Recruitment

[Bigfella]

I remember a lot of ads from the 80s, including 'Don't backchat me fella, I know boats' (we're the boat that the fat c##$ jumps into), "Aach Chum it's so Chumpy you could carve it" (we're the dog food), but most fondly of all the Toohey's add "Parra's coming back, Manly and Parra....." (we're the team who's coming back)

C'mon Barry. We led and manly were catching up.

Here we go again, manly and parra.
Parra's well ahead but the gap starts to narra
Just goes to show what an eagle can do to an eel...

Was waiting to see if anyone would notice....no actually, my mates and I had our own words for this song, and buggered if I could remember the real ones.

i used to like

this is the mighty gavasker
in the cricket world he's a cricket star
he made 6000 runs
23 test tons but most australians dont know who he are
this is gumdappa vishwanarth
he stands about 5 ft tall
but at the crease he's giant spectacular defiant
will our lillee cut him down in half?

the rest of them is kirmani and kapil dev
and other names we cant pronounce yet

cant remember the rest

how do you feel

bump them pump them
pick them up and dump them

manly's coming back crusher keeps on coming

....

how do you feel

manly's coming back
a good try will do it
up goes a bomb too bad they blew it

the eels see a chance and they slip right through it and
mr motion goes sliding in
and you hear the crowd starting to scream

i feel like a tooheys

 

[Ratchy]

same thing...

I was also told that Beau Scott and Gagai were never an option..

we pulled the T-Rex offer from the table weeks ago as Jodeci mentioned when Moses said that dogs offered this much...

Toumalolo was actually a done deal until his brother Warner went home because he was home sick and he changed his mind.

Pretty sure that has to do with being away from the mother?

[TheRam]

Martin Taupau he is still off contract.

 

[Hanscholo]

Does it matter who we've missed out on? It matters who we've got signed and how we use them to win games.

This is more important, the club can attract when its moving along. Take a look at who was recruited, its much worse.

mate it was like 27 years ago

Ok so parra signs lussick

sandow
w.tonga
the myth that is e tonga
ben roberts
darcy lussick

(casey mcguire, reni maitua, and 280k for taulima tautai)




& will hopoate

And according to some experts here parra have missed out on no recruitment targets..

Surely this is the worst recruitment in the entire nrl history over a 2 year period?

The only recruitment drive that was worse was souths re-entering the competition

Were you alive in the 80s (or does NSWRL/ARL not count as NRL?)? remember the early 90s? If so, you've got to be kidding.

Lucky Parra got Lussick, but how is lussick any different to Poore a few years ago??

He hasn't played a rep game yet - so we won't be disappointed when he achieves nothing :thumn

 

[Eels Dude]

Poore was a signing to get excited about at the time. We've lowered the bar almost to the floor if we're excited that we've signed Lussick.

 

[Bigfella]

It was only a few years back we had a year where we signed no first grade players between seasons didn't we?

 

[Gronk]

Did we come last that year ?

 

[hineyrulz]

Did we come last that year ?

We haven't got the spoon in forthy years.

 

[Gronk]

We haven't got the spoon in forthy years.

Like Keating's "the recession that we had to have" it's the wooden spoon we had to have.

We need rid ourselves of the culture.
