I've never picked Hindey as being the political type. He'll get the most votes just because of who he is.

Lurker has no idea

@PrimeO Pauli Pauli to leave Eels before June 30 likely heading to Tigers. Heard anything ? #asklurk The Lurker: I think he will go, possibly to the Tigers, but not til 2016. (Photo by Renee McKay/Getty Images)

[El Diablo]

why would anyone ask the lurker?

all he does is use other peoples rumours

 

[Avenger]

Would you swap Pauli for Tapau?

 

[eel01s]

I wonder if BA would?

 

[Bigfella]

I'm hearing BA doesn't have much say in some of these decisions... Just gets told after they have been made.

Has anyone else heard that? Other than paper talk?

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Taupau is a good player, we probably don't have room to have him though. I reckon next year our middle will consist of Mannah, Wicks, Watmough, Gower, Jnr P, and Moeroa. And our edges will be between Ma'u, Scott, and Edwards. Then we have some young ones pushing up with Twal and Aloiai looking like they might be given a shot next year.

In what decisions? BA would pick the players he wants to keep, the players he wants to leave and the players he wants to bring in. He is the coach after all, it'd be Anderson, and P.Sharp that would work to offload and sign players so that BA can focus on getting the 17-19 players prepared for first grade for the week.

Is that what you're referring to or something else?

 

[Bigfella]

Yes I've heard he hasn't been consulted on some recruitment decisions.

 

[El Diablo]

i hope Anderson isn't fiddling

he should never have been hired

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Which recruitment decisions? Foran, Watmough, and Scott all seem like signings that BA would make to me. Or do you mean players that we've let go?

 

[84 Baby]

Think he means Quade Cooper

 

[Gronk]

Think he means Quade Cooper

I was watching QC the other day and though he plays a lot like Corey Norman, or visa versa.

Is letting go someone go a recruitment decision?

One example was watmough.

I can't confirm it - which was why I didn't want to press the particular decision.

It would be pretty concerning if it was true imo.

Yep.

So signing an experienced, Manly forward (BA signed Gower, and Fa'aoso), that plays hard is the player that you question BA had any involvement in? okay then.

It's alright if you can't confirm it, that's what a rumours thread is for but sometimes you have to use common sense.

From when BA first joined he tried getting watmough. Heard it from three seperate sources. One was delboy. Choc wanted to play under BA in 2014, but couldn't get a release.

I call bs.
