Rumours and Stuff

[Gronk]

What is open for discussion is , what are we actually doing to sign better quality players than those we apparently have conmitted. Replacing those at the back of the roster won’t improve us at all.
Coaching staff needs an upgrade , obviously what we have isn’t working.
The Saleyatds is a big upgrade on what we had at Richie Benaud, but is light years behind the centres of excellence at other clubs. Lack of foresight under Fitzy’s reign has come to haunt us.
Really need to get some positive news out, the next generation of fans need a spark which is not happening currently.
The urbane and professional Bernie had to get on the front foot, buzz words are not what we need .

They are giving away free money to do this.

We need halves with creativity, imo - we've lost several games this season alone, despite making plenty of metres, because our 6 and 7 are clueless in the attacking 20.

 

[eel01s]

We didn't apply for any money though?

 

[El Diablo]

Anyone else herd it.?

a shepherd did

Bernie is full of hot air and not much else, what has he achieved in his time here??? A spoon is on the way and a jersey that was widely disliked by the fanbase.

 

[Noise]

Well we have already upgraded one top-of-the-roster position with Paulo.
Rumours we are interested in Korobiete and Taupau.

We aren't hearing much, which is probably a good thing. Remember how pissed of people were when every little piece of info was released to the media?
#stoptheleaks

The media are all over the Shaun Lane and Austin rumours, along with Korobiete and Taupau. There are no secrets in rugby league. Unfortunately Shaun Lane and Austin will probably be top 17

More spoons incoming!!!

It's very exciting.

Merkin probably wears a toupee.

Ok, so a club with 2SOO front rowers signs another one, no questions asked by the NRL given th strength of their roster.

Good management or good accountants , whilst a decent question, look at what we have done currently and what apparently is in the future. What comfort are we getting from the club, certainly the review may identify the failings, but at the same time we need action that is identifiable. We have a lot of kids coming through who won't be supporters in the futures because of these failings, personally would be more comfortable if a strategy was apparent. Yes, leaks etc were damaging, but it's that lack of movement by the club which is a worry in itself.

Like most, this season has not helped in the big picture, and my interest in the game has taken a hit by my clubs inaction, hopefully it's short term and Bernie and BA can reinvigorate us all.

Woods is a solid first grader, on the slide, on massive overs, whose salary is being topped up by the club that has pushed him out....

Can't say I'm at all worried about any conspiracy theory bullshit. Nor am I concerned that the Sharks got this particular player while BA and Bernie showed no interest.

Not everything has to be related back to the Eels...

Plus, since Samson cut his hair he plays more like Delilah these days.

Mate Delilah was pretty badass...she'd probably snap Sharon in half.

Delboy, no one would be bitching if we were mid table and looking likely of a run to the finals. But from where we were last season to now is a massive drop and no one seems to have answers of why and recruitment for 2019 and beyond looks very poor at present.
We can only hope there are things happening and about to be announced because if we get to round 25 with the same recruitment we have now (Paulo and Lane) Members will want answers and heads to roll.

So Hastings has just been released.

Question - Is he really as bad as he has been made out to be bye Manly.?
Is he worth a gamble.? Would be cheap.!
No doubt the kid can play.

If i was Parra id make a play for segeyaro. With the Sharks having Brailey as there number one hooker & Brailey younger brother playing Isp & will be there back up in no time. I think we could get him for 2 years at a good price.

Manly reoffered Lane a new deal to match Parra's But it was declined. Things must be bad over there.

On top of the rumours If we got the players mentioned or linked to us
Taupau
Koribeti
Lane
With maybe the players above. We would still have some coin for maybe a back rower / center

everyone in the know in the league circles seem to think that that the problem at manly was not hastings and is still there and will be for many more years yet.

 

[Jake the snake]

So is Lane confirmed ? If true, the bad dream is just turning into a nightmare.

 

[Bazal]

Hastings may not be THE problem at Manly, but the dude was let go by the Roosters with plenty of talk around the place about why, and now that talk has followed him to Manly.

No thanks.

Once again, you are yet to explain how replacing overpaid fringe first graders like Vave and Matagi with fringe first graders on fringe first grade money (like Lane) is actually a problem...?

So do you think Hastings would be a good gamble for Parra.?
