Rumours and Stuff

Alamoti looked very good last night.. looks more lean and fitter than at the dogs

Yeah we could of had him. But we went for Harpic

I also heard a strong rumour today that Wayne Bennett has knocked back the Rabbitohs and Burgess is squarely in the frame - which is why they signed Lewis Dodd

no one knows anything concrete, but the feeling amongst people who know him is that Bennett wouldn’t mind a shot at parra

Gut feel i reckon is they put the feelers out 2-3 weeks ago when Demetriou was about to be sacked and Bennett said no.

So I think there waiting to figure out who is going to replace Demetriou before sacking him.

Probably the week of the Parra game always generally happens.

Lomax asked for coaching clause in his new Eels contract

Parramatta rejected a request from Zac Lomax to insert a clause into his new deal which would have tied his future to that of under-siege coach Brad Arthur.

Sources with knowledge of discussions, speaking under the condition of anonymity due to confidentiality, told this masthead Lomax’s management had asked to insert a coaching clause into his four-year deal to join the Eels from 2025.

Lomax, who was invited to dinner at Arthur’s western Sydney home before agreeing to the deal with the Eels, wants to play under the coach.

Eels management denied Lomax the ability to tie his future to Arthur’s, with the Dragons outside back later agreeing to a deal worth more than $2.6 million – without the clause built in.

It is not the first time an Eels player has attempted to tie their future to Arthur.

The Eels won’t make any promises about who the coach will be beyond Arthur’s current contract expiration date at the end of 2025. The club is expected to reassess their position if the team fails to compete for a finals spot this season.

Lomax asked for coaching clause in his new Eels contract

Zac Lomax wanted to play under Brad Arthur and requested a clause in his deal to join Parramatta. The Eels were emphatic in their response.

It's not about winning, it's about having a go.

I've never been in a fight as an Adult. I don't even think I've been out pass 10pm once I turned 35. That's when trouble starts
f**k that

Yeah we could of had him. But we went for Harpic

We should now get Savage from Raiders and play him alongside Harper...that will confuse the shit out of the opposition....
Them 2 will be two times soul glo

At least the R&R committee were smart enough to knock back the clause in Lomax's contract that he wanted for BA.

Interesting it says that other players have asked for it and knocked back as well.

Is this a BA initiative to weld more power over the board by getting players to try and put a coaching clause in there contract.

 

[the phantom menace]

Yep, that might be part of the hosting dinners with prospective signings... it's looking like desperate times for BA if his squad misses the finals two seasons running.

I seriously doubt our mob is astute enough to land Bennett

we’d likely end up with Scott Minto

^^^ what happened to the good ole days when that would go to the swamp ?

and the hooker used to actually strike for the ball, and players would tackle around the hips and slide down to the ankles. The ball boy would bring out a little bucket of sand.......oh the good ole days....

Love child ain't bad

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Or MURRAY Bennett

Nup, he's a molly dooker.

 

[Stevie]

I really am excited if we have a backline like
1)Lomax
2) Simonsen
3)Gutho
4) Penisini
5) Open (Maybe Russell if he hardens up. Maybe Blaize if he is ready by then.

Hopefully adding a proper first grade wing/centre.
Harper, Blaize, Russell back ups.
Sivo gone at the expense of gaining a good wing / centre.

Guth to cover halves injury, fullback injury.

Interesting comments from Mannah

BA looks after the captain and leadership team very well, treats them differently to the rest of the squad as when the board wants to see how the coach is going they will always ask the leadership team, who BA is looking after, so it’s always a positive response
