Im getting really tired of this trouble making blabber mouth Paul Kent and Bernie Gurr and the officials at the Eels need to shut this bloke up. All Paul Kent is doing is causing trouble and stirring the pot to make a story out of nothing in his personal attempt to discredit the Eels who he hates with a passion. This is another example of Kents trouble making journalist crap!April 30, 2019 12:48pmFOX SPORTSPaul Kent: The move that shows Parramatta Eels are ‘panicking’ over contract messThe Eels made moves to secure Mitchell Moses’ future after he starred against the Tigers in Round 6. Paul Kent says there are signs the Parramatta Eels are beginning to panic over the contract negotiations involving its star players.Eight of the 17 players - including star halfback Mitchell Moses - that took the field against the Knights are without deals for 2020.Arthur himself also isn’t signed on beyond this year.Now there are reports the Manly Sea Eagles are set to table an offer for Clint Gutherson after the Eels captain rejected the latest contract offer.Speaking on NRL360, Kent said Eels fans had a right to be worried.Live stream the 2019 NRL Telstra Premiership on KAYO SPORTS.

We have freedom of the press in this country Monto, he can write anything his editor is willing to publish. Best to just ignore him.
What would you have Bernie do ?
You're giving him exactly what he wants.
We could start a social media blitz with an article on all the journos who are off-contract at the end of the year.
We could have weekly updates on the status and speculate why they haven't been signed. Doesn't matter if it's not factual as long use "alleged" in the story
And who would care ?
It surely wouldnt hurt the Eels fans, the Eels players and club in general if Bernie Gurr or someone in authority within the Eels camp to ensure that Paul Kent keeps his mouth shut unless he gets his facts correct and stop using fabricated inuendoes to make a dollar to sell his crappy stories. Its a known fact Paul Kent hates Parramatta Eels and he does everything possible to damge them anyway possible. The sooner someone shuts this big mouth dribbler the better! Why, even when the Eels are doing something credible Kents agenda is to spoil the party.
And what would you have the club do ?
Even this blog just gives him oxygen. Ignoring him is the best course of action.
On talking sport today Peter tunks said gutherson is a good first grader and not a rep player. He said he has his head in the clouds if he thinks he is worth 700+ a season.
Peter Tunks opinion is irrelevant
We are starting to panic because i think Bronco lost there 5/8 to the warriors and they think broncos come after Moses
Don't worry about Paul Kent. The Board are playing it cool. We have soome tough games coming up and the outcomes will determine the future of B>A. and the value of the players of contract. I read the asking figure was $800.000 for Clint Guthbersen.and Mitchel Moses. For that kind of money, they will be easy to replace. The money has to be spread around amongst 18 players of contract,and they don't want to play for peanuts.
