Well mixed feelings about this from me. Sucks we lose a young player but would he become anything in the NRL?

contracts don't necessary mean anything.

Mitchell was contracted to us until the end of this year.

What's not to say the Storm may still be over the cap or the DOGS change their mind or Inglis prefers souths over the broncs.

rumours are rumours.

Exactly - well said.

What on earth did Ant and Billy get up to?

Billy Ant went to visit their love child Adam Ant

No, i don't have any insiders at Parra. Fair enough to throw them out there to find out there validity, but with these particular players, i personally would be more hesitant to throw rumours out there as SBW is still contracted to the Dogs until the end of next season or 2013 and i'm pretty sure that Cameron Smith only signed a new deal at the end of last year until the end of 2013.

p.s. The irony of my argument is that i would love for your rumours to come/be true.

I was aware of Smith being contracted for at least next year, not to 2014 but these days players are being offloaded/released to other clubs with a few years still up their sleeves, the recent being Fifita and Gibbs to the Sharks.

I was under the impression that SBW is not part of the Dogs cap anymore, therefore any transfer fee paid to the dogs will not be included as part of the cap to acquire his services.

Maybe I am wrong about this - can anyone conform what the NRL's position on this circumstance is?

What happened when the Rabbits acquired Burgess and also paid a transfer fee to Bradford, did the transfer fee get included as part of Souths cap?

The see-saw life of being a Parramatta Eel Tragic.
We all want that premiership, 24 shortly 25 years is a very long wait.

I blame the no 14 jersey for all this. Mitchell and Splinters have both worn it and are not the club any more. That's why we're not seeing the jersey anymore in the lineups.

Splinters, Ant and Vai Vai

The revolving door is getting plenty of use over the last month or so.

Our squad seems to be getting smaller rather than larger

hard to consider Vai Vai as part of the squad considering he was contract would probably not have even be registered with the nrl. Rogers struggled at NRL level and OHanlan, Eisenhuth and Brein are more then capable replacement for that sort of role.

Ant could be considered the only significant loss tbh but its not like he saw much NRL so not a problem with those losses.

Hold on, does that mean that now the No.7 & No.14 jumpers are cursed at the eels ? FMD do not use the No.21 jumper anymore !! There seems to be a pattern emerging..

I know im only new on here and this is probally a useless post but i do have a person who works at the club on the football side of things and has direct knowledge of players at the club and works with them everyday but he wont give me anything but just said we will be "very happy next year" and cant and wont tell me in anyway as he will get his behind kicked bigtime...!!! looks like there are no leaks anymore ..!!!...good to see, leaks could cause problems with deals...

Without beeing critical to our recruitment-Sandow is the only realy good signing-Roberts potentialy and Tonga potentialy but i wouldnt say they would even be 100% in our starting 17...
There has been a lot of better players signed elsewhere.Snowden-douglas-Idris-Boyd-Blair just to name a few...I would of expected a big name to come our way and still do.Especialy if we had all this money spare plus are loosing players too.
Our backline still needs some players IMO.
