Instead he and Peni play for Tonga vs Cook Islands next week.

Ma'u probably wouldn't get a visa to enter the UK.

That'll be a problem for the world club challenge

always good to plan ahead

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Probably why we tried to sign Gareth Hock.

 

[hineyrulz]

When's he getting here????

 

[Stagger eel]

Just a whisper I heard

Hoppa - Gold Coast
Seffa - Canberra

 

[Twizzle]

Maybe Gold Coast dont have any Sunday games

Hoppa - Gold Coast
Seffa - Canberra

That leaves some money for a signing you would think???

All depends if the NRL want to put his money against the salary cap.

True, which would mean a major f**k up on our part and hurts our chances for a top 4 finish.

 

[Bigfella]

You'd hope Gold Coast - they must have the most space after the dce backflip

Losing seffa probably required just to offset anything we have to eat of hoppa

At least it will weaken Canberra

Hoppa - Gold Coast

His wife is from Brisbane so guess it makes sense.

 

[emjaycee]

Hoppa's wife is from Brisbane i think so no surprise if he lands at the Titans.

Fingers crossed Staggs. Ta mate.

If one was to list those players on good to exceptional wages that were average to poor performers throughout 2015, those that come to mind are.
Sandow
Lussick
Hoppa
Seffa
The good news is that they are all history. Not only very good recruiting. We are also witnessing non performers being exited from the club.
Looks like there are a few at The Mighty Eels who have a fair idea after all.

Well we'll never know will we? All we'll ever know for sure is whether or not we have a competitive squad under the cap.

You left Ryan Morgan off your list.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Neither Morgan nor Paulo would have been on big money. There wouldn't have been enough interest to push their prices up.

 

[Bigfella]

How did Hopoate get on such big money then?

Stop making shit up.

 

[Gazzamatta]

You left Ryan Morgan off your list.

Absolutely. It appears he is now on genuine back up money. Another huge well done to those involved. Good pick up BF.
