Do stolen groceries count under the salary cap?

what groceries? :sarcasm:

 

[boxhead]

well went to the eels media room under the thornett stand at 11am and waited and waited and waited and no one turned up. I did see Cooper Cronk tourning the facilities with his manager Gavin Orr led around by ozzie who was carrying his woolies groceries with him.
So after a couple of hours i left and had a long lunch, now i'm here letting you know.

:sarcasm:

Is the other part true though? I think I'm on the verge of........

Some of it is true, but it didn't happen today.

On a different note, my wife will be bringing Parras newest fan into the world this weekend.

Congratulations Snoochies... so is he the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth or tenth coming off the production line????

So what happened to the Stork? Was it caught wearing a Moanly or Storm jersey and you fired it????

If not a second rower, lock, halfback, etc, maybe you can inspire him towards taking over News Limited to get rid of all the trash spewing out of this abomination.

I waited til 1:30pm before i left it must have been at 2pm, i did pass a couple of BMW's and Mercades' on the way out, one looked like Wayne Beavis was driving it.

 

[Gronk]

So I guess we're keeping it all under wraps until next Wednesday ?

 

[boxhead]

Afraid so Gronk.

But not the groceries it seems :sarcasm:

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I heard Ron Willey is coming out of retirement.

Interesting, he's coming back from the dead.

I heard we could get back Chris Thorman. :sarcasm:

 

[SDM]

Maybe Parra can sell tours of the facilities like the SCG do(or did). Then we would have heaps of nobodies potentially signing with us every week.

 

[Eelectrica]

So it's official then. Nothing happened today. That's excitement enough.

 

[Djay]

I'm honestly starting to worry about the fact that DA is content with our squad for next year, if he is then his in for a major shock.

maybe he prefers to miss the finals and get a early holiday :shock:

 

[boxhead]

You really shouldn't worry Djay.....

The Eels board members revealed to the press that Daniel Anderson has outlined his recruitment plans to them and that they are generally happy with them, and from all these 'rumours' people are saying we should be excited.....

I wouldn't worry, he quite obviously is cleaning house of the players he wants; why would he otherwise have gotten rid of two rising Eels cult stars? (Feleti and Krisnan)
I will bet you anything they only went to the Warriors because Anderson didn't want them here anymore; gotta remember that they have been arguably the two most inconsistent players for us for both this year and last year, maybe he doesn't want players of that talent (and cost) in the team because they can't get their act together and really put in each week?

Regardless of the situation, rest assured that we will be signing more players than fringe props and young NYC guns........
I would be greatly surprised if Ozzy doesn't lure anyone here or Anderson doesn't snag the players he wants to recruit for the 'team' that he wants.....
The Panthers under Matty Elliot are the perfect example of this....with some coaches when they are not happy with their team they spend a few years 'rebuilding' so that they end up with the side they want and *hopefully* flourish.
Or so we can hope....
Of course, with how successful our team was last year and how brilliant the Eels have been in parts of 2010, the signs are looking bright for our future; hopefully, we will get a premiership before the old boys leave (and definitely hopeful for Cayless to go out on a high note!)

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

I am so let down. Who is the honourable person that said there would be an announcement today?

 

[boxhead]

I've forgotten TEZZA, sorry if you search the signings thread I'm sure you'll find your scumbag

Yer very true, probably all this talk about an announcement that's been coming for weeks but still hasn't probably getting me worried/frustrated.

 

[hineyrulz]

So today we've signed Stan Jurd,Micheal Speechley,Ben Kusto and Chris Thorman. Whats everyone worried about?????

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I think someone may have their wires crossed. I heard it is actually an 11pm announcement.
