Rumours and Whingers and Occasional Optimism XXIX

[Noise]

Imagine we lose our best front rower and our best half (form wise).

 

[Lethal]

Massoud is always on the money as well, he's as good as gone.

Kelly for 3 more years now........

Massouds always on the money? :sarcasm: Apparently Corey knocked back our 3 year, 1.8M offer. Surely an extra 100k a year will sway him to stay?

 

[Dibs]

I thought someone said Corey knocked back a 3 year 1.8 million offer from Penrith?

 

[Noise]

Norman is worth way more than 600k. That is only about half of what Foran is on

Yeah that's what I heard. The grubs at channel 7 were reporting it in reverse tonight.

Yep. Well, both clubs start with 'P' I guess. Maybe he knocked back offers from both of us. Time will tell.

 

[Dibs]

Yes 600k a year is a little insulting in my opinion

 

[eels_fan]

I don't believe we would have low balled him that much. That's literally half what Foran is on. I don't think BA is that unrealistic

We probably don't need both Norman and Hayne.

I've said it before I tend to stay out of conversations involving salaries as I wouldn't have a clue. However I would have thought 700 would have been a starting point and the final offer finishing somewhere between there and 800. Of course there is always the chance a desperate team throws huge money at him but all things being even then between 700 and 800 seems feasible to me

I don't either, we have a lot of blokes off contract next year, and surely we have enough to give him the 800k he reportedly wants.

Typical Massoud "Norman has rejected the offer, and Parramatta don't have anymore money to offer him due to the salary cap mess" :crazy:

Just make the numbers up like everyone else mate

Seriously, at this point the player's manager will be nudging and winking and leaking (probably dishonestly) to attempt to maximise the deal wherever it may be. I'd not worry too much.

 

[Delboy]

Not sure we need to read too much into the article, with DA apparently out of the picture, would seem that BA and Peter Sharp will assume authority as negotiators

We should be confident if BA wants him, we will retain him

Lol I did.

I agree the manager will be trying a bit of negotiating by media. Wonder when he will be linked to rugby or afl?

:lol: Sorry mate i was just taking the piss, i doubt Corey is going anywhere. They must of ran out of BS stories to bag the club with so Joshie boy starts up a rumour they Norman isn't staying.

Don't forget masoud saying Semi's walking out on the NRL🙄

Where is DA?

Apparently he is hanging around with Andrew gee

EELS

MICHAEL Gordon has recaptured his best form at Parramatta, now the fullback is set to extend his contract beyond this season. Gordon only signed a one-year contract coming over from Cronulla, but his manager Paul Sutton confirmed the veteran No.1 was keen to open talks with the Eels about a longer stay.

“Mick has been playing well and he wants to have a couple more years,” Sutton said.
