Parramatta Eels sign North Queensland Cowboys prop Carl Webb

[Gronk]

Is Feather definitely signed? Or is he a Wenty signing?

Well he's listed here as a signing and this guy keeps pretty accurate records.

IIRC he's been playing a-grade on the central coast after a run of bad injuries which finished his contract with Bradford. A forumite twittered Sam Burgess (his best bud) and Sam confirmed he was signed with Parra.

He's playing for Wyong coached by Paul Stringer, so there's the Parra link. ;-)

I'm scratching my head at the hysteria at this signing...according to some it's impossible for a player to benefit from a change of clubs.

I think the signing is ok. You need these kind of players to make up a team. I think everyone is just waiting for the big signings to be announced.

Watch out you don't get splinters

We have been missing an enforcer for a while. But Carl Webb???

I reckon most people here are just hedging their bets. If I say he's rubbish and he turns out rubbish then I can say I told you so, but if he turns out good then I'll gladly accept it because it's good for the team. How about we actually wait till next season before judging him? And remember he's not an incumbent in the SOO side so there shouldn't be any Lindner type issues

Good way to look at it. I was frustrated to start with, but now I'm looking froward to hopefully seeing him make a transformation in his career.

until we sign a halfback or one steps up for us it all means squat. webb might come good and we have a great depth of front rowers. but continuing to have one out hit ups being dominated by 2 or 3 in the tacklers, means we'll remain an average team.

Give him a go I say can't be all that bad. If he stays injury free and has a strong off season maintains right playing weight anything can happen.

hes even more useless than cayless was.

He was alright before he went to the Cowboys.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

He was alright before he went to the Cowboys.

Our game is riddled with players doing well on a second wind. Throughout all top 25's we have players getting injured, others returning from injury and players confidence going down or up. In some ways the game is just a gamble as are Webb, Reni, Grothe Junior, Anthony Mitchell, etc.... May the best trainer and the best punter win....

Mate, I'm a Cowboys fan myself (partly, along with the Eels), and saying sh*t like that is completely uncalled for.

Suppose we should have spent $450k on another prop. :sarcasm:

 

[IFR33K]

Carl Webb, the 2011 scapegoat.

FFs give the guy a chance.

its not uncalled for. its the bitter truth

The bitter truth is - the Cowgirls are the biggest under achievers in the comp - given their lineup, and having the "Worlds Best Player" in their team....

a) that has no relevance to the thread
b) i know, as every other league fan, that the cowboys have been underacheivers the last 3 years, and thurston is not the worlds best player mate, everyone knows that
