Maitua's plan to lure SBW to Eels

[parramatta_eels_123]

'' I'm excited for Willie Tonga and Ben Roberts to come over.'' he says of the Eels' 2012 recruits. Maitua is speaking between between a video session and a field run.

'' ... and hopefully i can jag Sonny Bill the year after! ''
*
That's Sonny Bill Williams, folks. And Reni's not joking. '' We're obviously not as close as we used to be - he lives in New Zealand'', the former Bulldog explains.
*
'' I've had a couple of conversations with him about where he's at. I don't want to mess with his head. He's playing rugby now. But after next year he's eligible to come back to league, after the Canterbury contract. I throw a few cheeky comments in there (to him), that it would be great to pack down in a scrum again with him in the back row before i retire. '' I'm a bit older than him. I love the kid and i'd love the opportunity to play alongside him again. I'll be doing whatever i can. '' I'll play for free if it means getting him an extra ... whatever in 2013. I'm sure most blokes would, to have him at the club.''

That was a story in Rugby League week

Injury Bill Williams... a man who doesn't keep contracts.

Not excited in the slightest at the prospect of having him at the club in 2013.

Maybe Reni can also work on Big Willie coming to the eels as well?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Brent Sherwin.. Adam Perry..

Maybe Steve Price can come out of retirement?

hold on, do we really want role models?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I don't give a shit to be honest. I just want to watch good footy players; if they're good blokes as well then that's a bonus.

If footy players are your kids' role models then you're not raising them right.

my kids like marylin mason

 

[The EELiminator]

wouldnt it piss off the doggies supporters if we did get him

:lol::lol: I loved that rumour!

 

[hineyrulz]

Pass, he's an A grade f**kwit who is lead around by the collar but Mundine and co.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Whether it be SBW or someone else, we wil need a top notch second rower for 2013 to replace Hindmarsh, unless someone can step up massively.

Did you see the interview where he was asked if it was true and he said he was actually Willis on Different Storkes?

Well if we are going to sign a f*ckwit, then i want an a grade one. Dont want a reserve grade f*ckwit

We won't need to replace Hindy specifically. Central back-rowers are a dime a dozen, and any number of blokes could step up. It's likely Ben Smith could shift into the middle and allow a better runner to take his spot on the right.

There's no better player in the game when on song. Would love to have him at the Eels especially after losing Mateo.

2004 just called it wants it's memories back, by 2013 it will be 9 years on and about 1000 injuries.

My bad, what i meant was we need to fill the void left by Hindy with a powerful second rower with someone like SBW or similar. A Ben Teo would be nice

SBW was still growing during this time. That is one of the main reasons why he was injury prone. If we jagged SBW it would be the greatest and most anticipated signing in EELS history.
