"1.1m is an overpay but I don't give a fuck because our R&R hasn't signed anybody of note since Lomax who was persuaded by BA's wife"
"Mate I am honestly lost for words where this club is going to go. Ryles great coach but with bad R&R team don't be surprised if the club throws Ryles under the bus for less success because of failure the recruitment staff is and ceo collectively.…"
"Team is heading in the right direction and our cap space is great heading into 2027. We in a great spot tbh "
"Mate I'm angry, we let Lomax go without getting someone we couldn't even get Garrick, Galvin, Keaon to come yet we couldn't keep Pezet for additional years. Yet this recruitment has the balls to say we never offered 4 years. The R&R from BA era had…"
"He obviously values money over winning then 😂 eels offered 4 years 4 million he wanted more. Probably just not the guy you want at the club then "
"That's what makes this look even worse for the eels, there is no upside for keon going to dragons apart from money and length of contract. This is another massive fail by mon and our recruitment team, i could understand if we missed out to souths…"
"Absolutely pathetic.
We can't sign genuine A grade Talent.
All we get are has beens, never will be's or guys not wanted by other clubs.
St Merge has grossly overpaid for him so I'm glad we didn't match it but it just confirms we aren't an attractive…"

"Agreed.
fresh new coach, facility and a top 2-3 halfback and he chooses the fucking dragons lol."

"Yes I agree, Mon hasn't exactly landed anyone of note, and we can't blame ba for everything concerning now that we're in a rebuild. Whilst Sarantinos lay most of the blame at Arthur, the Football operations manager is there to make sure…"
"Paying 5 million over 5 years for Keon probably isn't the smartest move ever 😂😂 "
"Realistically what does Keon going to dragons actually do for them but ? It's a big name but they don't have anything around it. Pretty happy with what Ryles is building. If guys don't want to join that's on them "
"At what point do these fcukwits at Parra look at each other and step the fcuk aside? I said it before, we are in massive trouble."
"Need someone to replace Lomax more than Keon in my opinion"
"Yeah keep believing in hope idiot. This is embarrassing for the club we aren't going to attract anyone. Poor Ryles great coach that has the backing of the shittest footy recruitment team and run by dumb fucks with no footy iq."
"I thought it was actually a Hyundai Getz rental car and Keon footed the bill "
"We have a world class facility, world class Stadium and one of the richest clubs and we couldn't even beat dragons to sign Keaon. Mate get MON the FUCK OUT OF THERE AND EVERY CUNT IN THAT RECRUITMENT OFFICE NOW."

ANY MORE SIGNINGS???
I've been frustrated recently about the work we have been doing in the open market. Jonah's alright for a year and JDB is solid but he's getting old. I feel we need more in the forwards and some a replacement outside back. All I have seen is links…

Mick and Peter Mortimer sat directly behind me at the 09 grand final, absolutely top shelf bloke, they were both very pleasant and quite happy to chat.
This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
For his day he was a great kicker, toe bashing leather balls off sand isn't easy.
As a centre he was defensively flawless and was impossible to put on the ground when carrying the ball.
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
