Eels Snare Humble !

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Humble to the jungle
We got Jarryd Hayne
We will give Inu the ball
Then to Grothe to dive in and score

 

[EELRAM]

Our team is Reddy.
We have Grothe.
And we are Humble.

I wonder what Gronk will say when he finds out Parra Pete has his password and username?

Good work FO. Sounds like we will only have him for the 2 years, but with Robson on the way out that is an important signing.

 

[benoir91]

We still need an experienced back up half

Seriously guys Mortimer Humble and Keatingare too inexperienced for immediate success

Although I am happy with the signing

Yes, someone call security. I've often thought that my seven year old had yours. ;-)

Good work guys, I'm spewing that we didn't sign him.

We've got precisely ONE fullback at the club, and he will be spending the next 10 months recovering from his second knee operation in as many years.

I wonder what our recruiters were thinking? Signing absolute trash like Hegarty for backline depth when there's a boom youngster at our doorstep?

I hope we get him back in a couple of years. Hopefully he gets homesick in the meantime. You guys have more than enough talent in the backline as it is.

Can you imagine how hard it is to win games with THIS backline?

1. Ty Williams
2. Michael Bani
3. Ashley Graham
4. Willie Tonga
5. Shannon Hegarty

 

[JessEel]

Ashbags can play fullback... And Willie is hitting some great form again.. but yea............sorry for stealing your player!! :lol:

 

[Parra Steve]

Surely cowboys could bring up a guy from NYC for the last couple games than Heggarty.

What happend to J.Williams and why you guys let Farrah go for Bani I will never know.

 

[ROGUE]

has he passed the para bi-polar exam

JK that is a corker.:lol: But on a serious note why are some people saying he's a back up half, i would of thought it's not a foregone conclusion that that morts and kk own the half and 5/8 posi just yet

 

[hineyrulz]

Great pick up for Parra, he sounds like a top young player.

I have seen Tommy Humble play about 15 times this season (some on TV but mostly live) as he has been playing for the Northern Pride in the QLD Cup. Let me tell you folks we have a good one here. In a team that finished the minor premiership in 2nd
place in a comp that is significantly better than the NSW Premier League, Humble stands out head and shoulders as one of the best players on the field each and every week. His assets are without doubt his ridiculous explosive speed, great in and away, throws a pretty good long ball and despite being a 20 year old 5/8, is not afraid to line up a big shot on a forward opponent.
Under coach Andrew Dunneman, the Pride are told to play what is infront of them, so Humble’s attacking off-the-cuff nature has flourished well. He is the leading tryscorer in the comp and can kick goals from anywhere. I love Keating – but Humble is about a 10-15% better player than Keating now, and he hasn’t played NRL (he was in the Cowboys 2008 Toyota Cup side)
How will he fit in? Well he plays 6 outside Chris Sheppard each week for the Pride and he certainly needs an organiser around him as he just plays what he sees. A week or two back he went back to fullback midway through a game and his first kick return was 70m plus. I could see him and Mortimer playing pretty well together with Mortimer as a 7. That could be a serious halves pairing to develop for the future (although we have been there before!!).
Check out the link it is just a WIN news story of a Pride game – but this particular game was one where he scored four tries showing off his speed.

You can Youtube Northern Pride and you can look at news stories from the Pride all year and almost every week there will be a Humble try or try assist on display.
I know on this board it is common place for people to talk up juniors or ressie players who are not ready for NRL football (it is part of the reason I lost interest), but this kid is the goods and I am stoked the Eels have signed him. I hav been saying all year that he will be playing NRL next year, I can't believe the Cowboys who need a 6 have let him slip through their grasp and it is great that we have picked him up

Maybe the cowpats will sign Timmy now

Injured for the rest of the year, not sure what with though.

Hmm ! Mr Humble (No.6) shows some silky skills !

 

[pedge]

a few things with this signing -
backup for the 5/8th position
backup for hayne during origin, burt has been killing it on the wing
IF the unthinkable happens at hayne left, a ready made replacement with age on his side

just one thing came to my mind - could also be a backup for the club in case we cannot keep morts or he decides to leave for those rechid dogs!

 

[yy_cheng]

what's his defense like?

WHat's his physical attributes? Height, Weight, etc
