Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

$200k is a top 17 player. There wouldn't even be many $150k players outside their club's top 17. IMO

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Yes, and Rein is a top 17 player in almost every team. I know he wasn't great this year but IMO he looked worse in poor team.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He's definitely a first grader.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Wasn't there a Dragon (i.e. the band) song that advised against signing Mitch Rein?

Maybe, but Milli Vanilli didn't think he was too bad.

No - I think they thought you should just not blame him

No - I think they thought you should just not blame him

I actually don't give much credence to anything that came out of Milli Vanilli's mouth(s) to be frank...

Well Creedence were asking if we've ever seen Rein.
Obviously they don't notice him on the field too often.

Signed as a back up as no other club wanted him. The duke prob took him down nepean river and buttered him up

I wouldn't get too excited about Jackson Hastings possibly coming to the Eels.
Chances are he is going to join Catalans for a season, then possibly link up with the Panthers (who showed some interest for next year but don't have enough room under the salary cap).

His other choice seems to be simply staying with his current contract and play it out for Wyong, hoping to get a go with the Roosters at some stage.

Not sure on how true this all is, but it came from Horrie Hastings so I'm guessing it might be legit.

Last week I was in a cafe and I overheard a Roosters' director say he was headed to Parra. Must have fallen through. It's a shame I reckon he has some ability.

I only heard this yesterday from a mate who is a family member of the Hastings'.
He never mentioned anything about Parra, only that the Panthers were interested.
Still, there is plenty of time for things to change.

sounds like something you wish he'd do to you

What makes you think he hasn't already

Blind Melon expressed similar thoughts, although the lyrics could be interpreted a number of ways.
Johnny Farnham however was absolutely scathing about his handling skills (Rein Drops Keep Falling On My Head).

 

[emjaycee]

Prince had me convinced Bellamy was signing Mitch

 

[Stevie]

So there is a lot of FB hype about this Barnes kid but no one here actually thinks he'd play 1st grade in 2017 right?!

 

[eloquentEEL]

The big question for Penrith is whether they can still see Cleary, now that the Rein is coming

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Without seeing anything but his highlights I don't think he'll play first grade next year. We'll have a plan to ease him into the 20's and see how he progresses from there. And whilst he does seem like a good player I don't think people should be getting ahead of themselves, after all he's no Connor Broadhurst.

I was thinking of similar with regard to the Dragons coaching position.
