Should do well with Rip as coach.

 

[Utey]

Rip, what a champion. Would've like to hold onto him.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Ha ha Tim symonds !! I bet he wishes he took to decent offer the eels made to him last year, he could be playing nrl instead of new cup. Oh well we got Ryan instead for a 5th of the price.

He couldn't afford to support his family on his contract with the dogs thus he needed a second job which ended being a job in the mines in the Illawarra. He still wanted to play footy thus he now has the Best of both worlds playing nsw cup for Illawarra , high paying mine job and living in the Illawarra compared to western Sydney
