Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and even More Crap VI

[parra-matters]

all the decent players are still decent. Some of the younger ones have gone from decent to good.

Some of the older ones have gone from good to decent. That's what happens to older players.

Ultimately though, our problem is too many decent players and not enough good ones.

bingo!

T-Rex - Dogs..

Well didn't that just ruin Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and even More Crap Mark VI.

 

[The EELiminator]

I thought it was Taniela Lasalo, Jacob Loko, and Pat O'Hanlon who were re-signed to backloaded deals

Kearney was brought in to sack merkins.

im confused here can you two make your minds up please? :crazy::crazy::crazy:

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Lasalo's definitely on the big bucks.

Maybe Kearney's 5 year plan revolves around developing and building a Laser Gun which changes the aging process so that younger players develop quicker. Middle range players don't get old and tired. And older players can be reversed in age so that the entire squad can play at their peak.

I think I could buy the evil scientist theory.

 

[Someone]

I don't blame T-Rex for not wanting to come. Look what's happened to every other decent player under Kearney.

I object.

due to the fact Sandow and roberts are rock and diamond players they arent that decent tbh.

Willie Tonga was another shite recuit, hes over rated hugely imo.

Noone the less kearneys recuitment to date has been so f**king bad, why people rated our chances this year is beyond me if you stop and think about it our squad hasnt improved that much at all.

Yep, and a good coach can turn decent players into good ones. By unlocking their potential and building game plans around their strengths and building the confidence to make them feel like world beaters....

Pity Kearney is nowhere near a good coach .

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I reckon he's doing a good job with our young guys.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I reckon our young guys are doing an amazing job, considering.

 

[Eels Dude]

I think the young guys are trying extra hard in first grade because they've been given that opportunity and want new contracts. The young guys like Lasalo, Morgan etc who re-signed last year have performed like nuffies this year.

 

[Parra Pride]

Morgan has been alright the past couple of weeks.

Bullshit, they've both improved.

We've just got better options than both of them now, so they've played less first grade.

Improved on what? Gone from being really really s**t to just really s**t? It's pretty easy to improve if you start at rock bottom. I don't disagree with the latter part of your statement, but I do wonder why they (and certain others) have played so much first grade in the first place.

 

[natheel]

I thought Morgan (despite some lapses in defence) has improved since coming back to first grade. Reminds me of jonno wright, nothing spectacular but if he left us he'd turn into a solid first grader

Similar to alot of backs we have let go

Wright - Bulldogs centre now
Graham - cowboys winger and wouldn't look out of place in a qld jersey if needed
John Williams - solid player in sharks 17
David Williams - NSW rep solid player
Willie tonga - took off when he left for the dogs
Gardner - decent fullback
Adam mogg - played well at raiders and broke into qld side too

Anyone of recent years I've missed out?

Krisnan Inu?

Inu is an exception has his good games but turns to shit just as quick as he can turn something from nothing

Reddy will go well with tigers IMO

 

[attamarrap]

This must be the first time a manager has advised a player to take less money

 

[Jake the snake]

Even you don't need to be told that nothing, unless confirmed is ever 100% but I keep hearing that despite him wanting him to come, he's been persuaded but his merkin of a manager to go to the dogs for less.

Done deal at dogs.
