Rumoured/Confirmed Signings 2011/2012

[boxhead]

it's not a matter whether you care or not, the fact remains that his no longer in the picture if we're being linked to us by journos than they've got no idea if you're hearing it from the certain idiots on the other site than i can't help you because I've been telling you for yonks ignore that they also have no idea.

So you are never wrong then? I know you have sources and I think you are a very trustworthy person, and I am very respectful that you take your time to post stuff that is happening with the club here so that we can have a sense of what is going on, but we all know that things can change in sports very quickly.
Again I don't think it will happen, and I think there is a 99% chance it won't happen, but you can't blame me and others for speculating on it.

I go to the 'other site' to talk general Eels stuff without having to worry about trolls, and also because it's actually a heap of fun with the people who spread rumours. Granted the majority of them don't come true, but I don't understand your aversion to the site when a few rumours from there have actually come true before they were announced in the papers; a prime example being Junior Vaivai (although that situation has obviously changed).

 

[boxhead]

yep rightio mate...:lol:

so it's absolutely impossible that an error of judgement or a typo was made? the article itself has not even linked us to him..

How often do you see those in the papers mate? I've read many articles about certain players in sport, and I've often see a little tid-bit in the bottom in a section not unlike that SBW part is in.
That is why I was asking WHO said it, but because the source said "Supplied" I assumed it had already been mentioned in the article.
I call horsecrap on this rumour and I have for a while.

I severely doubt it's a typo as they would have corrected it by now if it was, but I am sure it isn't true.
And where did I say "it's impossible" for it to be an error in judgement or a typo in my previous post? I was merely pointing out that it wouldn't be there unless a certain individual had said something about it and I was merely wondering who it may have been.

Boxhead, I'm far from perfect which is why I'm cautious with what I post unlike the cowboys on the other site and the junior Vaivai example us an extremely poor one..I read that site too and enjoy some stuff on it aswell but when it comes to rumours it has the reputation of a flea..but each to their own and I'll be watching with interest to see how correct "Ricky" is..;-)

I understand that mate, I get that perfectly and trust me, I frankly wouldn't want that kind of privilege because you do have to be very careful with what you say and I'm a blabbermouth. Rumours wise on that site....well I've seen maybe like 10% or less come true.

I read that site too...who is the guy Ricky who acts like he is running the whole Parramatta club

I looked it up on wikipedia search and it didn't turn out any useful results!

Explicate?

I think his dossier says he is involved in the media, and he runs a website as well.

The guy thinks he is top shit dishing out rumours from supposed inside sources

 

[Gronk]

I think that SBW would fit right in with the lads. Add to our structure and shape. ;-)

We'll need to sign him ASAP just in case they bring in the points system in addition to the cap. ATM we can sign him for $400k plus a shit load of non-club aligned 3rd party deals. Bring in a points system and deals like that are history.

Ricky's on a good thing. Builds himself up and someone in the know. Refuse to leak any info, yet tell all and sundry that a signing is immanent.

When the next signing happens (and it will) he can simply give a ;-), and say told yas.

boxy, settle down .... i work for a an online media company and images like that with captions on them are just copied by editors from past stories willy-nilly for the sake of having an image accompany a story .... and the source supplied bit means nothing

Try 1%.

The only bloke with half a clue is Phil who runs the site. The rest is 99% pure fantasy but it's good for a laugh every now and then.

I'm not pushing Lasalo out, the kid is class. Reni 18th man.
It is actually scary to think what kind of forwards depth we will have next year to be quite honest.....

By the way, can anyone confirm if we have actually signed Jason Seage?

I didn't think it was much, I just thought that they would only have put it there had someone said it. Was just wondering who it might have been is all, not like it matters though I guess.

 

[Twizzle]

not yet boxy, just a rumour at this stage

Thanks mate.
I think our halves depth for next year also looks really good to be quite honest, especially if we sign Seage and retain Mortimer and Humble.
