Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XVIII

Paulo will probably be our backup in the halves

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I cant see him lasting 4 years

He's lasted the past thirteen years. He does whatever it takes to stay fit, get on the field and help his team. He has only missed 33 games since 2003; five of those due to Origin. That means that since his first full season in 2003 he has missed 28 games due to injury or suspension. That's just over two games per year.

I'm guessing he will become more injury prone because that's what generally happens to older players, but Moimoi turned 35 this year (Watmough's age at the end of this contract) and over the past four years he only missed four games due to injury.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Moimoi didn't have Watmough's accumulated wear and tear tho, or access to a particular sports scientist.

Morgan plays for a pie and a coke. If we win, he gets a free sauce.

Knowing how miss managed this club is im sure he's on good coin.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Arthur's has already said Morgan will get first shot at a centre jersey. He came into the team in round 12 this year, and from round 14 he played every game.

The coach obviously rates him as a first grader. I'm sure Morgan is on first grade money but I doubt it is much more than $200k. I'm sure Champion and Takairangi would be on more than that.

Welcome to the club, Choc.

The cynicism is understandable but it's not Ozzy at the helm anymore. I'm hopeful things have changed for the better.

Did he? Recently? Interesting.

He did have some factors in his favour in retaining his spot last year, with Tonga leaving and Hoppa injured.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

To be fair, Brad Arhtur's also said we might go with De Gois on the bench, which sounds like a stupid idea. In both cases he might just have been encouraging a depth player concerned about playing a lot less first grade next year.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Yeah. Going by the Kelly/Sandow thing last year, maybe we can't take Arthur's words at face value.

 

[Parraren]

Really solid, well rounded squad with heaps of cover in most positions.

Just need an x-factor centre or fullback and we're sweet.

 

[Twizzle]

 

[hineyrulz]

Bit hard on Takarangi but can't argue with the rest.

Parra the home of mediocrity.

 

[ParraSteve]

Im ok with the 1 year contracts, if they fail they're gone next year when we can really recruit some top class players. there isn't much out there at the moment

 

[Twizzle]

Just found it on Facebook

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Haters gonna hate.

 

[Parraren]

Our coach backs himself to get the best out these types of signings.

That's good enough for me.

Who the fk were Mau, Edwards, Gower & Radradra before pre season 2013?

 

[Delboy]

We are a harsh mob, the coach has I think proved his mettle , and yet we all know better than a career coach whose job depends on success, so obviously he will sign players who let him down , oh really!!!

Pretty obvious there is cash left in the cap,and yet some carry on as if the world will end. These signings were made before our resident princess took off. Who knows what the next week or so wil bring, I think we may be surprised

There are complaints when we sign players that are ready for NRL as they will get in the way of our juniors, when depth players are signed to help our jumiors mature, the world is going to end and no one in the club has a clue

FMD, we are a fickle lot, I have faith in th coach and staff , let's see how they perform before we put the boot in at least

 

[Mr Pmatta]

You lot r the most miserable sods I have come across, we have 5 good signings which will compliment our existing squad, and still carry on like absolute tools....they will wear our colours so get the f**k over it and embrace them as. Parramatta Eels.

Fickle lot??? We haven't made the finals in 5 years and haven't won a cracker in nearly 30. Yeah real fickle :roll: We have lost the best player in the game and signed dross. Watmough is a good signing but for big over's on 4 years. Desperation more then anything. Takarangi and 3 nobodies whoop de f**king doo!!
