Maloney looking at the Eels?

[Warmess]

*Site and quote removed*

I really hope we don't lose Maloney. I think if we found him a decent partner (and a decent coach!) we could have a really good halves combo.

Or maybe we're looking at Godinet and Johnson for the future?

Wouldn't be fussed either way to be honest. If he stays then good, if not then meh.

The Warriors have already told him they're taking up the option for next year haven't they?

In an case, I can't see him being here after 2012 so maybe the option isn't worth it if he's made that clear to the club.

Wouldn't be fussed either way, but would like to know either way asap.

Why do you want to know asap?

 

[Mighty Mick Cronin]

come home Sterlo !

Well, we need to get on with forming a halves combination for the future. If we know that Maloney isn't going to be a part of it, that might have an effect on the decisions we make- signings, selections etc

Fair enough.

If it does come to light that Maloney is leaving, I'd still want him playing at 6 because he's the best option we have and we need to start winning games.

But with Seymour out of favour (until the team is named today I suspect) I certainly would rather have Godinet, John or Johnson in the number 7 jersey.

Was just checking you weren't planning a tattoo or anything similarly creepy.

haha yeah I was going to get his face tattooed on my back saying 'Maloney, Warriors five-eighth 2012'

I'd be a bit gutted if we lose him. My jury is still out on John, Johnson & Godinet are untested. So it would be very foolish of the Warriors, to let Maloney go.

I think Hohaia, Heremaia & Maloney have heard that the Warriors are extending Cleary's contract.

I like Jimmy, he offers more at 6 than 7 though. He needs a good halfback or a PJ Marsh type hooker to run around.

Still, the Geelong home for Geriatric league players must be getting excited, could be yet another juicy offer coming from Beasley Ave :sarcasm:

Agree with this 100 %

I believe the option is in the clubs favour. I wouldn't be surprised at the end of that that he is off back to Sydney. He's gone through a lot of personal tragedies the past year or two, losing his father and then his uncle to the same disease in quick succession. The feedback I have got is that he is keen to move on, but I believe he still has that year he's got to go through. I believe if the Central Coast were admitted to the comp he'd be trying to get in like flynn there. The Tigers are another I know he'd be keen on if an option ever came up there.

Short term I believe he'll be here till the end of 2013. I think though the chances of him staying beyond that are close to 0.

I've always thought this, but it's only a hunch. He strikes me as someone who will be grateful for the opportunity we gave him, but also someone who would much rather be playing in his own country. That's nothing against the guy - it's just the way things work in pro sport sometimes.

 

[Judd]

I feel sorry for Maloney...trying to play behind a marshmallow pack. Taai will add some starch though.

 

[Stagger eel]

rumur has it that sterlo is homesick and wants to be close to his mother
