jesus h christ i don't get some people on this forum.....who could possibly want a class centre, a QLD origin and current Australian centre.....my god
sign him up.....
We are currently 7th favourites for the title on TAB Sportsbet, and it is my understanding that if we sign Tonga or another big-name player, we would firm right up.
from what i have heard from a source in the tonga family is he is almost certain to sign with the broncos if he gets a release. he wants to stay in qld but he still has a soft spot for the eels.
Ahhh ... not sure if you noticed, but the coach was appointed quite late himself?
Hayne
Reddy
Tahu
Tonga
Grothe
would be very handy.
especially as SK seem s to following Bennett in the belief you take the points on offer no matter the situation. We will need a competent GK.Who is your GK ?
Murray ?
Hayne ?
Morts ?
I would take him in heartbeat
LOL he's no chance of going to the Eels, he's just put up with two years of playing with complete geniuss like Webb and Manuokafoa - why would he want to play with them again.
And I don't want to sound harsh, but the Eels have to be odds on to win the spoon in 2011 - you've got backwards as far as recruitment is concerned.
No decent halves, plus bad boys, over-the hill hacks and other clubs' rejects make up your roster. Not surprised no quality players want to sign with you.
Hell, the way things are going, I bet Hayne would be more likely to seek a release to join the Cowboys!
I would nab Tonga if he was keen, after all, who says Tahu can't play on the wing?
Hayne
Burt/Tahu
Reddy
Tonga
Grothe
It would mean we have several options for the backline, which can only be a good thing.
or
1. Hayne
2. Burt/Walker
3. Tonga
4. Tahu
5. Grothe/Atkins
6. Reddy
7. Morts
