ONCE AGAIN WE NEED A HALFBACK,, DROP AND GET RIDE OF BURT,ROBSON AND WRIGHT

Look to all you parra fans after the last couple of games, you will be kidding me if you say we dont need a halfback for next year, look you might say its to early but im sure our season is over after tonight, robson should be nothing more than a back up and a wenty player, we need a halfback and lets forget about cronk if we cant get him because we need to spend not just on a halfback but on a decent centre to. Maybe both oford and fergson or nightgale and bring up Loko.sorry guys burt days are over to and ask sinbad about that. Everyone talking about a hooker but i reckon humble very good and maybe mitchell can back him up on the bench

this is so everyone can see what i reckon;

1.Hayne

2.Reddy

3.Fergson

4.Tahu

5.Loko

6.Mortimor

7.Cronk/Oford

8.Manah

9.humble

10.Poore

11.Hindmarsh

12.B.Smith

13.Shackelton

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

14.Mitchell

15.Moi Moi

16.Horo

17.Pat O'Halan

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

18.Burt

19.Robson

20.Tee mari

21.Sio

22.Oake

23.Allgood

24.Manakafoua

25.Peletease

that the only way we stand a chance guys

Yes really our recruitment and retention has not been thought out in a methodical or logical manner. Hind-sight is wonderful though. Morts really did seem like keeping after last season, we signed Poore at a time when our forwards were shit and he was SOO last year, Shacks couldnt be helped, for my money Tahu we payed overs for, but still we expected more....250k [mortimer] + 350k [poore] + 300k [tahu], thats a lot of coin to be playing the way they are. Mateo's retention was never gonna happen after Warriors threw 400k at him. the big loss IMO is KK, what they couldnt throw another 50k at him? and Kingston . Yet the most ridiculous decision of all was to let go of mateo inu kk to free up cash in blind faith over the "possible" signing of Cronk? thats just really really dum DUMB.

"I don't think Cleary is really that interested in playing Origin, the biggest incentive for him is the extra $$$ and a bit more fame if he's able to produce the goods which he hasn't. He's also obviously playing injured. The State of Origin as a…"

Have to disagree! MK offers very little, (compare with Kevin Kingston for eg). Mortimer offers us nothing, Robson is better at least some of his kicks put some minimal pressure on opposition. It is no secret that the Eels have not won a title since the great half Peter Sterling was at the helm. We NEED a TOP half to have a better than even shot at the title. Orford awful! Kimmorley too old and predictable but has been a champion player. We need CRONK, We need CRONK, We need CRONK that is the mantra the management need to meditate on!

agree.

Look back to when Brad Drew and Kevin Kingston were taking us forward with telling dummy-half running; and mostly straight up; not side ways! Horo, Moimoi, Manah, Hindmarsh, and Feleti- good performance. Hayne; Always trying but he is only 1 amongst others in the blue n gold. When the Titans were attacking and coming up with tries; our boys were not looking to mark, fall on or attempt with vigor to secure the ball. not good; not good at all. I wonder what the coach said at halftime and if anyone was listening!! whats going on guys.............we can still do it. We could have lost TRYING at least to look like a cohesive team tonite!!!

ye mate Mortimer at number 8 makes alot of sense :) :).....Why oh why was Robson and Keating re-signed before Kingston? ando really has to cop some flack for this season.....Paying overs for Tahu and Mortimer, Poore dissapointing......Its as much the way Ando positions players though. why wasnt Kris Keating given a fair go at half-back? Why has Mateo never been given a go at 6? or Mortimer at hooker? whats with the ridiculous blind faith in Mortimer and Matt Keating? stubbron and ludicrous....why hasnt Humble seen more 1st grade? Last i remember, he was playing quite well.

Grothe will be lucky to be offered a second Tier contract if he stays.
B. Oake has had 5 plus seasons to stake his claim and hasn't. GONE
J. Wright will not even be offered a contract. (not even worth the effort to explain)
N. Cayless Retiring
F.mateo (Auckland) Why Why Why ?
K.Inu (Auckland)
M.Keating (Assholes) Why Why ?
