Eels in the media

Sk created the mess. Do you actually believe the shit you type? Countless useless merkins signed to big dollars/year deals. But keep believing in fairies if it makes you feel better.

The only f**kup was Sandow. Removing the shoulder charge made him completely ineffective in defence.

Otherwise we never had the cap space for big money signings. Kearney and Nolan made the signings they were able to under the circumstances. It was obvious we weren't on a level playing field which is why we cheated after Kearney left.

Kearney probably isn’t that bad a coach. But he seems like a horrendous manager

Jarryd Hayne MKII

not for me thanks

Hayne was a much better player than Latrell

I'd argue Hoppa on 800k wasn't a great one either. Especially if we were paying the merkin two years to ride a bike.

That sucks.

 

[Twizzle]

didn't we just sign a new strength and conditioning merkin ?

 

[hineyrulz]

I thought Jimenez had done a great job, big loss IMO.

The marquee player rule is for one player only from what I understand, which would make that really f**king unlikely.

Nope, they can use that marquee rule for 2 signings... Lattrel Mitchell should get his manager on it, they'd probably pay him 3 times what he's after...

 

[Gronk]

But it's OK when a club wants to squeeze out a player apparently.
