Rumours and Stuff

So is Vave our replacemnt for Junior Paulo? If so, I'm happy.

What if he's not replacing junior - just a signing ... not so happy?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Can do a similar job to Junior IMO on about a third of the money. Plus he's not a DH.

It's a good result if true, shows BA and his brains trust know what they are doing. Got to be smart with the cap to keep a decent squad together

 

[Gary Gutful]

Which merkins Gaz? And where is the truth needed? I've checked out the Board thread, but there's not much action there...

F**ken fat fingers keep pressing quote instead of edit.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I was just trying to talk things up and get a bit of action going.

You are right. Nothing really much happening tonight except Hiney sharing all of the private PMs that I sent him.

ARU officials have met with Jarryd Hayne’s management
June 30, 20168:23pm

WHEN he’s done strutting his stuff for Fiji in the Rugby Sevens, we may see Jarryd Hayne in the Super 15.

Channel Nine’s Danny Weidler reported the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) has had more than one meeting with the 28-year-old’s management in the past fortnight to try and gauge his interest in playing the 15-a-side game for a Super Rugby franchise.

Hayne represented NSW and Australia in rugby league before trying his hand at American football with the San Francisco 49ers. He then spectacularly quit the NFL earlier this year to announce he would be chasing another dream to win gold at the Rio Olympics with the Fiji Rugby Sevens team.

Hayne had little impact in his Sevens debut at the final World Series event in London, and is far from certain to be named in Fiji’s final 13-man Olympic squad to go to Brazil. The South Pacific nation claimed the World Series — their second in a row — and is heading to the Olympics as the gold medal favourite.

However, if Hayne was to take up an option with the ARU and play for one of the five Australian Super Rugby franchises, his eligibility for the Wallabies would be up in the air given he has already represented Fiji in the seven-a-side format.

There’s been plenty of speculation as to what Hayne’s future holds after his Sevens adventure, with most predicting a return to the NRL with either the Sydney Roosters or his former club Parramatta.

The ex-Eel is reportedly on a flight back to Sydney from Fiji this evening alongside winger Semi Radradra.

Fiji Rugby Sevens team manager Rob Kauvesi confirmed the former San Francisco 49ers NFL player had been given permission to take a short break.

“He is heading home to visit his family and will be back on Monday,” Kauvesi told The Daily Telegraph.

Radradra, meanwhile, has been in the country of his birth spending time with his family for nearly two weeks after Parramatta granted him leave.

He is set to train with the western Sydney club on Friday in its final session before Saturday’s game against the Sharks.

Hayne tweeted a bizarre video appearing to mix both his and Radradra’s faces on Thursday evening.

Why would Hayne go to the Stupor 15 if he cant play for the Wannabes??? They only get chump change.

Can the ARU still top up his salary though?

 

[Bazal]

I'm not sure if they count Sevens as representing another nation or not, it may be a loophole they can exploit...but to be perfectly honest he's not shifting Folau from fullback anyway, and he's not a flyhalf...he'd have to learn inside centre. Reckon he'd come back the to NRL or take the cash in France before he played Super Rugby.

Not if he isn't playing for the Wannabes.

Hayne is 4 times the player that massive log Falonk is, would walk into the fullback spot fully fit.

I'm sure the NRL don't want to see Hayne go the super 15. I can see them being active like they were with Fal... Oh wait.

Semi Radradra claims Eels still owe him $125,000 in third-party payments
Rebecca Wilson, Dean Ritchie & Christian Nicolussi, The Daily Telegraph

SEMI Radradra claims he is still owed $125,000 in third-party payments over and above his $250,000 salary even though Parramatta are *adamant the star winger is not owed a cent.

Radradra said he was promised the money and that was part of the reason for his walkout on the club two weeks ago.

An angry Radradra returned to Sydney on Thursday night but he is no longer permitted to live in his Telopea townhouse, and has instead been forced to reside in the club’s apartments, which are nicknamed The Bronx. But the club has now agreed to upgrade his accommodation and he is likely to move again next week.

An AVO taken out by the woman living in the townhouse, Perina Ting, is the reason *Radradra is forced to live elsewhere.

Radradra reconsidered his future after telling teammates and friends he was moving to France to play rugby on a $35,000-a-week deal. The NRL threatened him with Supreme Court action if he went ahead with the rugby move, forcing him back to Parra, where he is understood to be desperately unhappy.

The Eels initially indicated Radradra had gone home and would return with his dad, Samisoni Waqavatu, who had been ill. It turns out Samisoni had been battling nothing more than a bout of asthma.

DE GOIS TO STAY AT PARRA

PARRAMATTA hooker Isaac De Gois has all but signed a new two-year deal to remain at the club.

Even before Nathan Peats was forced out of the club, De Gois had plenty of appeal with officials because of his work rate and cheaper price tag.

Meanwhile, Cody Nelson, the back-up hooker who will also feature against Cronulla this weekend, was part of the winning team at the Eels’ golf day on Tuesday.

Nelson’s team of four went around the lovely but tricky *Riverside Oaks with a score of 16-under. Yes, 16-under.

John Grant would pay him to play for the Waratards if it meant he couldn't play for Parra

 

[strider]

Lord Mandella should consider turning golf pro

 

[eels_fan]

Serious, Semi can get stuffed

The club is providing him with accommodation (but it's not good enough for him, guess village life was like the Hilton), has from what we've heard been supporting him & his ex and child. We owe the prick nothing.

If he's so angry at the club, and so unhappy being with us, make him live in 'the Bronx' and play for Wenty each week.

 

[Gary Gutful]

16 under in an ambrose isn't that impressive.

 

[hineyrulz]

Why do the Eels owe Semi in 3rd party payments where clubs can't guarantee them???

 

[strider]

Its more impressive than 16 over
