Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and Crap IX

[Poupou Escobar]

Pritchard? The guy isn't even 19 yet. He has never played open age rugby league and you think he's even close to ready to defend in centrefield at NRL level?

Cam Smith and Danny Buderus - both much bigger blokes - made their debuts at 19 (Smith was actually a few weeks shy of his 19th birthday), and Smith only played two games that year (both at halfback) while Buderus only played one.

Pritchard might make his debut by the end of the year (but I hope for his and our sakes he doesn't) and if he does we should expect him to be a defensive liability, as well as so buggered from defending that he's limited in attack. At least teams will run at Sandow less.

For what it's worth, Isaac Luke made his debut a few days after his 20th birthday. Robbie Farah had only played seven games of first grade by the age of 21.

You merkins are mad you mad merkins.

I think this was posted in the NRL rumour signing thread a week or so ago -we are apparently interested in Jason Clarke from Souths.

I hadn't heard this. I will ask him when I see him.

I think he can play hooker, if he can, buy him.

Guys I heard something tonight. Wouldn't put my house on it but I was told by someone who should know or better still wouldnt have a need to bullshit that Frank Pritchard signed for us 2 weeks ago. Just putting it out there, it is a rumored signings thread after all.

Not a bad signing if true, depending on how much we paid

well that's interesting considering himself and his brother dont get along.
I think it's a poor choice if true. He's at the backend of his career and only really did anything at the Dogs, mostly shepperd plays for Barba

Heard the same. He was after an additional year to what the dogs were offering, and apparently we offered it. Time will tell.

 

[Someone]

as long as he comes at a reasonable price im ok with that.

Yep, if frank signs lets hope he comes with a UN peacekeeper...

You heard anything stagger??

 

[Stagger eel]

You heard anything stagger??

Things are very secretive at the club at the moment but have been told to expect further announcements soon, franks name has been mentioned more the once but I've also heard that things could get interesting if he does actually sign, refer to MrT's post.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

And at 31 next year it aren't too long a contract

 

[Jake the snake]

Don't rate frank at all. Could be worse though, we could have signed TREX what a joke he is $650k:shock::lol: worst buy of the century.

Pritchard is next to no chance of coming to the Eels.

His manager is using us as a reference tool to get the Dogs to pay him top dollar and we are not even bothering with this poor attempt from his manager as far as I've been told of this situation

Good to hear. We've been used as a contract bumping tool for too long. Pritchard is very over rated.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Good. Let's buy another fullback.
