Rumours and Stuff

[hineyrulz]

Id suggest Stoneys departure would indicate how little BA has in determining our roster. If there is one player, apart from Gutho that BA holds dear its Stone. Regardless of past injury or form, Stone is always an inclusion in the 17 when available. This is a huge shock. Im wondering if MON and BA are on speaking terms after this one.

Probably not, we all know BA never speaks to anyone.

Stone would of been on minimum I reckon and we always only offer him a 1yr deal. If we did rate him he would of been given atleast a 2yr deal or 3yr. If the Dolphins rated him they would of given him a 3yr deal.

Good on Stoney, good bloke but probably not in the Eels top 20. Back row is not really an issue despite those moving on, possibly the easiest position to cover.

True, if true.

Na……

Stone has only ever had 1 year deals at the eels,
and considering he is again going to be a fringe top 17 starter, there is no reason this wouId change….

Dolphins gave him a 2 year contract, so that along with the cheaper lifestyle in QLD and living near the beach, why wouldn’t Stone take the deal.

can’t see why this wouId cause any issue between BA and MON…..

There's nothing in it we don't already know. Highlight of the article is this line:

'Leilua hasn’t agitated for an early release but the situation is delicate'.

Also this bit which seems to indicate that mangers suddenly care about value for clubs.

'While the Tigers want to retain Leilua for the final year of his deal, the player’s contract will increase from $550,000 this season to between $600,000 and $650,000 in 2022.

Wests officials need to discuss whether the club can obtain value for that price. Player managers call it ROI – return on investment.'

Michael Jennings calls it ROIDS - retire or inject da steroids

Agreed, no different to Will Smith leaving for Gold Coast. Sure seemingly a player that BA liked to keep around and play as a bench utility, but at the end of the day, there's probably better value for money out there in terms of squad composition.

The part that I found interesting is that apparently Michael "f**king" Maguire and Luciano are pretty close despite Joey Leilua's overwhelming urge to kill Madge....

Not unheard of I suppose... Mark Waugh is mates with Warne and we know the same is definitely not true of Tugga and plastic-face....

That or BA's been told he must win a premiership next year and he's done.

Mark and steve are barely seen together. I don't think they are that close tbh both have different interests and do things their own way. After reading a few of the cricketers autobiographies i reckon you couldn't find twins that are more opposite to one another

Junior even went to the trots and missed tugga's last ball 100 against England.

We must be looking at Hodgson for this season and getting rid of Reed early.

That's the only plausible reason why we would look at him as he is old!

You don't think we've had some decision making failures in attack? That's on our young spine. Obviously they're improving, but they would improve their decision making a whole lot quicker if a very smart operator was brought in.

Not saying I want Mahoney replaced immediately, but that's a reason you'd swap him for Hodgson.
