Rumours and Stuff

Yeah, I agree with you.

Daniel Mortimer played more games, for more try assists, but Brown defends better, had a stronger running game, and has shown maturity with his kicking game.

Dylan Brown is a super, super, super exciting prospect for us - he is an absolute gun, and I've been saying it for years!

Mortimer had tenacity, good at backing up and a decent kicking game.
Dylan has that and more..much more.
Speed, composure, better defence, bigger, ball player and a runner.
Brown is only going to get better. He is an excitement machine who makes things happen. His top speed is eelectric

I agree.

I rate DylBro very highly.

Drown should be better, but i dont think he has got there yet

They can get a player to first grade, they just need another club to get them to reach their potential

Or once they become too costly they replace with a cheaper junior and just keep the best of crop.
16/17 made first grade debut for Panthers in last weeks game. Amazing effort.

Undecided about Dylan Brown. He needs at least another season before we comment on him or how good he's going to be. Daniel Mortimer was better in his first year.

Disagree. I was one of very few on here calling Mortimer average. I quite clearly remember saying he doesn't seem to put guys in gaps. Just a good support player.
D.Brown is putting guys in gaps and has a far better kicking game. He is also playing in an era 10yrs later where defenses are far better. Yet to see D.Brown throw long cut out passes but he does slide nicely and put guys into space.

You forgot the bit where everyone laughed at you for not rating Morts

I remember when I rated Davis however. He looked quite naturally gifted. He was garbage.

Too bad Penrith are playing Brisbane.
Doesn't anyone check facts these days. This is meant to be a leading newspaper.
If this guy worked for me and made this blunder I would sack him.

I remember when I thought Weller Hauraki would be as good as Fui...how wrong was I?

On the Lane thing.
The NRL need to be smart. Why should Eels be punished and Manly benefit from this situation. It is not a coincidence the timing of release. Lane had already signed with Eels prior to Mad Monday. Someone has held onto these pics and released at the worse possible time they could.
Unless the NRL put a stop too this then the same thing will keep happening.
I reckon the Manly club is behind this personally. I'd say they where pissed he signed for us and snapped him when drunk....

Your name isn't Phil and you're the publisher of an Eels fan site by any chance??!!

But honestly Seph Paulo would solve our halfback woes....

This is all being discussed in the Eels in the Media thread.....just sayin.

How the...?

My secret is out!

iS there anything new rumour wise about Semi Rad?

Yep, he's not coming back. Period.

 

[Eelogical]

Yep, he's not coming back. Period.

It would be a backwards step going forward, for the Eels anyway. If we're going to go anywhere then we need to foster alternatives rather than rely on the possible return of former players and their whims. Semi was great, but he done gone, yo.

 

[strider]

Yeah but it'd be awesome if he came back

 

[Eelogical]

Not in my book, I'm not one to slurp on the past. He elected to find his fortune elsewhere and that's all fine by me, I wish him well. I just don't see him figuring at the Eels in the future.
