Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XX

[whall15]

Mitchell Cornish would now be available from Canberra, might be an option to consider.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Well, he can't be any worse than Hoppa.

 

[hineyrulz]

Beau Scott to Parra is the latest rumour.

Welcome to mid march.

 

[Gronk]

Josh did a story on Corey Norman buying his mum a unit on the Gold Coast. He is now inferring that he'll follow her up there.

I thought he's under contract for 2016 ?

 

[Twizzle]

He's a big boy, surely he can live away from his mum at his age, then again Josh has to sell chip wrappers.

I think he's an out and out winger, doesn't seem to have the all round game for a FB. Most good fullbacks now days are also ball players.

Sometimes when you move players around you can leave a void where you move them from, in this case on the wing.

He would probably be worth a lot of moolah compared to most wingers so I can see an argument for getting more out of him by playing him at FB but I just dont think its in his game.

Fair enough!

If it was me, I'd go all out for Tim Simona - the kid is a freak.

Now that's a bloke I could see covering centre, wing and even fullback if need be. I think he would suit the Eels style of play too... maybe because he currently plays for team that play similar to us!

He is a gun!

He's got speed, size, and has shown good skills.

I'm sure a bloke of his natural ability would take to playing fullback easily.

Come on, Eels - let's dangle that carrot in front of him! Please!

Well he did a good job for Samoa at the back a few years ago

I rate him highly.

It'll never happen, though.

Is there a link to it?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Really chasing a fullback all depends on whether Sandow is re-signed or not (it is rumoured Hoppa is about to re-signed). If Sandow is re-signed then we have no need for a fullback as it is logical norman would go to 1, leaving Hoppa/brad t as centres.

Don't know why we would be chasing Tupou especially if Hoppa signs on, unless it is a back up plan in case he doesn't. I would prefer to just keep Robinson on the wing for a lot less and boast another position ( we also have semi/toutai/falou on contract for 16)

On Twitter but I CBF finding it right now.

Do you mean the Josh M interview from last night on 7? Norman didnt say anything much about going to the GC, it was just some editing that made it seem like he would consider it - media playing games

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Josh Mossaud suggesting Norman could go to GC, but no suggestions from Norman

@Ali_Chahrour94 @7NewsSydney @TheParraEels He's a chance, esp with Eels keeping Sandow, Hoppa and signing Beau Scott.

This article suggests we will have Second Tier Cap issues before too long.

EELS ON SLIPPERY SLOPE TO SALARY-CAP DESPAIR

The season is barely a month old, but Parramatta is already facing headaches with its second-tier salary cap.

After a spate of early season injuries, the Eels are flirting with the lousy $440,000 limit that the NRL allows for reinforcements from outside the top 25. Danny Wicks, John Folau and Buretta Faraimo are all relatively well-paid ring-ins, whose inclusions have created a potential problem. Once the second-tier cap is breached, teams require special permission from the NRL to introduce new players.

Parramatta has been particularly active in their recruitment and there’s more movement to come from beneath. We’ve heard back-up half Luke Kelly could be on his way to England, with Hull FC football manager Motu Tony currently in Sydney to cast his eye over potential recruits.

Same twitter thread, in between some bloke constantly flogging off that he's doing a law degree and wants to get into the sports industry, says Jeff Robson may be off to the Dragons...that's random.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Interesting it appears Richie could potentially be debuting tomorrow in place of Moeroa. I assume Richie is on a second tier contract while Moeroa is top 25, thus creating further problems.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Who cares about second tier breaches? It's hardly a massive advantage to replace one injured nuffy with an uninjured nuffy. You only have to ask the NRL, prove there is no one else available ("We promise they're all injured") and they'll let you do it.

I assume Fa'aoso is also top 25.
