Also does any1 have a list of the players we have off contract this yr...........

 

[Stagger eel]

I was told by Zap yesterday at the open training session that he spoke Feleti's manager on Tuesday night and talks are in progress.

I've answered this a couple of times so it would be nice to keep it in this thread so we're not duplicating the subject continuelly.

Tahu - Gone to union
Tim smith - expected to sign according to the media
Daniel Wagon
Ian Hindmarsh - retiring
Michael Lett
Etu Uasele
Feleti Mateo
Blake Green
Richard Fa'aosso
Aaron Cannings
Matt Keating
Justin tsolous
Junior Paolo

All from the top 25

Kris Keating
Taulima Tautai

Are also off contract and if signed could also move into the top 25 bracket.

 

[Eelectrica]

Bound to lose a few. The trick is keeping the right people.

exactly, it will be interesting because although we should keep most there are always going to be a few slip under the crack because of ridiculous offers from other clubs.

Well from that list, We definately must re-sign:

Mateo
Smith
Green
keating bros, Especially Kris!!
Tautai - He looks good.
Pauolo
Fa'aaaaso - He can be anything if he can learn to hold the ball. He's runs are leathal and very Fui like.

The rest can go IMO. I thought we had re-signed cannings late last year for 2 years??

 

[Stagger eel]

Az only signed for a year.

 

[strider]

My hot prediction for the year (which only just came into my head - I have no substance or source behind it :lol ... Blake Green to Brisbane - where he will become a star.

I'll go to Brisbane myself and still be a star with the players the number 7 have around him.

Shane Perry is argubly the worst halfback in the history of the game to win a firtgrade comp, he's also the most blessed. ;-)

i wouldnt mind if wagon stuck around.

whilst you'd probably be one of few supporters that would I know for a fact that he wants to and his team mates want him to stick around also, they love playing in the same side as him.

Wagon is in the best form of his career, has been one of our best this season and would be eligible for the discount as he has been with us 10 years. We would be crazy not to re-sign him, unless he is offered stupid money from another team.

I don't think he's at his 2001 best tbh...personally I would like him to stay but not at the expense of a younger player.

 

[eel01s]

Is his next year (if he is re-signed) his 10th season at the Eels? If so, boy does time fly!

Do we have any other players eligible for the 10 year discount (maybe Cayless?, Nathan Hindmarsh in the next 2 or 3) in the coming years?

Caylo and Hindy have both been at the club over 10 years, luke Burt will hit his 10th next year also. if Wags hans around it will also be his 10th.

well thats true :lol:

just quietly - I'm hoping one of the papers will pick up my prediction and run with it - or maybe danny, "c'mon danny! give it legs" :lol:

 

[eel01s]

Thanks, I thought it might be 10 years in first grade.

i can see him writing it in his little black book as we speak.

 

[Jodeci]

The club will make sure we sign Wagon for his tenth season as it helps free up some money with the bonus scheme of having a player for 10 yrs at the one club

It was the same reason why we resigned Luke Burt

 

[Stagger eel]

can someone remind me how the bonus scheme works?? isn't it 100K for each club distributed to all the 10 year players??
