Rumoured/Confirmed Signings 2010/2011

Yeah i remember Hornby re-signing, and if cronk was still available im sure parra would still be after him.

No way could Dragons match what we are offering.

 

[Rogue.9]

True. But unlike Stagg, Morrison was a threat in attack - Morro could attack as well as tackle.

Best signing we made in the last decade IMO.

Better than Fui?

Exactly.

I heard parra have not given up on signing cronk. Whether they do is another story but they are still monitoring the situation closely.

Ok don't shoot the messenger here, but i'm told we're still seriously chasing orford yet the only possibility of that happening is that bradford get compensated financially somewhere near the figure of his remaining 2 years.That apparently hasn't deterred us and we're negotiating with them now......Ox is extremely keen and he's at narrabeen daily receiving treatment

 

[Ratchy]

It is not about the grant., they are banned from the NRL if they play

I assume other NSW teams would be in the same situation

Hmmm ok i stand corrected and it seems the NSWRL have ramped it up from the original decision from last year. Been out of the loop since a mate no longer goes to QRL meetings.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

He has been keeping fit in Thailand anyway, but that's go nothing to do with both match fitness and getting used to the impact of the sport. Then you have combinations, moves, defence drills etc.

That's all part of "physical Exercise"...:lol::lol::lol:

 

[84 Baby]

You would think that Reni's deal is heavily incentive based.

Clause 15. Everytime Reni crosses the tryline, Reni gets a line

Ssssshhhhhhhhh Gronk.....

The builder hasn't finished renovating his block of apartments....

The private jet is still to be refurnished in blue & gold....

The private luxury boat cruising Parramatta River is still under construction

The Bentley convertible is still on the docks.

And Ian Schubert must be kept in the dark

And please don't let others become aware of what Quade Cooper is getting because Cooper Cronk will get really pissed off and slump into a serious depression. He will feel duded just as he did when he found out Cameron Smith, Greg Inglis & Billy Slater were getting double to what he was getting. F**k.... the counseling and psycho therapy treatments alone will send the Eels broke....

The thought of joining the Eels must be terrible for Ox.....

Ben Hornby is definitely re-signed with the Dragons, so that guy who rang up is talking sh*t out of his arse.
No offence Eelementary, but yeah that guy was bogus.
If anyone was to sign Cooper Cronk from the Melbourne Storm, it would be us. We are the only club that can afford him, simple as that. And even then, unless he actually wants to leave as badly as people say he does, then we are zero chance of getting him IMO.

As things go, I would be happy with us signing Matt Orford; but only if he comes cheap and plays for one-two years at most, he should be spending his time coaching our young halves or even making way for another half we are planning on getting.

When we think about it, Parramatta have only made serious offers to three halves (at least that we know of); Trent Barrett (retiring), Cooper Cronk (0.1% chance of leaving the Storm) and Quade Cooper (who knows? unlikely).
In my opinion, Tom Humble and Brad Murray may be able to handle it themselves; they should be our long term option. The only halfback I would want that we could realistically get for several years is Cooper Cronk, but again, he won't come.

 

[Eelementary]

Better than Fui?

Oh...Tough call.

OK, it'd probably go:

Fui
Morro

None taken, buddy. I was just reporting the rumour as I heard it.

Yeah no worries, I appreciate that people tell us lazy forumites the rumours we can't be bothered looking for
Hehehe

 

[Stagger eel]

Peter Sharp - Roosters. (reported in the RLW)

* I have heard on the quiet that things aren't that rosey between Sharp and Ando.

 

[El Diablo]

be with his mate Brian

 

[Gronk]

<insert witty dig at Brian Smith>

<withdraw witty dig because his team is going great guns and we are crap>

 

[Jake the snake]

Peter Sharp is a massive loss imo

 

[Stagger eel]

be with his mate Brian

that would make alot of sense actually..

btw, he is apparently still under contract and according to the report wants to get out of it to join the chooks.

<withdraw witty dig because his team is going great guns and we are crap>
