The decision not to keep kingston was made by the coach. He also said mortimer is our future, If so we are in for a frustrating future. The kid is a dud and does not know how to be a first grade halfback. Our best options are Kris keating at half and Mateo at 6 but again the coach says mateo is not good enough. Jarryd hayne is a support player not a ball player same with mortimer.
Have the balls to admit your wrong coach and play Keating and mateo as our haves before its too late.
All our creative players will be gone next year, Where are th eels headed ?

here we go AGAIN for the slow people:
we tried to keep kingston!! The eels wanted him, he wanted to stay. 6 of our players we willing to take paycuts to keep him at the club, but the NRL would not allow them to do so. It had nothing to do with the coach!!!
Mateo is not worth $400k - he never has and never will be. The Warriors need to pay that much to get people to go there. He is not a 5/8th - his fitness levels are no existant this year, and he struggles under the pressure of leading a team around the park.
Jarryd Hayne absolutely is a ball player. He is a better ball player than a support player and thats our problem! The halves have no direction so everyone is simply throwing it to Hayne, and thats not his role!
The only signing/resigning mistake Ando has made is paying overs for Mortimer. I would have been happy to keep him for $150-$180k, but not $250k as he's shown he isnt up to it yet.
KK/Mateo halves pairing will be no more fruitful than what we have now. And they are both leaving at the end of the season. Stick with Morts/KK or Morts/Humble as much as Morts is playing badly, he obviously is who the coach wants so we need to persist til he hits his straps
Jarryd Hayne is a ball player, a support player and everything else in 1. We saw that last year. However you can't expect him to do everything all the time because if he was that good and consistent, he would be worth $1 million a year.
But as soon as there is a loss, the members of the doomsday clan come out of the woodwork, and bleat their little weak hearts out.
Sack the coach, sack the players, sack the club administration, sack the refs, sack the ballboys, sack the gate attendants, sack the groundkeepers!. Fair enough be upset when the team loses, I am, but for christ sake wake up to yourselves. You don't make it any easier to get over a loss, with the constant whinging.
Look at the positives from yesterday, good crowd, awesome minute silence, NYC winning, with some great individual performances, good promotion of the Women in League, and if you can't find a positve out of the first grade game, have a look at the defence, yes, while attack is not quite there, the defence was a massive positive, the boys were constantly turning up for each other, something that was missing at the start of the year.
I will admit I am disgusted that we let Mateo go though you have to take the good with the bad with this guy he is that sort of player who can turn a game around and is a proven match winner!!!!!
