Rumoured Signings and Even More Crap X

[forward pass]

The only one I'm a bit surprised at is Cheyse Blair - doesn't he have some potential ?
Know he's been out of FG, and may have some attitude issues - but he looked a decent prospect last year ?

I agree actually. I think with an attitude adjustment he could be a very dangerous player although no-one on here seems to rate him.

BUT - having said that - no names have been released so it is all just speculation anyway.

This was quite clearly done today hoping it would get buried in SOO coverage.

I am sure the club wanted to let supporters know that changes are afoot - but didnt want this to be lead sports story.

Nicely played Ken !

I enjoyed the bit about not wanting to name names but giving names to the herald

Looking forward to Pou's posts tonight trying to link all this with the foundations that his mate Kearney laid.

I think it's good that Sticky is broadening the pathways for our 'academy' graduates to move into the fulltime squad.

I particularly like that he has enough faith in the youngsters produced by Kearney's development structures that he can accelerate the succession plan and replace members of the squad that were signed as stop-gap measures.

It's very exciting.

Yep, and we'll start with everyone currently off contract anyway, and then follow it up with everyone still under contract but playing reserve grade.

Genius.

I work !!!
I dont sit behind a computer and check the rumoured signings thread to see if somthing that has nothing to do with rumoured signins has come up.
As far as spelling errors try typing on a smart phone.Im too busy and important to stop for spelling errors.I am very very powerful man

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Ryan surely isn't on much more than minimum and he plays with some enthusiasm. What you want from injury backups.

Paulo is a Widders/Mateo type player relying a lot on his teammates to make him look good

No we can't have any backup players because they're shit. We need a squad of 35 first graders.

i'm glad ricky had the balls to do what bigface was incapable of

 

[strider]

you need to get a smarter phone

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Wow... team morale will be at an all time high over the coming weeks, not.

I reckon the blokes with good attitudes will be even more excited about the future.

I reckon the blokes with good attitudes will be even more excited about the future.

And those that are or have been 'fringies' will be playing with a "pick me, pick me, Ricky" mentality - all good news, even for the remainder of 2013.

 

[polisheel]

Wow, do you have a link ? I can't believe it. :shock:

I read it on the fox sports website....I was just speculating on the others...

I don't think you could see the screen if you sat behind a computer.

I don't think you could see the screen if you sat behind a computer.

I think he said he DOESN'T sit behind a computer... ergo, he sits in front of one and can probably see the screen ok

 

[natheel]

I'm happy with that list to go. But I hope we have better replacements. Also happy sticky is standing by sandow

 

[Gary Gutful]

Just catching up on the news.

Holy f**k - 12 merkins gone. Good decision in my opinion. Hopefully this sends a message that we are a club that has standards.

Onwards and upwards.

Eels chief executive Ken Edwards issued a statement on Wednesday announcing coach Stuart had told the playing squad the services of a group of players will be terminated after this season.

Fairfax Media says it’s been told that Maitua, Matt Keating, Ben Smith, Willie Tonga, Ben Roberts, Cheyse Blair, Daniel Harrison, Nathan Smith, Pat O’Hanlon and Matthew Eisenhuth are among those on the way out.

What are your thoughts Eels fans?
