Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and Crap IX

[Bigfella]

Ben Roberts on a pie and a coke showed more than corey did round 1

I don;t quite get it either but I guess Nolan probably knows a lot about him

 

[eels_fan]

I certainly think he could/will become a more consistent player than Roberts, and is younger, but certainly that price must be wayyy off.

With the increase in the cap - certainly no more than $300k.

Roberts & Kelly are off contract, i can see Roberts going and Kelly retained as an interchange half/hooker.

 

[The Colonel]

Purely a utility player at best. Is not a half. Is a capable fill in at fullback. I'd be happy with him at centre but struggle to see where we place Hopoate, Kelly, Morgan and Loko if this is the case.

 

[Jake the snake]

Norman has got nothing not even worth 50k, seriously it's got to be a joke!!!!

Expect @TheParraEels to announce Corey Norman signing from @brisbanebroncos soon... hopefully he won't "do a Papalii"

 

[Snoochies]

But Hoppa is leaving us remember, he's not happy.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Is it 1st April ? There is no way Norman is getting $450k a season - more like $450k over 3 years

Re: Norman

This is from Rnd 7 last year

Surely that's not the money per year we have offered. He will hardly get a match tbh maybe he will be a bench player as we will probably let Ben Roberts go

Norman is not that good.
He's an ok fullback, but we don't need anyone in that position.
If he's been signed to play in the halves then we're in trouble.

Would rather Hayne there to be honest...and I don't really want Hayne there.

 

[Tony Bongo]

I don't believe the figure rumoured and although others are saying he will end up at 5/8 should he come, I'm still guessing that the plan would be to play him at fullback. I think they would keep Kelly but I'm not sure what they will do with Roberts.

 

[gustarny]

Thats why all of us are supporters and are not the ones recruiting players.I will give my opinion on Norman however.I am excited about his potential signing ,and see him becoming a top class 5/8 he is upwards of 95kg and is very mobile,strong in defence and seems to have a lot of time when he has ball in hand and is very cool under pressure.Add to that he has a good left footed kicking game.I see him as a blend somewhere in between Fittler and Sutton.Only time will tell.

He's a 5/8 bro. Played 23 games @ 5/8 in 2012, and a few at FB when Hoffman was injured.

Scored 10 tries in 2012, 14 try assists.

23 years old in 2013.

Has played 46 FG games already.

Norman and Sutton mentioned in the same sentence as Fittler. That'll do me.

I thought I read recently that the Broncos moved him to FB this year in an effort to keep him. In any case I see him as a potentially good signing for us if he comes. I still think he is a better ballrunner than a playmaker.

Mate can you read? I see him as a blend between Fittler and Sutton in playing style and size.Time will tell.What is your opinion? you Goose.

 

[natheel]

Is June close to re-signing. That the-insider is saying in the NRL rumoured signings he is positive hayne won't stay....I don't believe him but still thought he would be signed by now

 

[Avenger]

I think Stuart and Nolan know a little bit more than all of us put together. I'll take Norman over Roberts anyday if that is the choice. I just hope we don't lose Kelly. He shows good things on the field.
