Rumours and Stuff

[I'm a loser baby...]

Rumour has it that in my opinion the hooker should now be called the BOW.

Better Off Wanking?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Benji Marshall? Still pretty good, tonnes of experience, cheap as chips. I'd rather be playing him this week instead of Field. Although I think we might have signed Field for next year. If only we had a thread...

Close. Back Of Wrestle.
Which is way better than dummy half.

Ah. I thought you were suggesting our hooker is rubbish.

I’m sure after this season Gentle will be high demand.

I find it quite hilarious actually, cos when Gentle left Parra and we tanked, people were all, omfg why did we let him go clearly he is great .... swings and roundabouts i guess

So why did he leave our Eels.
A) Punted
B) More money
C) Couldnt work with BA
D) Greater opportunities
E) All of the above.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Would have to be more money. We were tracking well when he left and nobody, least of all Arthur's, wants to break up something that's working.

 

[84 Baby]

Well there ya go, proof. Good news is it's an easy fix.

I don’t know if giving every player in the league muffin top haircuts would be that easy.

A) Punted - not after 2017 which was our first finals appearance in to many years
B) More Money - ???
C) Couldnt work with BA - worked with him for 4 years and didnt seem to have a problem
D) Greater opportunities - Gentle has never seemed to crave an NRL head coach role. He came back from the UK to be assistant to BA and was a head coach over there, so must have decided he didn't want that.

I think you would be right Pou, although it could just have been that he wanted a change of scenery.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

There were some suggestions Eels were looking at/speaking to Jim Dymock for a assistant role for 2018. Peter Gentle didn’t want to take a chance he wouldn’t get a contract so he signed with Souths.

Another change of scenery could be on the way for him in 2021!!

What a load of horseshit. He left because he signed Murphy first and was left out in the cold with a few weeks left before his current contract expired. He always wanted to stay. Then Seibold gave him an offer because there was no other offer on the table. Then when he signed with the Broncos BA got the shits.

Anyway I’d be looking at Joe Ofahengaue. He is on the outer at Brisbane and is on about $500k and is contracted until 2023.

He’s a f**king cat, and a deadset moron 3 drunk driving charges just for starters.


He’s meant to be a leader there and has been totally the opposite.

We’ve had plenty of reformed morons here. Wicks and Mau immediately come to mind.

Good player but im sure he'd want to be a starter.

He’s been one of their worst players all year, there’s a reason they are trying to move him on. Wicks and Mau did stuff off the field and payed for the mistakes and no one could question their hunger or desire.

this bloke has had free pass after free pass(the Broncos way) learnt nothing and isn’t even having a crack. As I said no thanks.

 

[eel01s]

We need another hooker, prop (or two) and some back up outside backs. Will we have money to after Brandon Smith/Harry Grant if they go on the market?

 

[Glenneel]

1 Embarrassing performance in a season and half you blokes have written off the club, players and coach for the next 3 years.

Pretty shit attitude imo... Especially considering not that long ago we were lucky to get a handful of wins in a season.

short memories it seems.

No just pointing out the obvious. Actually we have long memories (although getting to an age where dementia, thankfully, should kick in) and have seen more than a few false dawns before, and this year is shaping up as another.

$500k Broncos money = $700k Sydney money.

I bet nothing comes of Pangai reporting his TPAs not paid and not registered with NRL. Nearly every player up there probably has same contracts as they all stay for far less money than offered elsewhere.
