Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and Crap IX

[hindy111]

I thought we had huge wraps on seage?

 

[natheel]

Is there a link or confirmation he has actually gone?

 

[Delboy]

Seage was never rated as highly by the coaching staff as the fans, perhaps they are better judges. Never settled in around the halves even at NYC level

 

[Maroubra Eel]

They're all hopeless once they leave.

and seasoned veterans when we buy them back :sarcasm:

Nathan Smith broke his jaw at training this morning.

That Seage kid may come in handy now.

I don't know if it is our parra matters but a guy calling himself by that nick advised Talkin Sport that next week Hayne will be announced as a 5 year re-signing and named as the dual captain with Tim Mannah.

Very good running game but there had to be a good reason he was moved out of the halves. You can't just turn a bloke into a fullback just because he runs the ball well. The Tigers tried it with Marshall and the Panthers with Jennings. For a club to persist with developing a player into a fullback he needs to be two things:

1. Unsuited to his current position, and

2. An absolute freak at running the ball.

I guess Seage wasn't enough of the latter for us to bother persisting with him.

I think Keysa Pritchard could now come into calculations.

 

[parra.letic]

Dean Perata at hooker is a real chance now as well.

 

[Suitman]

In Ricky we Trust.

Suity

Kaysa won't be available until round 3 or 4 buddy..

We have to Suity. When he was at the Roosters he offloaded a heap of wannabee halves that were the next big thing. Josh Lewis and Brett Firman come to mind and they never kicked on. The only one that did was probably Soward.

That's right he did a shoulder from memory. I reckon Kelly will now be the 14.

What I'm hearing...

6 Kelly

9 keating

14 Roberts

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

I don't check the forums for a few hours and WOW lol. Unlucky about Smith.

14 Roberts

I like it! I have been saying for a long time that I think Roberts is best suited to 14.

not me mate, i don't even listen to that dribble.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I wonder if he is related to for Eels great

452 Louis Takaraingi 1987

IIRC Louis was a kamakaze flanker who would hit up the ball so hard that he'd often knock himself out cold.

Yes, it's his son....I got laughed at for suggesting the same during the season. Made me tear up.

I think I was at Parra stadium for Taka Snr's debut (or home debut).
