How do you know?



You've faced hardship alongside him have you?



Those questions might be answered with three words - 'clean out'.



Have we really offered overs though? Do you know this for sure?

I reckon if we really had offered 'overs' (ie. more than a player is worth) then we would have gotten everyone we wanted. Who wouldn't take more than they're worth?



With you lot alarm bells ring every time we lose a game.

You're the biggest bunch of whiny cats I've ever seen.

Oh ok so learned has cemented his signings that he wanted.we have the current kiwi test coach and his own players don't want to play under him.

Duffie, Blair, luke, sandow, Harrison , symond.

That's 6 players targeted and we didnt get close. I think its about time wwe start asking why. plus this year its well documented kearney is in charge of recruiting so yes he is to blame and no one else

This has nothing to do with a culture change. Reddy isn't the type to give up. If he leaves massive questions have to be asked of our coach & CEO. Kearney waxed lyrical about juniors playing for other clubs. Seems like Phil slothfield is even turning a little on kearney. Let's be honest. Everyone our super coach has wanted has turned there back on him even though we have offered overs to sign them. Alarm bells should be ringing about now

Paul is a clown as a CEO. How could anyone take the bloke seriously? Arrogant and a loud mouth as well. CEO just doesn't do that shit. Its as if he's in the press every second day telling everyone what he's going to do in a manner unbecoming of a man with that much responsibility.

Look, he says some funny shit for a colour commentator, but he's your CEO for fuggsake and he's not doing his jib properly or anywhere near it in my opinion. I suppose thats what you get when you have old meat heads stuck in the 80's running the joint and doing the hiring, rather than well accumened adminsitrators with an understanding of the game.

If Reddys performance against teh Dragons is a reaction to no offer as yet to him from us, then he can go. Everyone is allowed a bad game here and there, but if his game was just a statement to the club what he thinks of them, that really is piss poor.

I personally hope it was just a bad game and he is just bluffing to get Parra to speed up his negotiations with the club. In saying that, I think Morgan is a very decent centre and has gone pretty well in his first stint in 1st grade IMO.

So we're going to have 25 Billy Rogers in our top 25 next year then? Gee... I think I'd better find another club to support.

He's the next Todd Lowrie who is the next BK. Give him time, he be like the 2009 Version of Hayne.

I think you are over thinking this.

He was frustrated and wanted to get the team going and he went away from the game plan.

Each bad pass he threw, he was pissed at himself.

It's like last year with Mateo.

Mateo wanted to throw the pass but was told not to.

yeah and I guess they're telling him not to run so fast either.

Nathan Gardner is a massive loss because he's someone who we are missing. His explosive speed is everything we are missing. Reddy hasn't got speed and I'm sorry, yes he's been at the club for awhile but some tough decisons need to be made

You f**king dork. That will never catch on because there's already a man who made it famous.

See sig.

I haven't heard the term dork in a while... but i'll keep using that name myself for Kearney simply because you don't like it. Hayne at least shshhhd the crowd that way. Finger2lips Kearney couldn't shshhh the reporters.

Reddy is underrated. Might not be a spectacular player but he's a great finisher and you can always count on him to be safe under the high ball. It would be disappointing to see him go.

but that doesn't make him a good centre. He will rarely if ever beat a man 1 on 1.
I'll say it again, we need backs with speed and strength.

Thats why I think he is a good winger and it would surprise many but that is why I think Filiga is a perfect choice for the centres because he is big fast and strong plus hits like a cement truck and is evasive.

What happened to all those old busted has beens you bought in the offseason? Webb, Mateo, Whaturia, Hicks & the village idiot Walker? Surely some of of these old niff nuffs deserve at shot at NRL?

Word on the street is while ever the eels have that Osborne running the show quality players and player managers will continue to steer well clear of the Eels, the bloke was a laugh a minute as a commentator, but appears well out of his depth as an administrator.

Suggestions?

well I heard we're talking to Will Chambers, he would make a good addition
Wes Naiqama
Kane Linett
Ben Pomeroy

These are centres off contract. Cronulla have a gun centre in U/20's, Mills I think his name is, very good player in the making

We need another hooker as Mitchell is on the way out. I think Aiton would be a good pickup, very good out of dummy half
