Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XVI

[Chipmunk]

I will be very surprised if Seffa is here next year

Really, is this a possibility?

 

[B&G]

Ma'u re signed till 2015, this looks like another extension. He has been hugely impressive.

Sort of.

Impressive with his hard running and aggression, but really needs to improve his defence.

 

[natheel]

Very happy with those 3 re-signings

 

[Eelementary]

Interesting that Toutai was re-signed - I guess that means Sio is gone?

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Vai is a great backup. He always puts in. From what i've been told he's a nice fella too.

Someone on here said that Vai goes really well at centre. If anything he could be the next choice if one of our centres is injured. I'm tipping Ryan Morgan to be released to the Raiders. Sticky had massive wraps on him. It's a shame if Sio leaves. He is a very competent winger but maybe Fabian Goodall is the preferred option going forward.

I trust Arthur's judgement.

Goodall is a future rep. If you like Semi R, then you will love Goodall. Future is very bright for our team if we are smart about retention of players. The likes of Sio and Joseph Paulo whilst above average - are expendable.

Sio is obviously in the top two wingers at the club (top four if you include Hayne and Hopoate) but the decision to re-sign him is also dependent on the other wingers already contracted for next year. That includes Toutai, Goodall and Faraimo.

With these guys already on the books there just isn't much need (or room) for Kenny Sio. That money can be better used elsewhere.

this only mentions Edwards and Ma'u http://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2014/06/05/eels_enforcers_re_sign_with_parramatta.html

edit: Vai is there too

IMO, Toutai is a good natural centre - strong and powerful, just fast enough to create havoc, and good at getting balls away to his winger.

Maybe he is Willie's understudy? Could certainly do worse.

I am a fan of Sio's, but I reckon Goodall will be our next big thing. He's a freak.

Goodall's highlights, he's a beast:

[Twizzle]

younger version of semi

 

[eels_fan]

Looks a great prospect. Great turn of speed for a big guy

 

[Eelementary]

Goodall is still a bit raw, but he's young, big, strong and fast. He has all the ingredients to be Semi Mk II.

 

[Y2Eel]

Keep Sio as a backup fullback.. Play him at 1 in NSW cup he is better then Hunt..

 

[IFR33K]

Goodall will make a great back rower.

already out growing those knees hey?

He will also cost a shitload more. Sio will be too expensive to be a backup. He is a genuine first grader and if we don't offer him a top 17 spot (and contract) he will sign elsewhere.

That video made me smile the whole way through.
What a talent.
:shock: @ 0:42.


On an unrelated note, why do the people who make all those kinds of highlights videos always put some crappy music playing over the top?

He would be worth it as he could cover any of the wing or fullback spots..
