  Can you explain in more detail who Matt Dooney is and where hes from and some confirmation that the Eels are signing him. Ive never heard of him or the Fogs.

    Doorey was an Eels junior that was pinched by the Dogs, hardly a surpise we were happy to let him go only to chase him down the track and probably pay him a lot more than what it would of cost to keep him in the first place.  Classic Parra and Bea Arthur move.

      I think the same Alan, my query would be why chase him? I did not think we were short in backrowers......? And surely Doorey knows he has a starting spot at C'bury.  He was a bloody good junior from memory.

        We have signed Hipgrave,Papaliiiiiii and that imbecile Cartwright.  Not sure where Doorey fits in???  Are we chasing him for 2022 maybe??? He's always had wraps on him coming through.

          No idea, and I can only assume if this is true he would not be arriving to play C Cup. Unless Carty is not signed or he plays elsewhere?

          Phil and Matt Adamson may also come back to parra.....!

            Bea is probably trying to line the Adamson boys up for 3 year deals.

              Look the kid is good but again if true it poses the question, why did we let him go? MOney?? and where does he play?? 

              I always thought Matt Adamson had good mongrel but Phil was a bit soft but v talented. A waste of talent....like Glen Liddiard!

                He's still on a development contract so he hardly left for more money.  His management probably told him how poorly juniors get a chance under Bea Arthur. At least until they do a 2 or 3 year apprenticeship of 10 mins a game.  Just ask Kaufusi.

                    Mahoney only got a run once we had no one else, he had plodders like King and Prichard ahead of him and only got a run once there was no one else.   Brown is a special talent but he only got a run once he realised one of Norman or Moses had to go.  And Nikore barely got a decent run until this year, i remember him most of 2018 barely getting 5 min stints.     Kaufusi was massively underused and it was a joke he wasn't on the bench come finals time.

                    Ask them what they think of Bushy and his junior development, he's always willing to give ready made old farts a go over young talent.
