Robson stays, Kingston gone

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on October 9, 2009 at 12:39am

Jeff Robson has agreed to a new two-year deal, but Kevin Kingston will be headed to the Panthers, according to the Daily Telegraph. "I'm rapt we were able to sign Jeff for two years, but upset at the same time our talks with Kevin ended up being a lost cause," Eels CEO Paul Osborne said. Panthers will look to Kingston to replace Paul Aiton, who departed for the Sharks and the club said they are hoping to finalise a deal with the rake in the coming days. Robson's deal is the first multi-year deal he has ever signed. FULL STORY HERE: http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/sport/nrl/story/0,26746,26185097-5003409,00.html

Good luck to KK! Hope he continues to play well next season - just not too well against us :-)

Now, can all you MK bashers please shut the hell up! Whether or not you think Kingston's better (which he's not) is now irrelevant!

Somehow we need to keep Kingston. We must secretly plot something. Maybe get Grothe to cut down his wages and we pay Grothe under the table by going to his gigs or something. There's still hope! COME ON GUYS! We can't just let this type of talent go. Besides, once he goes to the Panthers, it will be hard to lure him back!

:-) and :-( all at the same time!

I am so pleased that Kinga has found a new home, because he deserves it after the wonderful season he has had. I will miss him tremendously though, but am sure Matt Damon is well up to the job! He really was one of our unsung heroes this year.

I am also so pleased for Robbo. He finally has a home! :-)
