Paul Stringer = Legend!

[Parraren]

A few quotes and info from todays Sunday Telegraph...

Stringer said it took one meeting with Smith to convince him the club was his future home despite the Souths prop receiving a lucrative offer from the Bulldogs. "I was gobsmacked by the place. They are so professional in their set up," Stringer said. "They've got so many good young blokes and there wasn't one thing that was negative aboout the joint."

Team supported growing up? Parramatta

Childhood hero? Peter Sterling

Joining Parramatta? Exciting. One of the best things I've done.

Welcome aboard champ

 

[Stagger eel]

He'll be a cult hero at the joint!! no doub't about that.

 

[scottyeel]

Cant wait to get you here buddy

 

[Hurriflatch]

Gotta love Stringer

but then again he was spending the last three years at Souths, so even the Alice Springs under 6's will look professional next to them

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

thats excellent! Go Stringer!

 

[Belly in Brisvegas]

Any possible nicknames for the lad??

 

[Eels Dude]

That's great. It's terrific to see a player join Parramatta for reasons other than money. Welcome aboard Paul.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Great to see a player itching just to play in the blue & Gold, he's not stupid, he doesn't wan't to play & train at Punchbowl & play for the most hated team in RL the bundogs.

 

[AlexTheEel]

This can't be possible! Is this the same Brian Smith that no player wants to play under?

 

[Johns Magic]

Any possible nicknames for the lad??

'Bega'.

After the cheese that you can string, called a 'Bega Stringer'

 

[Earl]

I hope Parra doesn't pay there players by the pound.

 

[Hurriflatch]

EArl: With all the BS about BS and no one wanting to play under BS then it's great to see Stringer want to play under BS to dispell all of the BS.

[half]

what about 'the personification of parramattitude'? or is that a bit long?

 

[CrazyEel]

He could score a length of the field try before we could even get his name out :lol:

 

[Hurriflatch]

Well he is getting on in year so how about shortening that to

"The POP"

 

[mickdo]

'Piecer' as in 'piece of string'
