Massive Eel News!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ron Jeremy]

dykes was different, he didn't come through the grades with us and just didn't adapt to our style.

 

[Stagger eel]

Interesting that Mateo got a 3 year deal as I recall that we don't do that anymore (after the Dykes saga). They must really rate his potential.

I think you'll find that there's a few 3 year deals amongst the boys..

P.S - I love Fitzy's comment about that "particular" club, Sucked in Manly you f**king HACKS!!!

God that sh*ts me with Manly.

 

[Belly in Brisvegas]

f**king brilliant news...congratulations to all involved in securing these blokes.

Blake is one of my favs, i feel he should leave though because he aint going to get ahead of Finchy and he shouldn't be held back any longer.

Kris is the better option because he doesn't need to play first grade at the moment, Blake does, therefore when Finch's contract is up at the end of next year, unless he wins us a GF, Kris will be waiting in the wings at the ripe old age of 20 to partner Tim and they can bring us home a Premiership!!!!

 

[FROSTY319]

You beauty ! Great news all round.
Now for NSW to win tonight.

maybe manly were offering a 3 year deal as well and he wanted a 3 year deal, im sure they would of been happy to give him a 3 year deal if that was the only thing stopping him from signing

Eels re-sign Smith
The Parramatta Eels have today announced the signing of a host of key players, including halfback Tim Smith and boom backrower Feleti Mateo.

Smith has agreed to a new two year deal with the club while Mateo will stay on board until the end of season 2010.

Also putting pen to paper were prop Josh Cordoba (08, 09), hooker Matt Keating (08, 09) and lock Daniel Wagon (2008).

Eels Chief Executive Denis Fitzgerald says it is a tremendous day for the club.

"When players commit like this it shows great faith in our coaching staff and playing roster. They are popular players with the supporters and are a great base to build the Club on for years to come," Mr Fitzgerald said.

"I'm particularly pleased with the retention of Feleti as I am aware of how keenly sought after he was on the open market, especially with one particular Club," Mr Fitzgerald added.

Head Coach Michael Hagan says it is great news for the club.

"I am thrilled with these signings and am delighted I will be working with these players in the coming years" said Hagan.

"It shows how much they want to be a part of what we are doing and their retention gives us all a boost".

I assume PJ is in the same boat, ie. looking like he'll be released for 2008?

Also, is Hayne in the same position as Inu, ie. signed for 2008 and needs to be extended sooner rather than later?
