I would say they are more like agents than assistants, who are employed by Eels FC.

I am talking about assistants.

I'm pretty sure Craig and Anthony were on our payroll for starters but I'm not certain about others. They had Parramatta Eels business cards. Maybe someone else can confirm either way?

I doubt very much that they would either stay or be invited to step up but I'm more than happy to be proved wrong. I believe Anthony Field could certainly do the job.
I think anthony would be more than happy to stay too, he is settled in Sydney now and just married in the past year, but he has worked with Nolan at the Broncos in the past and was still based in NSW.
Why can't we still have nolan but he be based in Brisbane?

I was told Anthony was on the pay roll by a pretty good source too.

I've been told that Anthony and Craig are both staying which is good news. The question now is who replaces Nolan?

Ok, ok - I'll do it. I can't take any more of this pressure.

When do I start?

How does Anthony Tupou for six years at $500,000 p.a. sound?

Everyone have a Bex and a good lie down...i'm sure the sky won't fall and we'll get a good replacement.

Is...is that a no on Tupou, then?

Ok, how about this: there is this awesome player I've heard of. A five-eighth. Name of Jason Wehbe. Next big thing.

How about him on a six-year deal?

No doubt he will be happy to work with Kearney again but it's no use hanging around until the end of the year when the board don't support you. It's a sad day for us but I'm happy for him and his wife that they'll be able to spend more time with their family
.
I guess it's back to the days of seeing our best up and coming prospects get poached by other clubs. It will be interesting to see who they replace him with - if anyone.

Just a hunch I had or maybe there was a good reason that I started this poll in the first place? Let's just hope that things continue running smoothly and that the board and Ando have a good replacement strategy.

Fair call.
Let's hope this turns out to be a move in the right direction - I'm highly sceptical that it is though.

So Tony, are you claiming that Nolan was pushed out of the club?
Seems to be what your posts are insinuating.

Bongo is right fieldsy and Wilson are staying...

Just on Nolan, the broncos offer was a continuing offer and had it on the table for a while, they obviously wanted him bad...in the last 12-18 months he had offers from the 2 other nrl clubs and 1 super 15 club..and he knocked them back!

4.17% of those who responded to this poll did not see the value in keeping Nolan on. I know of a couple of others in that minority who share their opinion. Sadly they have more influence than Snake and Gary.

Family is important. If that's where he wants to be, then so be it.
Now have to try and keep the good work in recruitment and retention going.

Who are these unnamed people of whom you speak Tony?
