Rumours and Stuff

[The Colonel]

I can tell you for a fact that someone formerly at Parra told one of my friend’s that his son did not stand a chance to play at hooker whilst Matt Arthur was here. So he left and is starring at another rival club.

The three hookers that left last year were;

Nicolas Lenaz - Manly Flegg captain and played mostly at lock....

Jacob Davis also hasn't found his way out of Flegg at the Knights

Zaidas Muagututia has played between Flegg and RMC

Well done, Detective. Can I lock in A, please.

The question remains, did we put our eggs in the Rhino basket for back-up level players such as Jake, Russell and Loizou, when we could have looked further afield? Perhaps our outside backs situation might not be so dire.

I don’t think so. We have also used Dunster, Lumelume, Miller-Stephen, Perham and Oldfield as backups in recent years, and that’s just in the outside backs. Arthur and Russell are just fine as backups. Loizou has been a dud but he performs well in reserve grade when he can get on the field.

we lost matt K to the Rah Rah but he is back playing league now

Does Komolafe have top 30 potential?

If we are going to get bombarded with adds
How about more like this.
I said a boom boom boom
Yeah yeah.

 

[Pazza]

He was our best last week. He’s obviously still got it.

i think hes looked real good since returning to the 13.

his skill set and style really suit the position

Merkins whinging about nepotism need to read this article:

‘Need people you can trust’: Ryles to bolster new-look Eels coaching staff with Nathan Brown

‘Need people you can trust’: Ryles to bolster new-look Eels staff with ex-NRL coach

www.foxsports.com.au

Merkins want to work with other merkins they trust. It's not nepotism, it's human nature.

I think maybe working with people you trust is a different kind of nepotism to clearing the path for your own children to play FG, and arranging for anyone who disagrees (or does a pathways overview that suggests nepotism) to be moved on.

I'm not suggesting that sort of thing ever happened. I'm just saying those are different kinds/ levels/ degrees/ whatevers of nepotism. I suppose they would be viewed differently - especially if they ever happened!

 

[oldmancraigy]

he said, our pathways program isn't run properly so give me the job to run it, he was then given the job and hired Jamie Shephard to assist him then decided to leave after a year in the role so they handed Shephard full responsability.

And then he came back as soon as a new head coach asked him to.

Not in the same role mind you, so highly unlikely the actual head coach had anything to do with it.

Or Lane's Broken Jaw in the trial.

Or Joey Lusick's denfese in the last 4 games of the year.

Or Mitch having his cheek broken against the Broncos

Or Dylbags getting handsy

I think, if seeking any kind of single causality event for last year, that was the one. We had a shocking start, recovered, and were solidly established in the top 8, with a run towards a top 4 finish looming - and sir hands-a-lot happens.
Rocks the club, and the results speak for themselves.

Of course, one event shouldn't be singled out above all others.

There was a time I’d turn it down. These days, I’d crawl through 20ft of shit just to hear her fart through a walky talkey.

That’s devotion

I said last week we were no hope.

Bullflog Ritchie had no idea as per usual.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He is only thirty ffs. And senior players are known for consistent performances. They don’t play every night, they play weekly. There’s plenty of time for recovery unless they played in the tropics.

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

Vlado Jenkovic?

It could be no other.

Following in the footsteps of the great Tui Kamikamica who was cut by the Eels, went to union, then back to,league and the Storm, taught by Bellamy and co and wins GFs
