Rumoured/Confirmed Signings 2010/2011

[Stagger eel]

I would say either Crocker or Asotasi will be given the flick...

and how do you suppose you flick players currently under contract? it's an age old argument that you need to pay players out and would count under the cap unless ofcourse other clubs are looking to buy them out..

I think with Brisbane withdrawing there offer, The NRL has just lost another star to the cashed up French Rugby.

How else will Inglis fit under the cap??

well would you like to challenge Russell Crowe with that question? he'll make it happen don't worrry about that ;-)

 

[Bigfella]

I'd love the bunnies to get gi ...if they released iamsaac Luke to us to make it happen.

We could afford gi this year but prob not the following?

 

[boxhead]

I can't help but applaud Rusty. The guy loves his club so much, it's great that he puts so much into it. Good on him.

 

[eel01s]

Maybe Inglis should ask Asotasi exactly what Crowe can do for him. Especially if Souths look to offload Asotasi!

Good on Souths though, remember Inglis didn't want a bar of any Sydney club just a few months ago. Funny how things change when it's only about the dollars.

If inglis stays in melb then hello cooper cronk. Something has to give.

Either one will look good in the blue and gold

The money for his lars will count thou, so that is about 750k for this years salary cap. We should enquire about cronk and maybe someone else to make up for the 650 inglis will take.

Boxy mate i believe manly could afford him and as jodeci has alluded too i wouldn't be surprised they made an offer....cos cherry evans is untested in 1st grade

All clubs can shuffle some figures and squeeze an extra player in somewhere if they really want/need to.

Manly cannot afford him and choose not to get in the ballpark of what anyone else is offering and it wouldn't be a multi year deal. Foran will be a superstar and cherry evans is considered more than capable of supporting him.

Hmmm......it does sound like Orford will join the Raiders.

Who do we recruit now?

If we don't get Orford, we've got about $700K to spare under the salary cap.

 

[parra-matters]

rumor is JT is still on the cards.

Thats easy it we don't buy anyone else we use the money in extending some contracts by increasing (AKA as upgrading) their 2011 contracts eg;

- We upgrade Mannah's contract so he signs for 3 more years
- If Karl fires we upgrade his contract for 2011 so he signs for a couple more years

etc, that is how we spend the money. Then in the following years we have more money as the some players would receive more of their contract money in 2011

don't believe the other site

 

[parra-matters]

not saying a believe it just saying it's rumored.

I'm pretty sure this isn't allowed mate.

The news I received today is Orford is going to the Raiders and that is great news for the Eels. I think he is overrated, has become slower, is more injury prone and not worth the supposed $200k+. Over a season I still think Robson will be a better 7 next year than Orford. It was not a fluke he was consistent during the latter part of the 2009 season. Many other factors caused problems for the whole squad which effected Robson's game, and other players, during 2010. If we can manufacture a better organising 7 out of another player or from a player purchased for the 2011 season would help Robson move to 9 or 6 or 14.

We hear it all the time that when a player resigns with his club that he got a upgrade for the current year. It was mentioned this year when Hayne resigned. Also didn't Hindmarsh extend his contract with the eels by front loading his contract a little.

Not to sure how the NRL can tell a club what they can and cannot pay a player as long as they don't cheat the cap.

Can't alter terms of an existing contract once signed and registered with NRL. Rule was put in 2yrs ago
