I can totally understand why players today move for $$. Players only have a short time in the game and they should make as much money as possible. I personally know 3 1st grade players forced into early retirement. Kaysa Pritchard retired due to
In hinesight of recent players leaving our club, I'm actually happy with the eels recriutment, Not letting players or player manager,s hold the club to ransom. We as a club don't pay overs anymore, we have been there and done that and it did not work
Available hookers could be lucky rake for Parra DAVID RICCIO API Koroisau, Reece Robson and Jacob Liddle have all been pitched to the Eels in the wake of the crushing departure of Reed Mahoney to the Bulldogs.
Yet, no media beat up. The journos love stories about the eels because it sells them papers. Panthers have lost 5 players from this years gf squad (kikau leaving 23) but nothing is being said about them.
A lot of people here are thinking to the future and speculating on who we might/should sign which started me thinking. Are we about to suffer a double blow from these players signing elsewhere?
If I'm a player considering joining the Eels, I'm now thi
After the loss of nicho hynes, nsw forward dale finucane, losing there qld 2nd rower felise kafusi and the all but certain loss of new zealand future captain brandon smith. The melbourne recruitment and retention committie must explain to fans whats
According to Paul Crawley the relationship between BA and Mahoney Strained a bit leading up to the Hooker signing a 4 year deal with Canterbury, now we will never know and read into as you will. Also, Ray Price went off head, since when does he not d
When we hit rock bottom last year BA was gone for all money...... I think we can all agree on that. I was a long term BA supporter but I had turned against him because of what I saw as flagrant nepotism to Jake. I started off thinking he was an ok fi
So thought of something, this is fantasy and for pure discussion purposes, let's say a player who has signed elsewhere (Reed for argument sakes) their deal did not go through, leaving us able to re-sign them obviously Parramatta would low ball them a
Brad Arthur deserves to be right royally pissed off with the way all this has played out. Between the players showing him no loyalty and the club having no idea how to negotiate a new deal, Arthur has been sold short. Despite the criticism he receive
Do not normally like listening to Denan Kemp, though he talks quite responsibly and he is right in the feelings of Eels fans at the moment. I mean it has yet to be announced by Parramatta, Papali'i and Niukore were both announced as leaving by Parram
and it does reeks of " Rebuild " regardless of lowballin highballin , who stays, who is leaving, imo a plan b is to go hell for leather for brad fittler wheather you like him or not the nsw coach can do a belamy to attract cheapies , th
I don't blame Brad Arthur, the club or board if players choose to leave. Yes, I'm really pissed that Nuikore, Papali'i and Mahoney are leaving but they've chosen to seek more money instead of displaying some guts and courage by saying a big thankyou
We obviously need a quality hooker to replace Mahoney.. We will have to pay a huge fee for him but I think we should go for him. If Paulo keeps playing games with us we should withdraw his offer and look elsewhere.
"All this and he still goes meanwhile in our neck of the woods we lose SoO and international talent and replace them with ?s yet adding the best foward in the games a negative oookkkaayyy then."
"That's the thing though LB Haas will know all that but still signs on the dotted line and leaves a premiership winner in the same breath.That doesn't phase him because Wayne no doubt has outlined his plans to him.
For me it's more so the ability for…"
"I think it's moreso not how much and how.For me it's about how they went about it and the fact nobody knew the approach was being made.That's more so the key.South's used the fact that all the attention is around the Lomax Parra PVL NRL Supreme…"
