So what? John Folau was playing for the Eels NYC team in 2012. He played some games in 2015 and landed a 2 year deal.....how much was he being paid? He was worth a shot.

Way he was talked up I'd guess quite a bit more then min wage. It shows it was a bad shot.
What other jnrs did BA sign along with Falou?
Bevan,Tepai,Matterson(then released)
These are just facts. Twal,Alioi where not retained. I do not care what Tigers paid. It surely would be less the Matagi or Mannah I dare say. And he is already superior to both and young. Averaging over 11mtrs per run and a 95% tackle effiecency

We need facts. We come last. We have to look at recruits,players re-signed and players let go. Then look at which ones performed or didn't. I question jnrs BA has rated and players he signed or re-signed. I base it on performance.

freddy has probably been saying this shit for ten years but it's only now that he's a winning origin coach that anyone actually listens to it

To be fair to Freddy, I think what he meant was give the players the cash from the minor premiership without counting that money against the cap - which would make the players want it more (and increase the amount from 100k)

Still pretty daft because it would entice players to join stronger clubs for less with the hope of a payday

Our recruitment and retention since Brian Smith left has been disgraceful. That’s a fact.

Who from the club actually talked him up? As opposed to fans, including those on here?

Jarryd Hayne wants to re-sign with Parramatta and has his eye on the No.1 jersey

FOX SPORTS

OFF-CONTRACT star Jarryd Hayne has admitted he wants to remain at Parramatta, and he wants to play fullback.

The enigmatic 30-year-old played 15 games in 2018 after battling with injury, but was shifted between wing and centre before playing the final game of the season in the No.1 jersey he made famous at the Eels.

After taking a mighty pay cut to leave the Gold Coast and return to the Eels on a one-year contract, Hayne has finally put an end to speculation he would leave the code and feels he has done enough to earn another NRL contract.

“That obviously would be good, yeah,” Hayne told Fairfax Media.

“I always knew that when I was fully healthy I’d be able to do what I do. It was good to personally finish strong but I’d rather win a few more games.”

When asked would prefer to play, Hayne said: “I think I answered that [against the Roosters].”

In the Round 25 loss to the Roosters, Hayne ran for 132 metres as well as eight tackle-breaks and scored a try.

There were question marks over Hayne’s fitness at the beginning of the season, but he showed glimpses of his best as the season continued and finished the year with 10 tries, Eels’ best.

Eels coach Brad Arthur has previously expressed interest in re-signing Hayne, saying negotiations would be left until the off-season.

 

[strider]

They couldnt get more players out of position if they tried lol

I dont actually feel the least bit conerned by that misguided list

 

[Twizzle]

yeh, Eisenhuth was a great loss

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Luke keary!! Haven't we proved this wrong 10000 times. Ffffffs

 

[Joshuatheeel]

You could do a list like that for most clubs!!

 

[hindy111]

It is stupid counting guys who where 16.
I mean wasnt Tepai from Penrith and Mahoney from dogs?

I'd see bigger stuff ups ones like Brown being let go by Souths.
And Maloney 4 other clubs let go so we could of signed back up.
Twal was one we should of kept. Falou was one we never should of re signed.
The rest are meh. I'd like Fuimano back if cheap.

 

[hineyrulz]

And we all know the reason Captain Peptide left and somehow made it a few seasons later..........

 

[84 Baby]

Blake Green played 1st grade for us FFS! And didn't really do anything in the 10 years until now

Brown was a tigers junior (or did play 20’s for them). So who is a better middle forward Twal or Brown? Every club let’s players go. Additionally I reckon Kaufusi is going to be a better version then Twal.
