Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and Crap IX

[Twizzle]

nice

 

[spiderdan]

Loko's signing will be announcement shortly by the club

good news. hopefully he and hayne announced within a week.

thanks for the update.

 

[spiderdan]

and? boxhead walters could make more impact for us than matt keating at the moment

hahaa ok fair. got me there.

 

[oldmancraigy]

It'll be Hayne, Loko and Joel Thompson all announced together.

Unfortunately the Eels mistakenly gave the Raiders the right to match the contracts of all 3 by round 13. The Raiders will do so, and acquire all 3 guys. Next season the Raiders will win the premiership, but in the off-season get busted for cheating the cap. The NRL will let them restructure all their contracts as long as they lose on high paid guy.
They cut Papali and cheat on with everyone else.

Oh well, that's life I guess.

There'll be mass hysteria here if we sign hayne....

We should cut him loose while we can.

 

[Gronk]

Hayne ? He's a bit of a myth TBH. I hope we don't blow too much cash on him. This bloke will overtake Hayne as the star of the team IMO. Click on the image for a link to his 2011 highlights video.

Top sides can carry multiple big name players!

Here lies the problem with us then ! ;-)

That Hoppa guy is a pretty good winger.

Agree....that kid will be an absolute beast and the time off will be a bigger benefit than hindrance due to his body being injury free and refreshed.

Exactly!

the really good ones can carry multiple contracts!

He''l also have no match fitness and probably out of touch with the game so much. I am not expecting anything much from him.

 

[attamarrap]

Hayne has signed

 

[Eels Dude]

Don't think he needs 'refreshing' at his young age either. Surely for guys in there early 20's the more football they play the better. Given he's signed just a two year deal I hope it doesn't take him a full season just to get back into the swing of things, which is a possibility.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Loko had almost two years out and came back fine - hoppa at the same age shouldn't have much problems after a good offseason

 

[natheel]

So 2015 we have sandow, lussick, hoppa and hayne. That's a bit of $$$

Props to you, Gronk. A video link inside an image. I've never seen that before. This interweb stuff is cool.

On a side note... Hoppa does have a big face. And a very small right shoulder. What side should he play?

 

[Bigfella]

I have studied the photo carefully and his shoulder is fine.

It's just that his tie is really really heavy.

Yeah - after paying those blokes we've only got another $3.5million to splash around on the other 21 blokes.

Can't see how we'll possibly round out the top 25 squad at well over $150k each...

[that's assuming the salary cap doesn't rise in the next 2 years]
