Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and Crap IX

[Y2Eel]

What's he said this time?

Aparently had a g at the government over the Drugs in sport (which of course he would Gillard is the worst PM ever)

But some Dicks on this Forum cant get past their agenda's with him and see he makes some actual good points about how the players are treated and how the investigation has crap all evidence apart from Trent Elkin the "whistle blower"

 

[hineyrulz]

Oh look, blaming the administration already...

Papalii hasn't said anything yet about reneging on his deal, so until he does he is still coming to Parra.

But but but it's all the admins fault :lol:


And why wouldn't you announce somebody that has signed a legal binding contract???

 

[hybrideel]

So are we supposed to not announce any signing we make at all until the end of round 13. Yeah i could really see all the fans and possible sponsors being happy waiting until then for any news while every other f$@king club in the league announces it the second pen has been put to paper.
I'll agree that this Papalii crap is annoying but it's hardly the fault of the clubs administation

Over on Sportal, they are claiming Will Hopoate will back out of contract because Jamil got released.
Only about 5 months behind with a BS story, and not surprisingly LU treats the link at spam.:lol:

[/URL]Parramatta Eels may have some more problems with Will Hopoate having a get out clause for next season. #NRL

I think Parra and Hoppa's manager need to put this to bed.

From Dec 2012

SACKED Parramatta player Jamil Hopoate says his brother William would be crazy to abandon his $1.8 million contract with the Eels through a misplaced sense of loyalty to him

Sportal is not filtered out, shouldn't be a problem.

But but but but where did I say it was the admins fault IF Papalli stays in Canberra? I'm saying they haven't learnt their lesson in keeping their mouth shut. But hey why wouldn't you announce a code hopper without a contract or a kid that has been with his club forever and has 13 weeks to use us to get more money? Do some of you seriously think this is a good look for our club because I don't.

 

[oldmancraigy]

I definitely blame the Admins.

C'mon Twizz, get the Papali deal sorted out already.

My bad it was from zero tackle who took the report from Sportal when I copied the link across it came through as no spam..

Eels snap up Norman
Corey Norman will officially be an Eel in 2014 - and will tell the Broncos as much sometime within the next few days. After missing out on Raiders star Josh Papalii, who signed with Parra before backing out of the deal last week, the Eels went all out for Norman. They have thrown a massive $450,000 a season at the boom utility back - money the Broncos simply couldn't match. And don't think the Papalii saga is over - fuming Parra officials are looking into possible legal action after the back-rower pulled out of his rich deal with the Eels

[Fifty Metre Line]

There is absolutely no way we would be paying him that much.
I don't believe it for a second.

 

[El Diablo]

me either

 

[whall15]

That's ridiculous.

No way have we paid him that much.

 

[Tommy Coco]

Between Hayne, Sandow, Kelly and Hoppa, all signed for next year and beyond and arguably better candidates for the spine positions, where does Norman play?

I am assuming the centers. We have Paulo, again signed for next year as a ball playing back rower, Reni I would say could also be included in that category.

Does/has Corey even played in the centers? Could he be used as a dummy half?

 

[jason taylor]

Why the hell would be sign Corey Norman?

I'd rather throw money at a decent hooker first.

 

[Sensai Cobra]

I don't get the interest in Norman. We seem to be ok in the positions he would fill.

Surely there's no way we'd pay 450k a season for him.

If that figure is anywhere near true, the our recruitment/management need to have their heads read. At most he is worth around $250 000. That's it.

 

[hineyrulz]

Don't rate him at all, hardly an upgrade on Roberts and I doubt we offered him that much.
