Barrett to sign with Eels on Wednesday

[Stagger eel]

if Kimmorely is to make a decision this week then don't expect him to sign with us.

 

[sam54no]

Or what if we don't sign Kimmorley and Barrett....

Then Thurston leaves the Cowboys cause he's not happy coming last every year

We would be the only club who could afford him. Wishful thinking i guess...

 

[JessEel]

If these guys are thinking that seriously about retirement, then they should do it. Obviously their heart isn't in it any more or else you wouldn't even consider it.

or the hearts in it, but the body is weak

And on another note, we'll find out on Thursday if we have Noddy or he is retiring as well. On Tactics last week he said he'll have his future decided this week. The way the NRL snubbed him this weekend I wouldn't be surprised if he hung it up.

why did the NRL snub him? .... isn't it alwas just up to clubs to acknowledge milestones? ... I don't think I ever remember the NRL going all out for a milestone - the clubs have always organised stuff

I think they'll do something for Noddy on GF day...

well i read an excerpt of an article posted in this thread about him making the desicion when he gets results on his shoulder....id say if his shoulder is ok to play on he will and if it isnt good he wont play....pretty simple i rekon...nothing to do with his heart u can see how he plays his heart out for the sharks and the blues this year his heart is still in it.

Haha musical chairs. Hope we end up with a decent player when the music stops.

After watching JT (and to a lesser extent Benji) last night, how good would our team be if we had a player who could run to the line and put a player into a hole.

Ah keep dreaming ain't ever gunna happen, but Trent is better then nothing.

Things always seem to come back to Tim Smith.:roll::lol:

*** THE Eels are considering bringing home the one that got away to solve their playmaking void. In the market for a big name like Matt Orford or Brett Kimmorley for season 2011, we are told the club will make a play for Eels junior and now Warriors No. 7 James Maloney for 2012. Many at the club have been surprised by his development and are keen to bring him back home for*good.

you would think the warriors would be keen to hang on to him unless they are making a big play for someone else

 

[big boppa eel]

Geez we are a geniused club, I think for Maloney's sake he should stay where he is, we dont know whether we are coming or going, sick of this sh*t.

i think part of the problem is because we are so far under the microscope by the media every little thing becomes a headline maybe signing kimmoreley and barrett was just an idle thought that was never seriously considered but like everything else the tele got hold of it and bam as far as they are concerned its a done deal

im convinced if jarryd started peeing green the telegraph would know about it before his doctor did :lol:

I'm going to add some spice to this topic...At the Cowboys game when I was sitting high up in the KT Stand, sitting directly behind me enjoying some coldies and a nicely cooked meal in the corporate box was one James Maloney, one day after his MOM performance against Penrith for the Warriors. I was questioning why he was there in my head until the stunning caterer that was serving him and the people around him caught my eye....where was I again? :sarcasm:

The only use for Barrett would be to give Ben Smith some confidence when he finally has someone to beat in the sprints at training.

you were about to describe the stunning caterer and maybe post a picture of her?

Well, he was, but then he woke up and chewed his arm off.

You're right in regards to club records but this isn't a record he set for the Bulldogs, it's one he achieved for the competition. My memory isn't great but I think the NRL had something for Andrew Johns after he became the highest point scorer, I could be wrong on that.

But I agree when players get a certain record the club acknowledge that record but from and overall competition perspective I think the NRL should recognise it. But that's just from a fans perspective.

The cronulla CEO said in an interview today that trent assured the club and sponsors on sat that he wasnt joining parra.
