Why eels must sign Daniel Tupou or Chad Townsend

Posted by Trent Lethorn on May 13, 2015 at 7:53am
We already know that we have beau Scott & Kieran Foran for next year and I think that we only need one more signing and it should not be Michael Gordon it should be either Daniel Tupou or Chad Townsend. Michael Gordon is 30 and we need youth at the back Robinson Radradra Folau Takairangi & hopoate is youth but Michael Gordon at fullback will be a bad move he has lost his pace & Corey Norman is fullback full stop. Chad Townsend should join Kieran Foran in the halves for next year if we fail with TupouAnd who else believes in this team for next year1. C.Norman2. S.Radradra3. J.Folau4.W.Hopoate5.R.Robinson6.K.Foran7.C.Townsend8.D.Wicks9.N.Peats10.Ju.Paulo11.B.Scott12.M.Ma'u13.A.Watmough14.P.Pauli15.T.Moeroa16.K.Edwards17.D.GowerAnd if we score Tupou goes right wing Robinson goes fullback & Norman goes halfback

    Corey Norman is not a fullback, sure he can attack, great ball runner but his defence isn't up to scratch

    I would rather:
    1. Gordon
    6. Norman
    7. Foran

    OR

    1. Johnston
    6. Norman
    7. Foran

      Johnston has resigned with Souths, 2 more years

    Townsend is going to the sharks apparently. I reckon Gordon would be a better value pick up than tupou. Gordon can play fullback, what we need, and he's a handy goal kicker. The best thing about him is he probably would only want to sign for 1 and a half years. This would be a perfect time to bring up one of our younger players. And say we do bring up French in 2016 we can slot Gordon on the wing. I also reckon that tupou would want twice the money and double the contract length of Gordon.

    I think signing scott foran and watmough,three current rep players will give us pulling power in securing the players we need.BA can be criticized for his coaching but as far as getting the players to make up a good team he's doing a great job.keep em coming.

    We ABSOLUTELY need a quality fullback or half back. Not sure if Folau is the answer at centre.

    Simon Townsend, welcome to my blunder world. No he is up there with the worst players in the comp (think Tyrone Roberts, Sandow, others). No thanks.
  • AlexEel May 13, 2015 at 8:48am
    I agree i reckon we should go hard after these two blokes if well be wanna be finals contenders. Townsend is a solid half and tupou is a brilliant finisher

    Wasn't simon Townsend host of battle of the sexes or something. No idea how he plays but he'd close to 50. Chad Townsend however would be a great buy.
