I think we're just trying to become Melbourne Tier 2. We started with recruiting their assistant coaches, now we're aiming for their back-up players.

Maybe we could be Melbournes reserve grade side. We can't compete at NRL level anyway. I reckon we'd go alright in NSW Cup.

Im glad we signed Kelly if only for depth but if kearney starts him over Roberts (and im not a huge roberts fan) then he is a bigger moron than i thought.

1. We won our last game and Roberts actually played well. Didn't he get the 2 dally m points? Can't see how u can drop him after that
2. Kelly has played about 55min of first grade in the last 2 seasons and that was last night. He hardly set the world on fire

I can't even see how he makes the bench unless someone is injured. Who do you drop? Fui, Allgood, Smith, Paulo

Yeah you're right. Since we are after Hinchcliffe as well what's the go with Melbourne? Are they over the cap, trying to secure some of their current squad or looking at getting someone else?

Pretty sure Melbourne signed Kelly up for 2 years in case Cronk left

That makes sense since other clubs were chasing him hard reportedly. I just noticed that the Eels Twitter has announced the signing of five eighth Luke Kelly. I think this gives us a clue as to what Kearney's intentions for him are.

I thought Paulo played well and prob had his best game of the year on monday. Dropping players after they have played well for an unproven newbie is not smart - though would we expect any more from SK?

I would say Taulima Tautai will make way for him and I don't think that will shake things up too much.

It does indeed, but it's mostly about protecting the Chris Sandow part of the Parramatta Eels brand from MEDIA SCANDAL!!! :crazy::shock:

It's very smart by Bellamy covering his bases similar to what Manly did...something Parramatta could've learnt from when they let Hodkinson etc go
