Hopoate to Parra 2014

[B-Tron 3000]

I bet that prima donna Hayne wont be happy about it either, Im getting on Parra for the spoon in 2014.

Lol.

When Hoppa told the world he was going on his mission Hayne tweeted a good luck message, and said he'd see Hoppa in 2 years in Eels colours.

I think you'll find a few Parra people knew this was on the cards ages ago. Plus Hayne's been complaining about how much talent's been leaving the club, he'll be happy to see some come in.

his attempt to speed off in a huff was a classic too

 

[Kenny Powers]

Agreed. If im shelling out top dollar, id want him on a long term commitment, 5 years at least

So if he's shit after the two year lay off, Parra can look forward to 5 years of an overpaid reserve grader. Great logic.

you couldn't trust that f**kwit with the lawns

Plumber. Good at plugging holes.

:lol: $850,000 a season. Desperate times call for desperate measures. 25 years without a premiership will do it.

Can't imagine the other parra players will be too pleased with this.

I never understand why people say this.
They agreed to the contract that they have and would be looking forward to having a quality player join the ranks.

Happens in every work place.

For better or worse, i think you back your judgement

whats the point of paying him top dollar for 2 years, after 2 years lay off?

It will take him a year to get back up to speed, then you've given him a year to play himself back into form, command more dollars and maybe lose him.

If im running a sporting organisation, ive got to trust in my scouts, my development team and my football operations to keep this talent, who will be what? 22 when they get him? back into rep quality form

if i dont trust them to do that, what am i paying them for?
If im splashing out big dollars, i might as well splash it out and ensure if the kid is as good as advertised, ive got him during his prime and not being used as a quick cash fix and a get out of town quick card

 

[carlosthedwarf]

Weedler said his source was "Manly insiders" :lol:

bloke is a joke

This is like the bitter Souths people claiming Sandow was being paid $550k+. Just trying to make themselves look good for "not overpaying".

Psst.... the figures reported are crap

and psst... the players don't believe what they read because they know from first-hand experience the figures reported are crap

 

[El Diablo]

if Weedler knew players salaries then how did he not know the Storm were cheating?

 

[The.X.Factor9]

LOL@ anyone who believes Fanny Weedlers "inside scoop" ROFLMFAO!

The bloke probably picked a 6 digit number out of a hat and wrote an article.

This.

And this. What kund of noob would pay 800k a season for a winger who may or may not be up to first grade standard at that point. Imagine if the salary cap disn't go up for whatever reason. ONE FIFTH OF THE CAP ON A WINGER WHO HASN'T PLAYED FOR TWO YEARS!:crazy:

Ricky Stuart is not the coach of the Eels, and Hoppa is not the new Sonny Bill.

I dont think anyone buys Weirder's figures

but i dont think there is much doubt that the eels are paying good money for him... as you would, he's one of the best young talents in the game. We'll know in 5 years if the deal was worth it

 

[The.X.Factor9]

LOL he did El.d. 10 minutes after the story broke :lol:

He has no idea, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets most of his info from these forums.

probably gets it off Moffo

 

[Tom Shines]

LOL @ Parra for paying that much for someone who will be two years out of the game.
LOL @ Manly for whinging about poaching players when they've done the same for eons.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

LOL @ Parra for paying that much for someone who will be two years out of the game.

How much are we paying him? Danny Weedler needs to know.

 

[Loudstrat]

Wendell Sailor was out of the game for 2 years, AND on the wrong side of 30 when he came back. And he didnt do to bad. Lil Hoppa will be only 21, and will probably play some bush footy during his mission anyway. Plus, unlike Wendell, he'll be under the eye of a club, and he has asked them to help him train during that time. I reckon that's as goos as it gets.

Tom, if he was signed by Easts, your PC would have shorted from all the jizz you had over it.

Who ever believes any newspaper on salary figures of players r idiots
