sshhh.... man don't say things like that.
Can't wait to see what some people on here are going to do each week then. Players in this game have the same chance of getting injured as they would in the normal comp
Agree imagine he got injured and was out for 8 weeks, would eels fans like this game as much.
But it gives those players who wouldn't normally play representative football a chance to showcase their skills. On the Hayne getting injured topic he hasn't even been selected yet and was only selected in 2009. The NFL has a similar game called the Pro Bowl and it's used a lot to judge the class and skill of players. And to think our risk of injury is too close to the season, theres is played 1 week before the Super Bowl with often the majority of players being picked playing in the Super Bowl the following week. I'm a fan of this concept and it shows just how much impact the Indigenous players have in the NFL.
180k is all South's offered Sandow no other team even had a bid, everyone thinks we signed him for 550k? i think he didn't feel appreciated at South and came to us for better money and a new opportunity!
Souths: 2008 to 2011 no rep honours
Eels: 4 weeks All-Star Halfback,
that makes me smile!
No one knows how much Souths offered him, he says he came to Parra 'cause his Mum told him to
