Rumoured and Confirmed Signings with added crap - XXVI

[Noise]

never needed Hiku when we already have Morgs

Dam straight! Morgs loses 70% of the time. Bring him on

 

[EelsFan05]

And Morgs lives to fight another day.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah Pou logic is just the best, what's it like never being wrong???

I'm wrong sometimes - Sandow comes to mind. I was also wrong when I said we'd win a premiership with our savior Jarryd Hayne.

But instead I avoid being wrong by adopting a wait-and-see approach. To do otherwise is a mug's go.

Stagger 4 Avenger 0, kick to come.

Meanwhile, here's a serious question...

Lets put aside who offered what for 1 minute, if you were a player and you had a meeting with Daniel Anderson one day and Phil Gould the next... Who would sell their club to you better??

How about your 2015 prediction of the Eels finishing 6th after being in the top 4 most of the year?

Now you reckon we have an even stronger squad thanks to utilising Hayne's money so are you predicting even better this year with even more 'leadership'?

You did admit yesterday or the day before though that Penrith's offer was "Big, Real Big".

I'm sure if the Parra offer and the Penrith offer were reversed that the highest bidder would've still sold their club the best.

I wouldn't buy the club off either of them

Dunno, I've never met DA.

I definitely think we have a stronger squad next year.

As for predicting a ladder position, it's just a guessing game. If I was being objective I'd say we should finish about mid table each year, with higher or lower finishes being outliers.

But what fun is that kind of prediction?

Yep. When you pay that much money you're not exactly the one doing the selling.

I agree that Parra has a stronger squad for 2016, even if we sign no more players.

But, how many teams who finished ahead of us on the ladder in 2015 do you think has a worse squad for 2016?

You're right. That is not a prediction. Have some balls.

I reckon 9th with 1 or 2 more wins than 2015.

Bulldogs
Roosters
Dragons - maybe depends how their bigger pack goes with limited interchange

I think Dogs will miss the 8

Fair question. DA doesn't have the media profile or experience Gould has so I think it's fair to assume that Gould would be far more polished when it comes to talking and selling his vision and product whatever it is that he's trying to sell.

From the sounds of it though, in this case it seems like it had much less to do with a Gould V DA scenario but more about a) $$'s and b) length of contract... In a hypothetical situation, if the terms offered were identical from both Eels and Panthers then yeah you would have to assume Gould would likely make his case more compelling than DA would...

Do you think the Roosters squad is significantly worse though that would now make the Parra squad better than the Roosters squad?

Also, are there any clubs who finished lower on the ladder than Parra in 2015, who you would also say have a better squad for 2016?

Exactly. The Roosters squad is weaker than 2015 but in no way is it weaker than our team.
And the Dragons team will be improved in 2016 with added forwards and Lafai and Mann. Dogs are the only team who fnished in front of us who may fall below.

If we only had Seward doing the deals for us lol now were stuck with DA.

Imo I dont get all the Hiku love... standard player who will never be great. If be going after Roberts. He's a freak.

 

[Rhyno]

Lafai is a better player anyway
