That said, I would offer Keating one year, but with other clubs interested why would he sign for only one year?

Well, if a player believes they are presently undervalued in the market, they might prefer a 1 year deal at present market value in the hope that they can get a better contract after a year. Or if, for example, most of the superstars that play a position are off contract at the same time, 2nd raters might want to take a short contract and enter the market again when there is less competition

Offer POH one more year - he is still young for a forward and offer Tonga a basic contract.

As poo said aren't many hookers left so Keating may need to stay. Isn't b fallon off contract ? Why arent we chasing him

You'd think if there's ever a time for Matt Keating to be off contract it's now. There are actually clubs interested in him and not much competition in the market, however much Eels fans overrate opposition hookers.

Going back a few years at a high school rugby union tournament a schoolmate of mine got one of his testicles lodged somewhere above his scrotum after he copped a very nasty, very low swinging arm. I helped carry him to the mini-bus and then rode shotgun when we took him to the hospital...the poor bastard was in agony the entire way and any bump on the road caused him even more pain.

I've seen first hand most of the worst injuries footy can throw at you like torn ligaments, open fractures (including one horrific leg fracture) and neck/back injuries but that one particular injury stuck with me.

Fortunately he made a full recovery, which was just as well seeing as he was a prolific ladies man :lol:

Of the "gay" variety?

Just asking, am thinking about politically correct these days - not sure which is which.

think Blair joined initially on a 1 year deal for 2012, which was extended for 2013/14 towards the end of last season

About time we brought him back - he would do a much better job in our halves than what we've presently got. As he says, he's not the fastest player so he uses his brain a lot more - something Peter Sterling had to do - he was slower than other halves.

He is an organiser and can kick and pass on either side of the ruck, is a reasonable defender, miles better than Sandow and based on recent games it appears Timmy is a better defender than Kelly. And he has matured a lot more. Come on Ricky, get Timmy back for two years.

I liked Tim Smith but he was a terrible defender.

If his defense was alot better, he would compliment Sandow
