DT: Inu shows his true colours

[Junior 5]

Hi guys, I'm only 11 and I love to play in the centre's, fullback and even hooker. When or if the time comes I only hope the Parra scouts are in Brisbane and come to watch me play. I am undecided which local club up here I will play for next year. I live in Logan and have a few to choose from and I will be attending Marsden High in 2009 (that's where Cameron Smith and Falou went). Mum has always told me when I get a little older she will be emailing the club and putting in a good word, so the club doesn't miss out on a up and coming star (lol).
Cheer guys and go the Mighty Eels. Hopefully I can catch up with a few of you next year when mum and dad bring me down for a couple of games.

Nice to have some good news after the all the other turbulent news items over the passed week.

*rolls eyes* That's what they all say. Wait a few years, and we shall see...I highly doubt they'll be so loyal once things get to their heads

Thats what people we're saying before they signed on this time, "Rolls eyes"

:lol: ahhh how easy it is to be cynical when your team would prefer to offload it's home grown talent. It's no secret that when they get a couple of aussie imports, the warriors go well. ;-)

On another note, how is it possible that the Roosters are in the hunt for every big name off contract?

the Mateo deal was about $50K less over 3 years.

thats my point even if it was 50K less per year (as opposed to 50k over the 3 years meaning mean 16.6k a year) then compared to the money Hayne and Inu turned down it really isn't that much.


Look it's still great that Mateo is staying but he didn't excatly take much of a pay cut to do it.

Yeah, from what I remember, Manly offered Mateo $280 000 a year and Parra offered $230 000 a year.

Hey Junior, best of luck in pursuing your footballing ambitions.

I thought it was worth noting that from the well written, articulate nature of your posts, I would never have guessed that you are only 11. You're clearly a well rounded individual who outside of football, is also in the process of getting a decent education. Keep it up, if this is the direction our game is heading than we're in good shape.

Aside from Inu saying he's happy, the line that really pleases me is the one about how gerat our coaching staff is at treating players as individuals.

Many (myself included, at first) were very sceptical when we announced Hagan as our coach. But what a master stroke it is turning out to be - the guy is a GREAT bloke, he has tonnes of footy knowledge and he's not only building from the work Brian did at the club - he's leaving his own [very positive] imprint on the club. I am so proud of the bloke.

 

[junior009]

Could not agree more Eelamentary....really makes me think the club is in great hands ad i couldn't be happier to be proved wrong.

 

[apeman]

mateo was offered 280 000 a year by manly, but stayed at parra for 240 000.

great loyalty that you dont get in any other professions.

Can anyone genuinely say they would turn down an extra 40 000 a year?

Im not even earning $40 000 a year yet, however, If I was offered $280 000 a year by Manly, and $240 000 a year by Parra, id sign with Parra.

 

[bartman]

Great to read Inu's own words about his future in the paper like this. Good on him.

Sounds like there is a good vibe at Parra that makes these guys want to stay instead of chasing maximum dollar elsewhere. Credit to whoever's responsible for turning things around and instilling this positive vibe as the junior talent comes through.

 

[Pazza]

way better culture at the club than the bulldogs lol

 

[EGGG]

Good to get some good news with all the Smith hoopla. Inu is a good one, if he fulfills his potential he can be anything.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Hey EGGG, you were the bloke that was seeking another club to follow ey?

Did you choose our great club?

 

[Redback71]

excellent. christmas is coming early

 

[Gronk]

This appeared in an article regarding Israel Folau.

Only Parramatta centre Krisnan Inu is in the same class as Folau and he appears certain to remain with the Eels.
