Justin Poore ready to pull pin on Dragons

[Hollywood Jesus]

WOW. :roll:

Last few games???? Therein lies the problem.

Suity

Why is this any different from HaHa?

She's played probably 3 decent games in the last 2 years yet because they were all in the last month she's all of a sudden untouchable.

 

[Stagger eel]

LOL. :lol: Legend???? Legend is a fairly over used word. Bradman, Dawn Fraser, Jack Brabham, Eddie Charlton, Clive Churchill, Ron Barassi etc........are legends
Cayless??? :lol::lol: Maybe in your eyes.

Suity

well, I'm sure he's a legend in plenty of peoples eyes, despite his lack of form in the last 12 to 18 months he still captained NZ to a WC win, played over 20 tests for NZ, over 200 odd games for Parra over a 12 year period and has captained our club for nearly a decade, played in a grand final and several finals series.

I don't have a problem regarding him as a club legend and i'm sure tey'll be plenty that feel the same way.

Here here! How could you NOT call Captain Cayless a legend!?!

Good for you.

As I said, "legend" is an over used word. Club legend, which you didn't say the first time, is different.
Kenny was a legend. Price was a legend. Cronin, Thornett, Sterling, Lynch, O'Reilly were all legends. Hindmarsh is close, if not already there.

Cayless? Meh.

Suity

 

[Fathead]

I reckon the eels should make a deadline in the next week. It is very clear he doesnt want to leave the dragons and doesnt want to go to the sharks.
This will force his hand.

He either accepts the eels offer or takes a chance with the Dragons coming up to scratch.
If he holds out then the Dragons might just turn around and say to him well the offer has been reduced by another 50K.

Poore then has the option of either -
1. Accepting the Saints revised offer or
2. Going to the Sharks or
3. Come crawling back to the Eels via his manager and asking for the original deal to be placed back on the table. We then re offer a reduced deal.

We have to stop giving these player managers all the power !!!

no worries suity, when Cayless is inducted in the clubs hall of fame i'm sure your letter to the board dissaproving your decision will be taken into consideration.

in the meantime we'll agree to disagree.

Have we withdrawn our offer ?

not a bad idea..

he's also holding several frontrowers who are already off contract to ransom, they're all waiting for him to make decision be the musical chairs start to take affect.

 

[Fathead]

Have we withdrawn our offer ?

I actually meant if it drags beyond the next week !

 

[Stagger eel]

Have we withdrawn our offer ?

not as fr as I've heard however there are some back up plans if Poore doesn't come off and i know Matt bell is one of them.

 

[Fathead]

I mean just how long are we going to wait ?
The more we wait the more desperate we are looking and the more power he has to hold us to ransom.

 

[caylo]

Father head if you said to a player ill pulling my offer in 2 weeks and his is genuine about makeing a move but unsure then he will just move on. I would give him a deadline but remember the old deadline used to be july 1st, a few years ago we couldnt even negotiate with Poore yet.

I would consider Cayless a legend if he led Parramatta to a premiership though.

Nice try at putting words into my mouth. You've done a MITS there.
Hall of Fame? Yeh, he'll probably get there. Would I begrudge it? No.

Furthermore........

Loyal? Absolutely.

Consistantly above average or great? No way. Long hall toiler at best.

Legend? Not on my list, and not compared to those who have passed before him.

Deserved of Hall of Fame status? Yes, probably, but mainly due to longetivity and loyalty.

He has been quoted more than once in stating that he doesnt want to leave. It is quite clear that he is just hedging his bets.

We just have to take the high ground here and there are players out there who actually want to come to the eels !!

We have made an offer and must have a dead line on it !!!

well..it's sort of a Cat and Mouse game atm, everyone's waiting to see what the big cheese is doing before they make their move, Poore may well be holding 3 clubs to ransom but have you noticed that the following frontrowers have yet to sign with any clubs yet..

Matt Scott
Mat Bell
Shane Shackleton
Mickey Paea
Nate Myles
Josh Cordoba
Junior Paulo
Matt white
Jeremy Latimore
scott Logan
Kade Snowden
Ben Ross

and probably a few others I can't think off atm..

well suity, you've spent a great deal of time laughing at my opinion of him being a legend, and then gave us examples of other sports stars, so I do agree as a rugby league player and a club legend he's no Micky Mantle, Roger Federer, Pele or Tiger woods but he still makes a good footballer.

i don't have a problem with you thinking otherwise suity.

Hey Stagger are you aware if we are even talking to Matt Scott?

The media have so far only linked us to Poore, Shackleton & Bell from memory.

I know we'd be a long shot to convince a Qlder to relocate to NSW but it seems very odd that the Cowboys haven't wrapped him up yet.

his name was linked to us, yes.

but I guess that depends on what Poore does, whether he decides to stay and who our next choice after poore is.
