Surely after the season from hell it can't be happening, please tell me it's just not true

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Could be a masterful signing. He's a lunatic, granted, and could also backfire spectacularly but he's a very, very talented boy. With the guidance of BA, Edwards, Ma'u and Wicks if he stays he could certainly come good.

Edwards, Ma'u and Wicks are nothing like this guy. And Arthur may be a good coach but he doesn't have a cure for 'bat-shit psycho'.

Did I nod off and wake up in bizarro world?

Brilliant signing I reckon, it's very low risk.

Yeah a dickhead but huge potential.

Would guess he would be a second tier contract so wouldn't affect our cap.

Foran was not essential.
Siezer/norman combo would of been good.Ash tsylor would of been great bang for buck.

Sezer has been woeful for the raiders. Taylor didn't want to leave QLD.

What he has done is wrong, disgusting and should never be accepted !! But someone is going to sign him and potentially gain a very good player if he reaches his full potential, so it might as well be us.

Obviously he would be on his last chance and I would expect the club to sack him straight away if he stuffs up.

What this guy has done is not only all that you have said and more, it's also quite recent. And it's indicative of a personality trait, not a momentary mistake. As I think Barry said about him, people like that don't get fixed up too quickly.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

I've been told we are close to signing Lodge. It's between us and another Sydney club.

If he can stop being a dickhead, and maybe with time off he's realised how shit things are when you aren't playing first grade footy, then he can be a real weapon. He's huge, he's aggressive, he makes a lot of metres, has an offload, not sure of his defence though but most importantly wouldn't cost too much.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Oh well, if he doesn't cost too much...

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

It's not true.

I agree, and expect him to pass "certain things" before he can even play park footy, but I rather we get the benefit if he fixes himself up then another club.

Let's not forget other players like Roberts, potentially Barba, Packer, plus others have also done some pretty f**ked up things and got to play.

One thing that may help, is I am pretty sure he comes from a pretty good family ( think I read it somewhere, think one or maybe both parents could be coppers) rather then from a broken family environment. So that could potentially help with any rehab.

I don't think this bloke has similar problems to the others. I reckon they run far more deep. I will say that I don't want this guy playing for us, no matter how good he is.

 

[Bigfella]

He can beat his man, can break tackles, and take four or five to bring him down. He is also extremely agrgressive and can hurt his opponent.

This is all just in the leagues club after the game. I've never seen him play.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Fair enough, and I fully understand why. I wouldn't want my daughter bringing a dude like that home.

 

[strider]

At the very least he might be good for a few parra stories in the media

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I haven't seen much of him. But gee his junior rep career resume is outstanding, the kid is a freak. Australia school boys, junior kangaroos, NYC prop of the year, playing NSW cup at 19.

The kid apparently even played in 2011 in the NSW under 16 side but also made the 18's side as a 16 year old - which is amazing as there is normally a massive physical difference at that age from 16 to 18.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Absolutely. But not for a few good Parra stories.

yeah because we are really struggling for headlines at the moment :sarcasm:

 

[The EELiminator]

now some stuff said about us has been exaggerated but if the statement from the club is true everything said about semi is a bald faced lie can we sue?

 

[T.S Quint]

I'm past the point of giving a shit about whether an Eels player is a good bloke or not. I just want to f**king win. If he's a good player, then I'll have him in the team. If he f**ks up then just give him a slap on the wrist like plenty of other players have gotten in the past.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Maybe the real plan is to sign a "Fall Guy" who can take the media heat off everyone else.
