Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XVII

[Poupou Escobar]

I have often thought he'd be better on the left as well. The only reason to have him on the right is because he is our primary kicker (and that is his better side).

Also, Norman is a left footer so I don't think they will ever swap (though they have both drifted to their opposite sides during some games).

@MCarayannis: Brad Arthur confirms the Eels have signed Danny Wicks on @2SM1269

 

[Stagger eel]

Brad Arthur just interviewed on talkin sport and revealed that Wicks is definitely signed... I suppose subject to a clearance

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hey guys I was just listening to the radio and we've signed Michael Wicks as groundsman at our new high performance centre.

Did they ask him about Watmough?

How did the interview go with Just Robbo and Tunks? Would have been fun listening...


I am not too sure on his signing as of yet...

i thought the NRL ha already said it would be OK

Yep. He will have served his sentence so why would they stop him? They could've just banned him for life.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Whats Pou think Wicks i the Middle?

Yeah why not? That's where he played before. Just losing weight won't give him the skills required to play on the edges.

Plus we already have a few edge forwards in Ma'u, Moeroa, Pauli, and Edwards. I think next year we'll be using both Edwards and Pauli on both the edges and in the middle depending on the situation. Good flexibility to have on the bench.

Yeah. Especially if Watmough comes that leaves even less space for one of the edge forwards to be used in the middle (most likely Edwards).

At full strength I reckon one of those four will be playing for Wenty.

8) Mannah 9) Peats 10) Gower 11) Moeroa 12) Ma'u 13) Watmough 14) De Gois/Lussick 15) Jnr Paulo 16) Edwards 17) Pauli/Wicks

We have a few options next year if we sign both Wicks and Watmough. Both strong middle forwards, which we need.

Mossop?

 

[Y2Eel]

Mossop?

Too Old...

 

[Gazzamatta]

:crazy:
He stopped ageing a couple of years ago I think.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I'm sure he still roughly matches his dental records anyway.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Mossop?

He's not better than any of those mentioned. Plus those mentioned don't have a shoulder problem.

 

[Gazzamatta]

I disagree. I think he will be a great addition next year. I guess we will see.
I liked Gower the very first game he played for us. A couple of errors but he added something solid and something different. I felt the same about Mossop. I take your point about his injury but Im very hopefull he will surprise many next season.

 

[eels_fan]

Surely Mossop will have to return to first grade via Wenty. We didn't see enough of him to warrant him jumping anyone in the pecking order that played most of the year

8. Mannah
9. Peats
10. Lussick/Gower
11. Watmough
12. Edwards
13. Morera

14. Paulo
15. Paulo
16. Ma'u
17. Gower/Lussick

18. Pauli
19. Mossop
20. Terepo

Pauli Pauli I don't think will see to much NRL next year. Maybe once there are a few injuries. Him and Terepo would be first out of the team.
Pauli has a lot of talent but is too raw.He needs a bit of time and its a good thing he is 19 cause he has plenty of it.
