Rumours and Stuff

[Dibs]

Mate, BA is no idiot - he was most likely aware of Teddy's dubious injury record, and banked on him potentially missing a fair few games.

I heard from the horse's mouth that Arthur has a lot of time for French - he has said he has an exemplary attitude to training, and to doing the little things right, and that, much like Gutherson, French is a footballer first, and athlete second.

But then again, I am only relaying what a mate (a massive Eels fan) of mine heard straight from BA.

So you didn't hear it from the horses mouth, but from someone who heard it from the horses mouth?

Thank god we did sign Nofoaluma. How the hell did he get run down from that intercept. He had a 5m start

Yes that was embarrassing getting caught by the plod twins.

You reckon they would have caught Semi?

Shut the gates with Semi. But gee we dodged a Bullet with Nofoaluma you'd expect a snail to score that, 5m head start and he was on the run where as Morris had to turn and run

I'm not doubting your info, mate. But I'm not sure about the strategy of signing one of the highest-paid players in the game if you expect him to miss a fair few games.

Yeah, I thought it was weird, too.

But like someone else said - maybe BA just thought he would take a stab at Teddy, without realistically think my he'd sign.

Well, yeah. I guess.

Feldt is also slow. Hope we miss out on him. If Semi gets off his charge I'd be offering him $700k to stay.

 

[Gazzamatta]

The only Tedesco to Parra rumour I heard was on this forum. If there was any truth to that rumour it would have been media news. Lets face it, we are linked to everybody. I call BS.

Daniel Tupou is rumoured to being shopped around due to teddys impending arrival ... would be the absolute ideal replace the for semi

That's who I have been hoping for. Ticks all the boxes:

He's a left winger, good under the high ball, strong ball carrier and not Kyle Feldt

that's how I convinced my wife to marry me... I said "Come on babe, sure I'm a little overweight, bit of a slob and my hairline is receding.... But at least I'm not Kyle Feldt"....

 

[Wicked Witch Of The West]

My anal cavity is getting a repetitive twitch, it gets like that when theres a signing in the air.

If you really are NOT Kyle Feldt then she is a dam lucky lady

It's not about avoiding risk, it's about managing it. Tedesco is a proven injury risk, so it is up to potential buyers to decide how much that reduces his value.

Parra junior ?

Sure but the figures being talked about for Tedesco suggest the clubs aren't factoring in a large injury risk IMO. The reported figures might not be accurate but given the level of interest I'd reckon they're not far off.

Parra junior ?

Not as important as: not Kyle Feldt

 

[Agent0]

It is one of the most overused sporting cliches in our code but Gutherson really personifies the phrase 'he is just a genuine footballer'. He is going to find a way to impact a game regardless of if he is wearing #1 right through to #6. Hell, chuck him into the engine room and he will do his damnedest to make a difference. Still hasn't peaked either physically or in the mental aspect of the game.

Seriously, look at this check list and tell me there isn't a better young bloke to have at your club:

Budding young leader
Potential long-term goal kicker
Good presence on social media
Locked up under contract before the new CBA shenanigans
Revolutionary hair cut
Going to be one of the greatest moments for Parra on the Sea Eagles
Transportation based nickname in vein of all great modern (NRL-era) Parra backs

And the balls to keep turning up week in week out after getting slated by Parra fans after his first few games for us. In fact when he was interviewed late last season he said 'I think parra fans wanted me hanged'. To go from that to a fan favourite through performance is quality.

Also had the ball in hand, which interferes with top speed in a big way. Speed over 40m is far more important than over the length-of-the-field these days (probably always).
