Eni. It's Eni Folau.

Yeh. So it's Cam Smith then.

I have a juicy signing rumour - I won't divulge it here, but anyone keen, PM me.

It's too hard PMing you on my phone and I'll be at work until after bedtime on the east coast. Can you PM me? Hopefully I'll be able to find the button on my phone to read it.

I know the player as I have been PM.... I wouldn't get

Not sure really, they have employed Ben Rogers now as Head of Recruitment from South’s where he had that position for 5 years plus with decent results, and believe Isaac De Gois has been given more responsibility for junior recruitment and development.

Sharp was part time so expect he may be doing more at the Dogs.

BA, Rogers, ONeil and Serantinos are the panel that finalises targets etc.

Rogers was with the club previously in a similar role , not quite so far up the ladder and has worked with ONeil before.

Haven’t heard any bad reports about the new structure but early days, the results of next 18 months will tell the story I think.

Ben Rogers the ex player??

 

[Stagger eel]

If the said is who I think it is he’s on a second tier deal only

With our budget I'm not expecting anyone to froth over.

If the name i was given is the same as the one you think it is then I reckon we would only offer a 2nd tier deal.

What is a 2nd tier deal exactly?

Great. Thanks for the update. Much appreciated.

I think you may be right, on second thoughts...

Does that mean he can play First Grade, of called upon?

 

[Delboy]

Ben Rogers the ex player??

Yes that’s him, he has worked through the Eels, West’s Tigers, NRL and South’s systems. Someone said he did some work in aerial ping pong too, so that’s something.

under a proposal they can play after round 11

Thanks, mate!

I think we are thinking of the same player.

I hope it's true, if that's the case - would be handy, and wouldn't cost much!

Its a seperate squad of players outside the 30 and development

we have about 10 players signed up so far..

Ok, cool!

I was told that we are pursuing Tim Simona, quite aggressively.

To my source - I am sorry! I couldn't help myself!

 

[Twizzle]

lol,

all those wasted PMs

Lol I know!

I didn't want to steal the thunder from my source!

I like the idea of Simona - he can sure play.

um wrong Tim ....

 

[Eelementary]

Lol

Simona is the name that was brought up!

But I believe Lafai has been mentioned before, and would make more sense.
