Rumours and Stuff

So how much did we pay Drown?

In a perfect world we sign Brown and Moses for 2m per year.

I am unsure that is going to be the case.

 

[Avenger]

I reckon Moses/Brown/Penisini to re-sign before the season starts. He reckons not. Loser pays to the winners favourite charity.

I feel we will keep Moses.

Just a question, does anyone know if a player, e.g Dylan, gets injured out of the game, will his insurance consider the PO with his payout.

If it does, it is very smart to have a PO coz career ending injuries can happen, moreso for older players like Moses and Hodgo

I don't know where I got Christmas from. Oh well, if I lose ill be super happy that Moses wants in. Win win situation

 

[Avenger]

I’d be keeping Moses. Offer him his $1m indexed to inflation. Give Brown $900k and Penisini $550k and we are fine.

I think I should be in charge of recruitment.

Of course we will. He is best mates with Gutherson. He has an effective combination with Brown and the alternative is to go back to Luke Brooks who has never experienced semi final football.

Tedesco never played finals footy either until he went to the Chooks. Then he won six straight, including two grand finals.

The moral of the story is if you want to play finals footy you need to be somewhere other than the Tigers.

Yes but how many games did he play and how old was he before he jumped ship? Brooks would have to hold some record for most games played without a semi final appearance.

Pretty sure he does hold it, he took it over from Sandow lol

 

[Avenger]

No need. Tedesco played 90 games before he had enough and was 24. Luke Brooks is about to turn 28 (tomorrow) and has played 186 games without any success in guiding his team to a semi final.

Trevor Cogger held the record for many years. He played for 10 years and made a semi final appearance in his last year in 1991 as a centre. I’m pretty sure it was his 161st game.

Michael Bolt with 168 games for Illawarra was the record holder before Brooks over took him currently on 189 games.

Ironically our HOF Mark O'Neill has the record for the longest wait to play a final he played 219 games before playing in a final in 2005 and won all 4 including a premiership then retired.

Probably but he is at the Tigers ffs

And stealing a living.

It still pisses me off the pricks won in 2005 after we botched it the week before.

We would have spanked them in the GF that year.

So Dylan Brown is signed up. Well done to the Eels head office.

Now let’s take care of Moses. Probably not too soon though. What will the press write about if if he gets signed up well before the season begins?

They'll say it looks like we effed up and looking most likely unable to keep our future captain (Penisini) and a host of stars - Carty, Greig, etc

20 mins of Dylan chat from 6 min mark.
They don't get everything right but much more sense than the normal dribble that comes from RL journos.
