Reni Maitua to replace Mateo

Posted by Jarrod on August 18, 2010 at 5:34am

Maitua is now favoured to join Parramatta, whose board on Monday night unanimously gave Eels CEO Paul Osborne its blessing to make an offer.

Three other clubs have also expressed interest, but the Eels are keen to fill New Zealand-bound Feleti Mateo's No. 13 jersey.

    I wouldn't say no to Reni coming in.
    He seems to be committed to getting his career back on track, and he can add a bit of vigour to our pack to go with that of Fui's.
    Let's get it done!!

    would this come from the money we were going to throw at cooper? Maitua woud be a good pickup if he can stay out of trouble.

    I have no doubt that Horo will be retained.
    He's been great for us this year and I'm sure the board have seen that and will offer him a contract soon.

    Yeah Sign Horo & mitchell First then sign cooper then maitua!

    Would be a great replacement. I think realistic signings like reni should be our focus rather than quade, as much as we would all love him at the club

    I m starting to have a huge dislike for ozzie. Can we lock up some of our juniors, I mean Horo is being chased by other clubs now and mitchell looks the goods at hooker but we keep chasing the big fish and havent hooked any yet.

    As I posted earlier in the week, Anthony told me on Friday night he is with the club next year.

    yay another guy who hasnt played nrl for a while like tahu
  • EELS4lyf August 18, 2010 at 5:09pm
    why would we want him? sure his a good player but is it worth the risk? i mean we have tee mari and he hasnt been painted as a good guy either. personally i would re-sign horo and mitchell, plus table an offer to Cronk. no point in splashing big money at Qaude Cooper whoes never played NRL leverl before. We need a decent half, and i hope we get him in Cronk.

    Cronk #7 Mortimer #6 nxt season

"The chances of him being our 6 next year are very low, if he was a serious consideration he would be playing 6 now with dylan at centre. I'll be very surprised if he is our starting 6 next season unless he gets a lot more time there this season. "

Joeyboyz replied to Hector's discussion Young Joash papa extends
"I think Joash is a good player, but from what I've seen only at fullback or on the wing. Those positions we've got pretty well covered, so I guess he's a great back up option. I'd like to see him in 1st grade, but I dont know how he fits in?"
