if it's true i will just about give up League...................... :evil:

but - at least he will play some good football there and be given the opportunity to do so and will most probably win a premiership

gee i hate to admit that other clubs are much smarter than my own and much better at spotting talent and roleplayers than my own :evil:

So they get rid of Jamie Feeney and sign Hoppo...doesn't make sense?????

makes sense to me....Hopkins is a better player than Jamir Feeney and much more versatile and more skillfull

Bulldogs are not dumb enough do that surely. They don't buy rejects like we do. They buy players with Talent such as Tonga and Ryan but rejects noooo thats left to clubs like us to employ. Although this year brian Smith has not signed any rejects, maybe things are changing.

As a dispassionate observer I'm with Belly on this one. Hopkins always looked to me as though he was on the edge of a brain explosion, much like Stuart Kelly.

Feeney is nothing more than solid but at least he's dependable. I'd take him over Hopkins.

I hate to say it but the wheel might be turning for your mob. It looks like your recruitment might be spot on this year, especially getting Morrison. He's a super signing. The only question mark is how effective Tahu will be without Gidley on the inside. Bet you wish you still had Tonga to set him up.

Although he would not get a run in our top 17 (Marsh and Riddell are the possible hooking combination; Hindmarsh, Morrison, Wagon, Afamasaga and Mateo in the back row equation), I'll miss him.

He always gave 100% and had talent too.

Good luck to you Lee. And don't forgte us here at Parramatta when you're watching the Eels' Grand Final victory lap!

:D

I wouldn't regard the source as being overlly reliable, but I'm definitly not asking you to believe me either.

The Perenara brothers came in a package. No Henry = No Marcus.

Mate once we see Marcus we will be glad we signed Henry. I dont mind Henry looked ok in the dragons premier league final.

I'm aware of that.

What I'm saying is that Henry should be classified as a 'reject' signing - St' George didn't want him, and the ONLY reason we signed him was to lure his brother over.

Yep Just saying thats all. But Hopkins signing with Bulldogs. I guess he wants to stay in the game a bit longer and Iam pretty sure he will get a good run. True EEL this is for you. Stoppp windging. There is a difference about saying your opinion and just bagging the club. We cant keep everybody and surely you would have Morrison over Hopkins. Just a thought.
