  Gained Good experience in the halves with Casey Mguire something we have been missing for a few years, We lost nothing in Mateo and Inu very lazy (waste of space and money) lost good go forward with Eric Grothe hopefully some of the other big boys will fill this void.

  sorry 'mistake'

  i agree he can be frustrating, but i believe that with kearney's guidance he would have been top shelf. I also agree we have to move on without him, but I think losing him will bite us at some stage!!!

  I agree that Mateo probably would have performed closer to his immense potential under SK, however it needs to be remembered that it was made clear to Mateo that he was not part of DA's plans and so found another club before it was made clear to DA that he wasn't part of the club's plans.

   

  Shocking mismanagement on behalf of the club...

  agree with bourban man, clubs fault.

  sk would have kept him for sure

  Agree Millsy. We have also gained very experienced players that have played at the top level to help our juniors as well as be great backups if required. I can see our junior up and comers benefit from this immensely

  I think the eels have gained the wooden spoon and lost a champion in mateo.

  TrueEelsFan, how can you brand Carl Webb and Reni Maitua a McDonalds regular and drug cheat - permanently like that ?  How can you  be so unforgiving to Maitua for 1 mistake, albeit a big one at that ? And how can you be so ignorant to the fact that both Carl and Reni have been training the house down to ressurect their careers ?

  Reni was in Thailand for months firstly training with Thai kickboxers and personal trainers, and then with actual commandos over there in the sauna like coditions in the Thai jungle. I also remember reading some months back that he had already contracted the same proffessional fitness group over in Bondi Junction which helped get Anthony Minnichelo back to fitness after his very long stint out of footy when he had those serious back injuries to also help him get even fitter if that`s possible.Because he isn`t allowed to train with any NRL trainers until May I believe.

  People have been saying both Carl and Reni are looking super fit.  You are gonna have so much egg on your face TrueEelsFan, just you wait and see mate.

    Well said. Maitua has paid his dues on the sideline- what will it say about our great game if we taint players forever? He got a massive penalty which he deserved, and if he had any dignity, he'd take it upon himself to climb back up again, after finally finishing his stint.... Webb: getting away from the cowboys may reinvigorate him, I'm hoping so for his but more importantly, for the eels' sake!
