well with Inu not being re-signed then no, if Inu was re-signed then yes, it all comes down to making sure your retaining the right talent for the right price and age too.

Luke Burt is like 28, he still has 5 or 6 years (maybe even longer) left in him, not a bad time frame for someone who bleeds blue and gold and has given us some of our finest tries since the 80's!!!

Inu appears to have no where near the passion and commitment that Burt has, potential only goes so far and as sad as i am to see Inu leave, we just couldn't wait any longer or pay the money that the Warriors offered, especially when Burt has been in the form he has in the last few years!!!

I hope Inu proves me wrong for the rest of this year , but I would have gladly seen him hooked last night after gifting Manly two tries. Firstly making the bee-line for the sideline (remember Moose Mossop's advice , "treat it like a precipice") second , did the right thing by taking the defensive intercept , but gave Tom Humble little chance with the unnecessary pressure pass. Granted he took the second intercept to nearly set up Humble , but how on earth does the slugthug Catai run him down? Unfortunately a lot of Inu's potential was linked to his agility and pace , and ever since his injury in 2008 , he's lost a lot of confidence AND pace. Have seen him run down a few times now - vs Titans @ Skilled last year? Big risk for unknown return on investment for Warriors.
Mateo is a different matter though ,has his best game this year last night

 

[parra pete]

He'll do me. IN MY OPINION he has easily been the Eels BEST and most consistent player ALL season.
Every piece of attacking revolves around him - or so it seems.
He is the go to man in attack, and solid in the last line of defence. He set the bar bloody high in 2009.

 

[Eelementary]

Burty is just as big an Eels legend as Hindy and Caylo IMO. Freaking great player and a truly awesome bloke, too.

Onya, Burty!

Inu was poor last night. Granted his flick to Humble was talent plus, but his lazy runs really frustrated me. I'm happy to see him go. Give me a cheap hard running Scott Donald or David Williams type any day for half the price and half the stress.

Burt :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: INU....

I hope that clears it up...

i agree, but if burt wasn't re-signed then inu shouldve been, as long as the price was right.

sure, but that would only be if Burt rejected our offer..

 

[murraymob]

not to sure who does these polls.Does make you wonder.

But i must agree hayne is over rated and as a penalty should have to go and play for penrith.I am sure you eels fans see this as fair

 

[hineyrulz]

Burty over INU ATM easily, Burt is the smartest winger in the comp bar none. And INU while talented is one of the dumbest. I think he will go over to the Warriors and fade into obscurity. I hope i'm wrong but this how i see it.

 

[timka4]

This poll is ridiculous. Its not Hayne's fault that the media last year made him into their wankfest god. The poll is basically asking, Which of the following players have we spoke up the most? I think he is a great player, yeh he aint scoring tries and making breaks every run like he did last year, but his ball playing / handling skills have been amazing. Which is overlooked by everyone calling him over-rated. Would be soo happy for him to come to newcastle

Laurie Daly is certainly a fan of Burt. Not sure if he's an Origin player but it wouldn't matter anyway as Bellamy would select Turner or Quinn in from of Luke.

Inu will have an unremarkable career at the Warriors. As you say, he will fade into obscurity.

Totally agree. I even joked last night that we should all put in and buy him an early flight to NZ.

Kris shows confidence at all the wrong times. Last night's errors highlighted that. The amount of times he puts boot to ball instead of passing on an inside man frustrates me.


I know Guru is heart stopping but at least he doesn't try stupid grubbers etc at impractical times.

 

[Brenno75]

Grothe would of scared had he take the intercept.

 

[junior009]

I think he would probably have run the length of the field to score a try. I don't think he would have been scared, he's done it before!!!

 

[mickdo]

gave Tom Humble little chance with the unnecessary pressure pass

I think that's unfair on Inu. The pass was fine, and Humble lost the ball. However, the run toward the sideline and being caught by the cat were damn poor.
