June 30 Deadline - Re-signings and new signings, rumours and discussion

[fish eel]

Is there any details of him re-signing, an Eels press release of something?

All I know is that he is under contract for 06. that's how it was conveyed to me. so perhaps we had an option on him that nobody here knew about?

If thats wrong, then I've been told a porky by somebody who should know better!

Harrison is a awesome player, he's inclusion would take our pack to a whole new level. Very strong in all aspects of the game, has great leadership skills and is still young.

I wouldnt offer him 300k, but 220k isnt far off the mark.

 

[Pazza]

If we bought Harrison it would be detrimental to the careers of H. Perenara, M. Perenara and F. Mateo.

Harrison is a proven first grader who is on Near SOO form in a very poor performing team. These other guys have potential but who knows if they are going to forfill it?

Another guy i would be keen on is M Crocker, I dont like him but i can see him contributing greatly to the team in tough fought forward battles.

I use to have a real hate for Tahu, now i love the guy

Must've been an option because I know for a fact last year the press release said that he had been re-signed for 1 year.

Must've been an option because I know for a fact last year the press release said that he had been re-signed for 1 year.

Must have been similar to the option on Grothe's contract in 04 that we did not know about. Widders down. Now Grothe and Morris to go.

 

[Hurriflatch]

actually I knew of Grothe's option quite a while before it became general knowledge but I hadn't heard anything about Deano having the same.

I'd prefer not to know and it be true rather then knowing he is off contract and worrying about him getting re-signed.

I wouldn't say no to Crocker.

Harrison is a good player however he looks like he wants to go back north. He'll try for a one year deal with the Broncos and then link with the Gold Coast - maybe unlikely but who knows.

 

[Pazza]

I think that the Enthusiam and competitive attitudes displayed by Crocker and Riddell would be great inspartion for other players in the side to feed off.

 

[Stagger eel]

I don't think we will sign a big name player, I think we'll concentrate on the retention of those we want and replace those we don't with some mid range signings ie: Faalogo and Feeney players like them!!

I don't think your far from hitting the nail on the head.

 

[Pazza]

We dont need a big name player but these guys are class, it would be great if we got one but im not going to lose any sleep about it.

We will need to sign some players, i can imagine prop and Winger will be a couple of spots we need some talent in.

 

[True EEL]

i would say no to Crocker - i think he is overrated and dirty.........

 

[Stagger eel]

i would say no to Crocker - i think he is overrated and dirty.........

he was also very easily contained by our premier league side a few weeks back. I certainly think we don't need him.

 

[The Colonel]

Right environment and a good kick in the rear he'd be a good acquisition. Tough and plays on the borderline - with Morrison of a similar style probably won't happen but I think he'd be a good pick up. He'll end up in Queensland though......

 

[Twizzle]

i would say no to Crocker - i think he is overrated and dirty.........

I hear you, and I agree

he can go to pommieland

 

[Agent Mulder]

I remember reading about 10 years back we tried to sign Nigel Roy and he said No :lol: jesus we were bad then!

 

[bartman]

I don't think Crocker would displace either of our backrowers? Has more rep experience/potential than Morrison, but for onloy one year and with their styles similar I'd rather let him through to the keeper.

 

[Phillips]

bring back Jason Hooper from ESL!!!!

 

[Agent Mulder]

After last night, If Parramatta signed Crocker the Shocker i would kill Smithy.

 

[Stagger eel]

we won't be signing him mate. no need to worry.
