Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XX

Maybe Dellboy (and Avenger and Hindy).

It may well be....

 

[yy_cheng]

Maybe the NRL will stick him in the Titans

We are all guessing barty. I don't think he will make it but I'm hoping he does because I admit that his possible return could be like the proverbial albatross hovering above our club (as beautifully described by Pou.) However as we all know it's bad luck to kill an albatross.

Yawnion is broke in Oz, he may look at a lifestyle and well paid period in Frog rugby.

Not sure that fits with JH, even Gasnier couldn't hack it and didn't he gave a French wife. If the club can come up with a decent offer, and Beavis doesn't get too greedy, his mum will push him towards the Eels

That's my 2 bobs worth

I agree, i actually think he will be back in 2016.Just a gut feeling. I don't think he is the type that would dig France TBH. I actually reckon he will miss his family and friends and get homesick. Hayne needs attention. He will get plenty in the NRL.
If he did come back to the NRL and join another club thou i would not be able to watch NRL until he retired.

Oh and the best part is he doesn't want $$$ He has proved that by leaving.So we could offer him unders and get him back!

Going off what Seward and Arthur have said its safe to say our back line would look a bit like this next year so far providing Hopoate stays

1. Norman
2. Radradra
3. Hopoate
4.
5.
6. Foran
7. Sandow

I'd try keep Takairangi because even if he's not a starting centre he is valuable as a back row/half type

See how Folau develops considering it looks like he's getting a shot this week possibly so he could get a centre spot then go for a specialist winger like Johnson from Souths or even Thompson from Dogs who i think would be a decent signing and would come over on a small salary. There isn't many wingers coming off contract. I'm not sure what our wing stocks are like in the juniors that could make a step up. Maybe Goodall?

Would the NRL let us sign him for unders?
They didn't in the Folau case.

Penrith have Mansour and DWZ. You also have the two Jennings brothers and waqua blke.All guns.
Knights have the Maiuta brothers along with two origin wingers. Guys will be available end of the year.

yeh the Jennings brothers would be good to try get and will be looking for an opportunity which is what we can offer above other clubs although the Matautia bros have agreed to terms with Dogs though Knights hoping they backflip.

My apologies if he's already been mentioned, but Stewart Mills is playing for Helensburgh and wanting to return to the NRL. A decent 2 or 3 option who's had a lot of injuries but is fit now and could be very handy considering our current injury situation. Worth a shot anyway and he wouldnt be asking for much $ (Just don't play him at fullback)

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

My bad boys. I thought he played on the right.

He is if you watch the game through a mirror.

 

[hineyrulz]

Bart showing his hatred for Hayne these last few pages, now he is not coming back before you had him leaving as a smokescreen and he wasn't even trying to make it in the NFL lol.

 

[Twizzle]

guys, Hayne has gone

move on

 

[Incorrect]

Should have heard him blabbering on this morning about our 'dysfunctional board', 'factions' within the club wanting to sack Arthur and reinstate Anderson, a few more losses and the knives will be out for Brad....blah blah

There's obviously an agenda there.

How about on his show last night, questioning if Foran will still like playing under BA now that BA is a Head Caoch and not just an Assistant?? Started speculating that the pressures of being a head coach might mean BA is completely different to the person Foran thinks he's going to be coached by...

He's reaching now....

How does the under 20's rules work.
Davis turns 20 late this year - November
Bevan turns 20 ealry next year (jan) prior to the season kicking off.

I am guessing Bevan is allowed to play but Davis is not?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Correct

I thought You could still play 20s if your turning twenty that year.

 

[TheRam]

Gut feels are good, I have a 50% strike rate.



Fair enough mate, however Seward is a smart operator and despite what some may think so is NRL boss, David Smith. His return would be massive for our game. Apparently his jersey alone was the number 1 seller of any jersey in the NRL. Daylight second. He is a massive name and talent and that is why IF he becomes available the Eels and the NRL will move heaven and earth to have him back in our team and our game. That I am convinced about it.

You would think, but you just watch the dog and pony show that will unfold if or when that happens. I don't have any confidence in the NRL, or Parra for that matter, to get anything right on purpose. Their and our track record speaks for itself.

You can. That's why French can still play 20s next year but Davis can't.

Ram you need to stop being so pessimistic. Arthur is starting to change things in a positive way and is already making an impact.
