Eels to target Asotasi, not Tolman

strange because I just read an article in RLW that has him saying he will probably retire after this season as his body cant take any more

With his recent history he will probably injure himself on the way to signing the contract.:roll:

OK. I might might just pull a story out of my arse, start a new thread, and get everyone to evaluate a bloke that there is no real suggestion that we are trying to sign........I think I'll call it, "Eels to tempt Steve Price out of retirement" and justify it because he weighs more than Aiden Tolman (note Asotasi outweighs him by 2kgs).

Asotasi isn't that big either. Apparently only 3kg heavier and a couple of centimetres shorter.

I'm a fan of Asotasi (when at his best, which is behind him IMO) but I'd rather not have him in Blue and Gold at this point.

We seem to be going after young talent with proven first grade ability that have another 7-10 years of football ahead of them not 32 yo looking for a super top up before retirement....see Asotasi.

makes a welcome change from the days when we were the nrl retirement home throwing top dollar at over the hill players and praying they would finish their contract

Gee Fifita would be handy, that bloke is a beast.

Hiney I was sitting with my mates and our kids on the southern hill and was looking at fifita coming off when w had just forced a dropout. I said to my mate, this bloke is one of the biggest blokes I've ever seen. He goes hard and he's plenty aggressive too

Mannah, Lussick and Allgood were immense today.

Kelepi 'Academy' Tanginoa was awesome. Most of his runs were hit ups - absolutely hammered that right edge. Solid metres, quick play-the-balls, heavy defence, the f**king lot.

Such a shame our forwards aren't big enough.

If at first you don't succeed in writing a speculation filled bullshit article, just write another one

All bullshit articles succeed. There are always plenty of merkins who buy the papers and are willing to discuss.

Steve Price? That would be great if we could get him!

Be better off signing Tom Burgess he is off contract in the summer and has massive potential and is only 20 just watching the NSW Cup and hes a machine like his twin brother George.

I'm not sure how Souths are going to be able to pay all the Burgess brothers once the twins contracts are up.

Meh , bit of twisting and flexing of the cap here and there , bit of free accommodation in Rustys multi million dollar pad and maybe a loose 250k accidentally left in the sock drawer by the cleaning lady should do the trick .
