Leuluai? He was quoted as saying he likes it in New Zealand and could see himself back there in a couple of years.
i thought he was talking to pommy media about not going to widnies.

Can't argue with you about Brian Smith, I really believe differen't type of players will respond to him. Some like him some obviously can't work with him.

Until we really know why the Eels stopped negotations we are only speculating aren't we? Who really knows what went on at the negotation table.

Why say that? Fitzy p[robably had nothing to do with any of the negotations. If you want to criticize then do it when you have good reason not just speculation.

Its Zappias call and he is pretty cluey about these things. Smith isnt our recruitment officer and if our recruitment team dont think his worth the money than let it be.

Yeah, Reading the article that was posted it sounded like Zappia was "taking care" of things from Parra's end.

Smith isn't our recruitment officer???????????

if you believe that then you are gullible.......haven't you hear DF using his get out of jail free card all the time for the last 2 years saying....

"all the recruitment and retention starts and ends with BS....he has sole authority over it".....he may not be assigned the position, but he has the major and final say in it

I attend the Wellington Batercard Cup matches. Joshua certainly wouldn't let you down.

It's starting to annoy me though that the nucleus of a Wellington side in the NRL is starting to be lost.

You can keep the Greedy Grub.

Greedy? In NZ they are reporting that he just wants what the other reserve grade players at Parra get. Do you expect a NZer to play for lower pay?

He may be unproven in the NRL (simply because he's never had an opportunity), but he has made the Junior Kiwis which is not a bad achievement.

Happy to keep him anyway. Also hope we keep Leuluai.

He has to prove himself 1st and then the money will flow, but this just shows what he is all about. And thats Money. It pains be to say this But I'd rather someone like Luke Burt playing for us than someone who's thinking is all about money. Please keep him with you.

Jake,

you can't be serious??????

and if you are, you must be the biggest fickle person here amongst a horde of fickle supporters???

all you ever do is bag Luk Burt in every aspect of his game and now it's....."I'd rather someone like Luke Burt play for us, cause he loves playing for us"

this is getting ridiculous................... :?


Yes I do bag burt alot, All I said is that I would rather someone that wants to play for Parra, Whats wrong with that. Don't make me give ya a BITCH slap.

i don't know who you would be bitch slapping....yourself maybe?????

cause you carry on like a little bitch about Burt and others all the time.....and i'm certainly no bitch.....so you must be gonna hit yourself??

that may well be the case!!!

but it could mean, and I stress could mean that Zap is looking after the signing of junior players while Brian is looking after first grade and premier league/part time players.

I'm clutching at straws here!...as i don't know the finer points of their responsabilities and i dare say not many here do.

gee some of you guys are fickle?????

i think Josh Davis could really (and will Really) be something special from ALL of the reports of his play in both the Bartercard Comp in NZ and for the Junior Kiwi's against Australia......

and now, 3 seconds after half the people here were naming him in their sides for 2005......its now like, "oh stuff him if he doesn't wan't to play for pride in our jumper".....oh boo hoo

talk about negative and selfish and it sounds like he just wanted what our other reserve graders are getting???? big deal???

Come on down, you've just won a fabulous new Mercedez Benz for posting the most LOGICAL post in this whole debate.

The fact is, he wanted what the other reggies got.

Now, thats not that much to ask for. One of the reasons the Roosters are successful I believe is because the Jersey Flegg comp I believe (I may be wrong) doesn't have a salary cap. They've therefore spent a bit extra, and brought through the likes of the other Kiwi centre, and captain Iosila Soaila or whatever his name is, and a bunch of other hombres. I think their theory would be, pay a little bit more now, bring them into the culture, and then make them want to be loyal to the club. It seems to have worked.

I personally would have paid Davis the little bit extra and reaped the rewards. Seems a pretty short minded decision. As short minded as some of these posts. One second, as the above said, he's in half your first grade sides, Josh superstar Davis this, Josh superstar Davis that, I want my daughter to mother a child to him ya-ya-ya, now that he wants what he believes he's entitled to (which isn't a great deal!!!) he's a money hungry biggot who you don't want at the club. The Roosters may be greedy, but they're successful, they wouldn't pass this opportunity up if they'd worked with him on a scholarship basis, that much is for sure.

well said and thanks mate...... :D

except your not supposed to support anything i say.....lol ;-)

i'm just that darn Parra trouble-maker/BS/basher who tries to make rational observations about the club and it's going's-on...... ;-)

and hey, your not supposed to make other Parra supportesr look at things clearly without their blue and gold coloured glasses.....

lol....some of this stuff is so fickle and flip-floppy its just funny :D
