Eels coach Stephen Kearney said Tonga would be an enormous boost to a roster which had performed strongly all year

lolwut

 

[Eels Dude]

I don't get the fuss about Johnny Mannah. Tim is a star no doubt, John is pretty average.

 

[boxhead]

I think Kearney meant over-performed.

 

[Twizzle]

and btw, lucky we have a new signings thread to post our new signing in

 

[boxhead]

I don't get the fuss about Johnny Mannah. Tim is a star no doubt, John is pretty average.

Good back-up to have, not to mention he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

Way better than Manuf**koa and his mate Peletelese.

He didn't mean anything. Those were the reporter's words not Kearney's.

Boxy, how do you know he doesn't drown kittens in his spare time ?

Yeah you're correct he's a handy depth player, but I don't think he's a starter like some are suggesting.

With Kapow as a 80% GK, Lukey might find himself under pressure for the first time in a decade. That is provided that we get some decent kids to can run hard and catch a high ball - unlike the muppets we have ATM.

That is the problem. We should start recruiting blokes who will twist your arm from its socket, or punch you in the back of the head and take your cash from the atm, not more bloody boy scouts.

 

[Parraren]

Esi, Willie & Loko all left sided players.

Wonder who'll make the shift to the right?

Or maybe that' the mystery signing...

Didn't he spend like a season and a half behind McKinnon?

 

[oldmancraigy]

Didn't he spend like a season and a half behind McKinnon?

Yeah he did - then behind Hayne, also had a Hodgson fellow in front of him before McKinnon.

He spent the best part of the early/middle 00s playing 'fill in'. He's always been a fringe first grade until the last couple of years - never really factored in as a starter on the depth charts, but because injuries abound, always found a spot!

 

[boxhead]

I was joking.

Boxy, how do you know he doesn't drown kittens in his spare time ?

I know people that have worked with him. Being a lovely person is a virtue that both Tim and John have.

Yeah you're correct he's a handy depth player, but I don't think he's a starter like some are suggesting.

He's definitely not a starter ahead of Tim, Fu, Justin or Mitch, but if we use five props next year he would at off the bench. That's an if of course.

I would prefer Terepo

Fringe first graders don't rock up 240 odd first grade games. Granted he's spent a bit of time in reserves over the years, but he's been in the side most of the time whether it be wing, centre, or fullback. They've always found a spot for him.

 

[Pazza]

Way better than Manuf**koa and his mate Peletelese.

i'd love to see Johnny Mannah and Peni Terepo as the starting props for wenty next year!

 

[jason taylor]

It looks like next year will be Burt's last. Hopefully he racks up 250 games for the club and then goes to England.
