No decision on Humble for 2012

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on July 26, 2011 at 3:22pm

Parramatta is negotiating with Eel's half/utility Tom Humble but no decision has been made yet as to whether he is in the Eel's plans going forward.

Eels CEO Paul Osborne told 1Eyed Eel Fanlink that "no final decision has been made on a few or our 2011 players, Tom included".

"He obviously had a tough start to the year with his supplement issue but he is a good kid and has been playing pretty well in the games I have seen," Osborne said.

Meanwhile, things look more promising for Etu Uaisele, with Osborne telling Fanlink on the weekend that "Etu has been playing really well and we are hoping he will be with us in 2012".

"He has really improved under Steve's coaching," he said.

I hope we keep Tom but I won't be surprised at all if we lose him.

Etu has done well for us this season, will be pretty handy for back up.

I love Tom but if he stays with Parra he will prob be stuck at Wenty......I feel he will leave, he's potentially going to be a killer 5/8......quite possibly end up next to Thurston at the Cowboys.......

I wish him all the best.....just please not at the Dogs.....

IMO if they haven't used Tom to his potential yet they never will!

He will be another player that leaves us and returns to haunt us wearing Brisbane colours or those of another team.Tom Humble is a star of the future and I cannot believe that we have not tapped this potential.

Good luck in the Future Tom, dont haunt us too hard.

"Did you watch him play in this years final for Souths? He was owned by old man Gagai. Laurel went missing all game although he did pass the ball from dummy half a lot to the other outside backs to work it out of their end. Massive NO."
