Eels in the media

You can't terminate a contract just because a bloke is no longer needed. But maybe you can if he Fuchs up bad enough.

True.

Holy shit, this shit is cannon fodder for the haters.

Ping @hineyrulz, it’s your time to shine buddy.

what's with the Manchester United support at a Parra home game?

David Beckham grew up in Fairfield.

David Beckham grew up in Fairfield.

He is a massive fan of the Fairfield City Lions

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I thought he played for Fairfield RSL.

 

[emjaycee]

I would hope not - that sort of behaviour from the club would disappoint me enormously.

If you don't want Blake around, just man up, and tell him he's not needed any more - don't play these games, imo.

Isnt that exactly what they did about 10 days ago?

So is anyone else wondering why the cops tapped Haynes phone weeks after (no offence to the victim) a relatively minor sexual assault alleged incident?

They tapped his phone within 4 days of the alleged victim lodging a complaint as part of their investigative process before charging him.
It is how they gather evidence or something... that's right , it's called police work.

I never knew that. I feel like I'm becoming smarter by the minute.

As a person who is clearly of a different mindset to Hayne/Piss, a tap for this seems unnecessary and speculative. But perhaps the cops have better experience with footballers.
But I’m suspecting that, that phone tapping speculation may have paid off more than an inane conversation

What are they expecting to hear from this though? "Bro she was all like 'No I dont wanna root' and I was like 'Yeah nah we gunna f**k whether you like it or not bro' and she was like 'I dont consent to this cuz' and I was like 'Whatevs bro its gunna happen'"

Short of an actual confession what could they possibly get on him? I reckon in close to 100% of date rape cases the dude convinced himself it was consensual. Therefore he's not a reliable witness. Why tap his phone?

They did.

My comment was specifically in response to the question around whether we are using Ferguson's off-field issues as a way to get rid of him.

First part - exactly. The most likely benefit they get is making him look like a shit merkin. That seems a bit overkill.
Second part - FFS... can anyone think of any other benefit the cops might get from tapping his phone?

Related to this case?

FFS.... I wonder if it provided information on the former Eels fullback

I suspect he’s talking about the Michael Gordon situation. Maybe several titans players (past and present) have got their phones tapped.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well that was my point too. I doubt they would've been tapping Hayne's phone hoping for a sexual assault confession. Clearly the tap was for something else and the Pearce conversation was incidental.

Or perhaps Pearce was the target of the phone tapping?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Ooh. Good angle

 

[hineyrulz]

So the RSPCA might be involved with this???

Na I meant Ken Thornett. That guys definitely a criminal mastermind
