"It is understood he is on a deal worth about $500,000 a season, with Souths prepared to pay some of his freight in order to get him off the books. Several English and Australian clubs have been sounded out about taking him in 2017."

We'd be mad not to consider him.

Well I'm the mad hatter then. He is f*cking soft.

especially if Souths are looking at picking up some of the tab, absolutely.

We don't need props.

We need halves and three-quarters.

Hastings will end up back at the Dragons because they will be desperate after missing out on Norman.

I'd say that's most likely.

 

[Mr Pmatta]

As each day passes I feel less inclined to sign Hayne, I just feel he is quite insincere, basically "whoring" himself around to get parra to possibly pay more, I have no problem in jh going for a big payday, just stop f**king parra over to do it. Let him go....his time has come and gone, secure Norman and Manu, Ta Ta Jarryd.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If the merkin really loved the Eels he would stop playing this out in the media and just sign with us at a price that f**king helps us, not hurts us.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

He's probably just trying to get Foran money, seeing as he's a far better player. But f**k him, offer him $300K and a coke, that'll warm the cockles for years to come.

Thinking it's gotta be a Gee Up, but nospam46 has an unsourced article saying we have signed Carney pending the NRL Approving him to return to the game. Apparently it was also mentioned on Talkin Sport today too

I reckon Manu Ma'u is a better player as well. He is probably the best player in our team. The thing is, second rowers are more replaceable and less influential than halves, so they get paid less. Fullbacks are also more replaceable than halves. Supply and demand = price

Unsourced?

Sounds like it was written by Scott Merkin.

i'd get Brian Smith in there as head of football

First time we agree on something- Your alright el dribble

We need a big prop with mongrel. Alvaro - Mannah- Wicks - Terepo are all ok but not elite.

 

[hindy111]

we need to look at extending manu Mau for atleast 2 years. He will be 29 by end of contract thou so if we don't I wont be completely upset as he might slowly decline when hits 30. He looks so fit thou I can see him being strong player till 31-32.

Our middle is fine. A "big prop with mongrel" probably has bad defence.

 

[hindy111]

I do not mind the Obrien signing. Cheap and a project player. I like the fact he is getting some nrl games. You do not improve playing in wenty at the lower level. The more games he plays the better he will get. So far he has had 9 NRL game off the bench.
Front rowers need about 25+ before they start to get the feel for the game.

Well we also have Twal next year. From what I have seen he will push for a bench spot.And Tanginoa was going well before injured to.

I like a fifita - Klemmer style player thou in your squad.

We have signed Vave, he's not in their class but he is a big unit he can bend the line.

How about a prop with a big mongrel?

BTW the article on nospam46 about the Eels signing Todd Carney has no link and it will come as no surprise that it's just a rehashed version of this 2015 Carney to Knights article. Almost word for word.
