Rumoured and Confirmed Signings with added crap - XXVI

[Poupou Escobar]

It is very exciting.

 

[Stagger eel]

so with all this comments about fringe players doing well, are there any of these guys (moss, pritchard, gutherson etc) that will be pushing for a top 17 spot?

we actually have quite a competitive squad for the first time in a long time.

Arguebly the most competitive squad overall since 05/06 imo.... And to answer your question, you'd be a brave man to tell those kids to wait in line and wait for their more fancied team mates to break down...

 

[Rhyno]

Semi has his own shirt now

It looks like Viv Richards. :lol:

:lol: Old Smoking Joe.

 

[Gary Gutful]

That's a great shirt.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And the great thing is, every one you buy counts directly toward the salary f**king cap.

Well, Arthur likes a bench hooker so there is a spot for Pritchard. Semi / mr t / Gordon are definite top 17, so there is two back spots available. Gordon can play wing, if Moss kills it in the trials

Good to have options.

At the risk of starting some circular logic argument/discussion, without his name and an eels logo, jersey or NRL logo, it is JUST a t-shirt.

Nothing relating it to Semi Radradra, the Parramatta Eels or the NRL so why would it attract Salary Cap concerns?

Yeah agreed. Plus, if none of the money went to the player it surely wouldn't be a salary cap issue either.

Does anyone remember whom he is sponsored by? If it's X-Blades this would be part (all?) of his third party sponsorship. If so it's a clever workaround.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I believe he is sponsored by Flancrest Enterprises.

 

[The EELiminator]

I believe he is sponsored by Flancrest Enterprises.

also by Vandelay Industries

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Kava importers and wholesalers?

 

[Obscene Assassin]

I believe he is sponsored by Flancrest Enterprises.

Are you sure? I have inside word that it's actually Compuglobalhypermeganet but it's a bit hush hush atm.

Some crap

When driverless cars are eventually allowed on tje Road, if it gets in an accident and kills somebody and you're the owner, are you liable?

Are we really looking at Gutherson as a fringe guy?

We have been playing a fringe guy for years due to injuries, surely as highly touted a player as Gutherson comes in as a first choice option? Morgan is a backup at best. Gutherson is an Origin player at best. Lets hope we get the best out of him!!

Agreed, he is a first grader. If injuries treated him kindly he would of played 30 or 40 games and probably not let go by Manly.

Morgs is a back up at best who has somehow played 80 odd games.

Government and industry are having a lot of trouble agreeing on liability surrounding robotics. I'm sure we'll all be able to agree on it though.

At best Morgan is better than a backup, but I agree Gutherson has more talent. As soon as he is deemed able to defend at NRL level he will walk into the side.
