Eels snare Poore and Shackleton

[PARRA_FAN]

When I first heard it about, I was like, what?? Surely not?? :shock::crazy:\\\\/

I couldnt be more happy, and I reckon there's more to come for 2010.

Two props, just what Parramatta needs, two quality front rowers.

New CEO, New coach, new players, new era.

Gee Hindy agreeing to back load his salary might just snag him a premiership

I love it when a whole bunch of fans from another team walk around thinking that they will not only win the comp this year, but that this year is the beginning of a dynasty... In June!

Talk about setting yourself up for a fall.

Come September, that Dragons forum is going to be full of irony imo.

Parramatta and St George have somthing to look forward to next year! when ur team is winning the comp (2099) maybe then u will be celebrating!
Eels ahve pulled off 2 great signings but they still have work to do! Unlike souths there onto better things next year tho!

 

[Avenger]

Oh yeah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The people I told that this would happen can thank me later.

We definitely can't have them now? Lining up against the Tigers on Monday?

Have we had someone check over the rules just in case we can?

 

[Parra Steve]

What started as Parra v dragons fans is evovling into souths v Dragons fans :lol:

this great news next year looks bright. I think some peoples love of horo could be little dangerous he has not even played nrl. I prefer to keep tauti he is younger has more nrl experience and I reckon is starting to show some good form. he is also a big boy. I would hate for everyone to be bagging horo because he is not a superstar after 2 games.

also to all the dragons supporters on here posting negative stuff f**k off this is our win for the year and let us enjoy the moment

Daniel Anderson has recruited better after 13 rounds than Hagan did in 2 years.

great news for parra a huge bolster to our pretty average forward pack looking good for 2010.
but with the two signings (poore & shackleton) are we going to lose player like moimoi now??

 

[The Colonel]

Moimoi is under contract

Moimoi is under contract

thank f**k. FFMM is better than both of them. At least FFMM will now have some real quality backing him up. Happy days people.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Gee,

It only seems a few weeks ago when the word was the Club had managed its "salary cap" poorly and there was little money to buy players for 2010.
So whats changed?
Are there contracted players prepared to leave, or did the post Fitzgerald audit find a few bucks?
In DA we trust. Go the Mighty Eels.

There was only a very brief moment of crying 'salary cap poor' - it was around the time that Fitzy was trying to salvage his job I think.

There was always going to be close to a million and a half bucks to spend to cover the final 10 players positions for 2010. Factor in 6 at around 50k each, and you're talking about a million amongst 4 players.

So far Parra have spent around 550k of that on 2. Which means they'd have roughly 400k left to splash around with - 1 HUUUUGE name, or 200k on 2 more 'Shackleton' type players.

The 'salary cap poor' stuff quickly turned into 'chasing Poore' talk - and since then we haven't heard the "we're broke" lie. Possibly that was a journalist misreading the bottom line....

 

[ParraFan09]

Moimoi is under contract

thats good he would be a massive lose
when does his contract expire?

 

[Glenn]

new accountant.

As long as it is one from Manly and not Canterbury. :lol:

Hard to fathom how this money has materialised but great news indeed
