Eels to make major announcement at Fan Day

Let's play guess the announcement. Eels media release that just landed in my inbox.

The Pirtek Parramatta Eels Fan Day will be held this Sunday, February 28 in the heart of Parramatta, in Church Street Mall outside the Parramatta Town Hall, from 1.00pm to 3.00pm.

The Eels will be making a major announcement, involving CEO Paul Osborne, captain Nathan Cayless and club stalwart Nathan Hindmarsh, at 1.30pm on the main stage.

Celebrity guest Danny Green, a special performance by an Australian Idol and the entire Pirtek Parramatta Eels squad will make it a day not to miss.

For the kids there will be face painting, rides, clowns and a sausage sizzle, while the bigger kids will be entertained with a performance by last year’s Australia Idol contestant Nathan Brake, and an appearance by celebrity Eels’ fans including boxer Danny Green, Australian cricketer Nathan Bracken, Commonwealth Games gold medalist John Steffensen, world champion athlete Dani Samuels, and a message from a special guest via satellite.

The entire NRL squad will take part in a huge signing session, with selected players available to the media.

"I hope we get him we need so bad not funny Dylan just killing us and we need more good signing with him now like a centre 2 front rowers because i think paulo retire at years end"

any guesses as to who the special guest is ?

Simon Baker or Nathan Bracken?? Both mentioned on the landing page at parraeels.com.au atm...

Couple of re-signings perhaps?

I'm betting Simon Baker...

I'm pretty cut they didn't ask me to be one of the celebrities :-)

I don't think it will be a signing given Cayless and Hindmarsh will be on stage. I'm tipping that Pirtek is going to extend their contract.

Ozzy's announcing 1Eyed Eel to become the official Fan Club of the Parramatta Eels. 1 x signage board in each Stand will be made available to display the web address "www.1eyedeel.com". Well done Phil and associated swarm! I'll pat myself on the back for helping broker the deal! Sorry to spoil the surprise everyone! =)

Cayless announces that this season will be his last?
Normo February 26, 2010 at 8:22pm

If Cayless anounces this season is his last I hope Hindy is only up on stage to take over the mantle as captain. Not to anounce the same thing.
Not saying Cayless is not as important but I think we would struggle a bit losing both players with that much experiece in the same year.
Brent Marando February 26, 2010 at 8:53pm

Hindy still has another year left on his contract so it can't be that. If Caylo retiring is the case, God I hope they can send him off with premiership...

They are going to announce that the NRL has been a fix from day one, and that they have been assured that 2010 is Parramatta's year to win the comp.

Special guest will be David Gallop to confirm such rumour. Hindmarsh and Cayless are both on stage to rehearse lifting the trophy. A job that they will perform on the first Sunday in October.
