfinal 2011,maybe we will get a bit of the $26 ..on super tab..

     

     

     

     

  • what do people mean "saving the 1 million to use in 2012"? we cannot roll this money over and add it to the 2012 cap, dont we all realise this? so i dont see why people r saying this is a strategy...we may as well use as much of it now as we can....yeah ok, if we tie it all up now in long-term contracts [non 1 year] contracts, then yes, the 2012 cap then becomes affected...but if players like Champion are available , then why not? We have signed a host of 1 year players, and with a salary cap next year 2012 already way under, we may have around 2 million to play with come 2012.

  • Hey , thanks for reporting this.

    And i also second the coaching staff , i have faith in them and i also tend to agree, let's not make 'rash' decisions on recruitment just because we have some money left over.

    btw i don't think 'Osborne is not interested' , Kearney also has a say on this and it looks like he isn't interested in them either.

  • supertab ..... well I did read in today's paper that an unknown punter put $2,000 on parra to win the Grand Final .... if we do the odds at the moment stand to pick the punter up a cool $52,000.

     

    Personally I don't have a "lazy" $2k .... even $20 in my account is not lazy!
