Rumours and Stuff

[I'm a loser baby...]

Alvaro can kick.

What, from the wing?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

What, from the wing?

From Mittagong. Right in the middle of Ivan territory.

 

[Happy MEel]

What, from the wing?

From fullback...you’re forgetting we’re running with 13 of them next year.

Then I hope someone does the decent thing and warns him about Haynzy.

Hard to believe that Twiz hasn't banned him.

Twiz can only follow the rules. The fault lies with whichever idiot failed to state that murdering a bunch of people was against forum guidelines.

Who cares. Brisbane are finals pests. Sure they get there but since when have they done anything meaningfull in the finals. Honestly with there money and power its embarrasing not to win it atleast every 6 yrs imo. There a bit of a laughing joke nowdays. And they have little chance next season too.

On Hayne.
This is how I see it. Haynes manager rings around.
Parra who arent interested say well lets play this guy a little. Sure we are interested and throw a few bones. Then when things heat up leak it to media only to offer him a shit deal. He is made to look stupid and Eels pay him back for dishing on the club in 2016 saying no offer was made and hadnt worked for a month.
Just do not see eels wanting him. I reckon maybe management just playing a bit of a business lesson and tarnishing his name.

I would hope our management is more professional than that. And I reckon they are. I get the sentiment but I think the interest from us is genuine. Hayne is probably coming home.

 

[hindy111]

Not sure.......
He dished on our club. He said was no offer. Wouldnt suprise if we played him at his own game.
But yes at 400k he is a steal.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

We should sign him twice.

I would truly hope that our management would not even contemplate something so petty.

This one's in the 15%.

It made sense when i had 2 craftt beers

I think it will depend on how long Guth is on the sidelines. If it’s a game or two then you’re probably right. Anything more though, I’d want to get off to as strong a start as possible. For mine, that means

1. Hayne
2. French
3. Taka
4. Jennings
5. Auva’a

Not sure Hayne has the work ethic for fullback these days. But if Hayne does come back we'll have a very good backline, and if Semi returns it'll be dynamite, but only IF we have a couple of big boppers up front creating room for them to work. How would this be for a backline?

1. Gutho
2. French
3. Jenko
4. Hayne
5. Semi
6. Norman
7. Moses

A backline of that reminds me of the backline we had in the 80s. Back then we always had big boppers up front punching out the metres and played in 5 gfs and won 4 in 6 years.

 

[Glenneel]

The thing about incentives is that they don't really protect the club's cap position because they are included under the cap if they are expected to be achieved in that season.

Hayne played 17 NRL games and represented NSW this year, so if the incentives in his contract included number of NRL games or getting picked for Origin then they would be included under the cap even if he didn't end up achieving them. We would obviously be off the hook for the actual money in that case (i.e. we wouldn't have to pay it), but we would still be stuck spending the cap space.

Pou, I would assume Club has factored in the potential bonus payments in current years cap, unless they are paid the following year. To me bonus payments protects the club from paying for sub standard performance plus encourages player to perform unless completely unmotivated. If so best to piss them off completely.

 

[Glenneel]

Poor. Give them the Hoff back

Agree Hindy, what about Hoff and Taka back? Hands off the French!!!

Taka covers too many spots. Foolish to let go.
Hoffman as i said when signed him. Not needed and 3 yrs was too long.

You do know we’re no longer in the 80s? Or should I say opponents are no longer in the 80s?

Terepo has been explosive in the world cup. People thinking he wont knab a top 17 spot have rocks in their head. If fit he is in our top 17.
