The first really sensible post from an Illawarra fan.

and then you go and be a smartass to him when he's trying to be sincere....

anyways, well done eels. you have just bought a prop on the verge of something great. as a saints fan, it is very disappointing. you probably paid a bit too much, but oh well... if he is worth that much to you....

it's ok, we always seem to produce awesome rep props (kite, bailey, ryles, poore, etc) so we will just produce more. just keep your hands off them!


wait til you see who the Dragons are going to announce as an addition for 2010 !!! :cool:

as for this comment... well care to elaborate? what's our runners up prize??

I knew it wouldnt be long till the "$350k a year is overs" Theme was brought out, WHO GIVES A f**k? We needed to sign players and sure if we paid overs, So be it, I think we needed too.

Plus if its true about Bennett dumping players who have signed wiht other clubs, poore could be in state league for the rest of the year.

Im not saying it will happen but if the rumours are to the fact Bennett does that, eels have paid for an state league player

f**k you're a goose.

Troll thread for you. :arrow:

Now saints know how we feel bringing a kid through only to be taken in his prime.

I don't know but it seems a lot of the posts from sore dragon fans should be in the swamp.

:lol: Sorry, that is problem the most ill-informed comment ever. The Dragons, like us, have been plundered and pillaged year after year by the likes of the Roosters, Melbourne, Dragons and Manly among others. They know better than any club how it feels.

Gaba it is true get over it
Congrats Parra good times ahead for you guys
Would of loved Poore but I dont think we would be an attractive option at the moment

I m not saying it is a bad buy, im just saying he will not improve them and he will be classed as a bad buy from the eels fans if the eels are at the same position where they are now.The only way the eels are going to improve is more attacking forwards and quality backs where they only have hayne as their quality back.

And poore alone isnt going to do them any good at all

Huh...don't know when we've ever "plundered" you guys, it's been pretty even. But well done for the Shack signing, hope he continues his great form and goes into a representative career with you guys in the future.

if we win a premiership in the 3 years his is here then $350,000 a year wouldn't be enough.
:lol: seriously you need more then him . even with the dragons poore is benefiting from the other forwards and backs its not just him, the eels need more then him and hayne

Mate we're paying 400k for Nathan Cayless next season.
Poore on 350k is a relative bargain!

All we want Poore to do is team up with the wrecking ball (MoiMoi) to lay a platform for our creative players (Mateo, Hayne) to work behind.

I guarantee you if we had Poore this season, we'd have won another game or two (and be right in the hunt for the 8).

He doesn't have to take us from the spoon to the top, but look what Ben Hannant has done for the "go-forward" of the Bulldogs. Poore will be fantastic for us, and gives us a pretty strong 4-man prop rotation. (Poore, MoiMoi, Cayless, Mannah)

Well, you've definitely had some fun through our lower grade squads that is for certain. ;-)
