Eels in the media

[Joshuatheeel]

“The Parramatta Eels have been made aware of an alcohol related incident involving Peni Terepo from the weekend in New Zealand.

The Club has stood Peni down immediately, including this week’s Round 1 game against Penrith.

The Club will now work with the relevant authorities in New Zealand, the NRL Integrity Unit and the RLPA to investigate the incident thoroughly.

This process will then guide our next steps.

The Club will make no further comment until the investigation is completed.”

Should get at least 4 weeks for utter stupidity.

Didn't he get pissed and smash his car last year in NZ ? He needs to stay away from that place.

EDIT: Feb 1 2018, Deja Vu.

Far out, Peni.

Wow.

 

[strider]

FFS .... yep give him at least 4 weeks if true .... under the repeat idiot

 

[Suitman]

FMD!
Dumbarse.

 

[Jake the snake]

No excuses for this Dicks. Are they that f**king dumb? Absolute meat heads these guys are. Surely there’s one player in this league that has half a brain.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Unlucky we are, lose 2 top 17 forwards before the season even starts!

 

[lingard]

The first thing that struck me was the "depth" of forwards that the Knights have. I'd be sniffing around the Saifiti twins (although one of them has a broken leg)

We'll probably grab him, then.

 

[Jake the snake]

I’d be happy if we sacked Peni. I like the way he plays but he clearly does not learn. I’m all for giving people chances but he’s had a fair few now. No excuses.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Davey will save us.

 

[amitropo]

Just read the other day on TCT I think about him going to have a stand out year this season. Didn’t realize they meant “stood down”

 

[lingard]

It's a f**ken outrage!

Actually I do have one thing to say about that article....it says that on their "power rankings" we are the 13th side, which I'm forced to assume means they believe we are the 13th best side.

Yet they say we'll come last? Wouldn't that mean we're the 16th best side at this stage?

No, they rank us at 13th best (4th worst) but, due to the Sisyphus factor, they figure we'll come last anyway.

 

[Angry_eel]

Tbh, it doesn't sound "that" bad. He's not the first person who has been loud and drunk on a plane. By this account, half the flyers from Bali would be fired from their jobs.

Having said that, I wouldn't be too worried if the Club lets him go. Chance for potentially a smart young guy to come through.

No.

 

[Kornstar]

f**k him off, he’s not a star and has let us down to start the season in back to back years.

He may have been the difference in some of those closer losses last year for us not to start 0-6, i would not be upset to see him go and i actually don’t mind him as a player.

If you want to implement this proposal across the board most teams wouldn't be able to field a run on side.

4 weeks is being light really they need to learn there lesson somehow. How hard is it for these players to behave themselves in public.

After all the stupid things rugby league players have done this off season getting yourself intoxicated one week out from the season when your about to hop on a plane and then being disruptive on it.

How much leeway do you give these idiots
