    Schedule Rd22

    The fact that the Roosters and Knights is the Sunday game, shows our poor the quality of football is at the moment.

    Savage Blow to our Frontrow Depth.

    Woo Hoo! An ok performance against the happless Bunnies. That would make him worth what, $200,000+? Straight swap for Az i would think!?

    Savage Blow to our Frontrow Depth.

    No need to panic. If the rumor is true, by next year we will have Ray Cashmere here to solve our depth problems at prop....

    Have we signed anyone yet?????

    If we are to get a big signing it will be announced either today, or next week. If our big signing is someone like Robert Apanui from the Burleigh Bears, it will be announced Tues, Wed, or Thurs, so that the distraction of State Of Origin will mean fewer people will laugh at us....

    Player Ratings vs Canberra

    You wouldn't have given him any points if you were following the game on radio. Anyone that was forced to follow the game through ABC radio and the commentary of Tim Gable would have thought that we had a former Canberra now Manly winger playing in our backrow!... FFS it sh!t me!

    Why not Travis Burns?

    I agree, he is a hard runner to which is a positive. Is he any better than Morris? Probably not, but the fact that he has develope through the Manly system couldn't be easy, so there is probably tonnes more potential there to be tapped into. Unless Hagan is thinking about being a player coach...

    Brett Kearney

    John Morris. It would be a backward step to sign him as a permanent 5/8.

    MR:- Collective Bargaining Agreement

    Considering the talent that has been let go and the talent that has already been picked up at other clubs, i would guess we are going to end up a long way under the cap next year. While forward thinking clubs like the Dragons have taken full advantage of it and kept almost all their players.

    All the $$$ but no one to sign

    I know what you mean. I think that suits a guy who is established, like a Ben Kennedy or Matt Orford at Manly who are worth the same to the club this year as they are next year. But if you are 20 odd, world at your feet, are you likely to accept a deal where you get paid less later when you...

    All the $$$ but no one to sign

    my only problem with paying a little overs for juniors is that you pay player x too much now, you will always have to pay him overs when ever his contract gets renewed. Also we can end up spending all this extra money on developing a guy who leaves and plays elsewhere.

    Young Players...

    We usually just pick up your scraps... Ben Duckworth, Big Corey.. We'll probably end up with bloody Jamal!

    Young Players...

    - Danny Galea (Penrith Panthers) - Well if he replaced Delaney in the squad, we wouldn't be losing anything, but certainly not gaining anything either. - Ray Cashmere (North Queensland Cowboys) If he is the solution to our Prop problem, i'll give it away. - Mark Minichiello (Souths Sydney...

    Morris hits out at Eels

    Why? He was angry at the way he was treated, why can't he voice that? His comments suggest he was disapointed because the club went "hard" for Lyon (a guy who deserted us) and didn't try at all to keep him (a guy who has tried his butt off week in and week out). Show me one game where John...

    Eels players on the market

    Make that Thursday (today). If Delaney doesn't like what he is being offered, why risk losing somone else. Pull it off the table at 10am today and revert some cash into an improved offer for Green. One of the two (all be it in a lower grade) has been showing improvement and plays in a position...

    Steve Simpson Get Out Clause Activated

    I was believing it right up to the last two words. He is a worse defender than Ben Walker, and that is a pretty hard thing to be. I agree he may have that untapped potential waiting to get out, if we pick him up from the scrap heap fine, but in that first week post june 30, our focus should be...

    Steve Simpson Get Out Clause Activated

    I think Steve Simpson is going to be laughing all the way to the bank. With the quality players all getting signed up, left right and centre, he will know what cash the Eels have and know how desperate we are. I would guess we may get him, but it will be for overs.

    Signings

    A news report on radio tonight suggested the Dragons have re-signed Poore and Sims.

    Morris hits out at Eels

    There is a poster on here (maybe Parrapete, i can't remember ). He comes on and says things like "Simon Woolford will sign with the Dragons". And he is prooven either right or wrong. He probably hears inklings it is on the way, before he knows for sure, but either way he puts it out there and...
