Rumours from the official forum

[nöyd]

I found it very strange that the heavilly moderated forum had allowed the above post through.

I think there's a fairly straight-forward response for that

 

[Twizzle]

everything is a rumour until it is substantiated

this is just another one in the long list

personaly I think its all crap

 

[The Engineers Room]

I think the entire forward pack are in danger. I don't see Hagan playing the same game plan as Smith and Cayless, Vella and a few others don't fit into the style I think he will play.

Yeah they are too young for Hagan....lets bring Craig Smith and Luke Davico to the club.

 

[Avenger]

:lol:

Hey it's not my rumour.

 

[Avenger]

Interesting as he has been offered a contract here and is considering it.

Well that's a start.

 

[The Colonel]

Hey it's not my rumour.

Yours are generally a lot more reliable....

Craig Smith is playing better than any of our forwards at the present moment. Smithy tried to get him as well......

 

[Kornstar]

In speaking with a high ranking member of the club. . .
Brian's mind not on the job. . . Wrong, apparently Brian was very unhappy with the performance on Saturday and will be working to get the team up.

Vella, Cayless are on contract and there are no moves to cancel those contracts.

Morrison has requested to leave for the UK. We will allow it on confirmation of a Superleague contract.

Lyon has been offered a contract and we are waiting to here but there is a great deal of confidence.

There is also some major confidence that we can make the top 8.

Thanks for that MITS, any news on the Timmy rumour? Surely they would be stupid to think that an average halfback was a better option than Timmy?

Thanks again, it is greatly appreciated

I'm surprised the mods on that forum allowed that to be posted.

Terrible news on Williams, and it would also be a shame to lose Cayless.

It would be sad to see Vella go, but I guess he's not in Hagan's first grade plans, so I would hope he could find a team to play first grade for.

In saying that, I think Vella and Cayless have been great clubmen for Parramatta, and although I'm not really impressed with their form, I would like to think that the Club would consider more than just 'what Hagan wants' before they release them.

 

[Stagger eel]

I read resently that the club is looking at give Tim an extension of his contract, that to me indicates that Hagan does see something in him.

 

[Utey]

Isnt he signed till next season anyhow?

 

[Stagger eel]

Isnt he signed till next season anyhow?

yes, an extension would mean from 2008 onwards.

 

[Utey]

sweet as. Steps in the right direction, no doubt he is our future in the 7.

Quite frankly, and this might upset a few, I would be happy for them to move on.

I want people here who are going to bust their arses for this club, not settle back and sit on their cosy cheques.

[sooperdooper]

i can say that williams has not been offered anything
nor has mateo

 

[Parra Guru]

I agree with you to an extent Suity, but what I'm trying to say is that they are both valuable members of the Club and Community, so I would like to see the Club consider other things other than Hagan's opinion.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Cayless is in his 10th season of first grade, meaning he would make less impact on the salary cap next season under the loyalty rule (50% of their contract doesn't count towards the cap after they have served 10 years at the one club).

 

[The Colonel]

There is a discount available for one ten year player PG - it is only to the value of $100,000.

 

[Suitman]

Terry Leabeater and Geoff Bugden used to be as well. There comes a time.......

so I would like to see the Club consider other things other than Hagan's opinion.

To an extent, but he IS the incoming coach. Surely we must give him what he is prepared to work with?

It may well do, but if a player isn't performing, why have them on the roster at all??

Thanks Colonel, I was told last year when discussing the Thommo saga that it was 50%.

Is Caylo our only 10 year player ATM?
