Rumours and Stuff

He was a f**king nobody when he came here and signed for less than $10k. The Dogs f**ked him off because he was shit. BA made him the player he is and they got within $50k of the Dogs offer and he kept stalling before the Dogs raised it again to trump it by $100k.

Yet it’s Arthur’s fault. That’s the rhetoric isn’t it?

I just asked whats the reason he didn't want to stay??? It's not just about money so what is it??? It can't be Arthur's fault because nothing is because thats the rhetoric on here isn't it???

Papa showed plenty when he first burst on the scene and played for NZ at 19 i think. Playing for a shitty club and a few injuries he form stalled

f**k off! You didn’t even know his name before this year

The fact of the matter is that BA and his coaching staff have improved every player that is leaving. Of course it’s about the money you f**king idiot! If money was no object and there was no salary cap of course they’d stay.

Will they ever rise to be as brilliant sterling Kenny Ella in any of today’s teams that team wins the comp

Penrith will win 2 or 3 more before we win won imo

 

[hindy111]

How would any of us know what he's on? Because we read it in the Tele?

Yes

More passive aggression, but but but but but i'm just being direct lol.

Why would anyone to leave such a wonderful environment??? Yeah all about the cash lol. I'm sure it had nothing to do with lowballing the f**k out him and pissing off his management.

Papali'i debut I commented was best I seen ever by an Eel.
By rnd 10 he had to be signed up

I think by half time i called him our new Fui, instead we decided lowball him and just offer him a 2 year deal. But don't you dare be negative about it because he's not that god and easily replacable. Him and his management are scumbags. How dare him and Mahoney not take the first offer we give them!!!!

how do you know we didn't try? ..... us fans have no idea what's going on behind the scenes .... tigers (and other teams) might have already told his manager they are keen and so they wouldn't commit early to us??? .... who knows?

So he'll be coached to Avoid The Collision?

I suspect the State of Origin representative will make his own decisions.

Why would other clubs even need to say anything? Agents may be the scum of the earth but they’re not stupid

I think you will find Josh Hodgson has been an Australian citizen for a while. He has no intention of returning to the UK.

Most of the blokes we have let go all have their best footy in front of them, can you say that about the blokes we have signed or are looking to sign???

Simonson is a decent pick up at the right price, but he's just a winger. Sims is apparently a target we offered Papali unders yet are willing to sign a bloke like Sims who has always been a massive under achiever in club footy. His form for the saints has been bog average he has never put a club season of footy together like Papa did this year.

So you're saying the demand for Sims would be lower? I wonder how that would affect his price.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We will see. I however wanted him out of all others to stay.

The problem with Papali'i, like so many dynamic attacking forwards, is that he looked best running out wide but struggled defending out there.

 

[hineyrulz]

So you're saying the demand for Sims would be lower? I wonder how that would affect his price.

He is a NSW player, i doubt it would be lower. But his club form has been average for quite a while. The best games he has played the last few years have been in a blues jersey.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

lol talk about irrational, i love that it's all Mahoney's fault and nothing to do with the club at all. And if it wasn't just money and he wanted to leave you'd have to wonder why???

I love how you back absolutely any merkin over our club. Mahoney is the one who's chosen to leave. That's the only fact we know for sure. That means he's put himself ahead of the club. Fair enough from his perspective, but are you an Eels fan or a Reed Mahoney fan?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He is a NSW player, i doubt it would be lower. But his club form has been average for quite a while. The best games he has played the last few years have been in a blues jersey.

So why would clubs be fighting each other to pay him big money?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I just asked whats the reason he didn't want to stay??? It's not just about money so what is it??? It can't be Arthur's fault because nothing is because thats the rhetoric on here isn't it???

If the problem is coaching why would he go to play for Ternt?
