Rumours in RLW

[madunit]

Have us close to signing Marvan Karawana (Newcastle Utility half/back rower) and Tom Humble (Parramatta Halfback)

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Humble's a fullback and can't get a game in front of Burt...

Eels fans really rate him though.

My entire family and group of friends are Parra supporters so i get to see most of their games.

Humble looks good, really good actually. From memory he played during SOO or a Hayne suspension. Confident, quick and skillfull.

Could prove to be a great buy if true.

 

[madunit]

He's being touted as a replacement for moltzen. If so, where does that leave reddy?

 

[gronkathon]

I think he would work as a bench utility if Sheens still wants to use one.

The possibility of TNT being a chance next season are apparantly swirling in the rumour ethers as well

Wow. TNT back. That would make me happy. Can't imagine the club not giving him a chance if he was up for it.

Tuiaki. I'll believe it when I see it.

Humble has signed for the Tigers www.weststigers.com.au

 

[Magpie Nick]

Humble is more of a half than a fullback. He played the entire QLD Cup season before signing with the Eels in the halves.

 

[westie]

Haven't watched him, but wasn't this dude meant to be something of a messiah for the Eels?

 

[R2Coupe]

The Tigers were chasing Humble from Nth Qld but he chose to go to the Eels. Obviously, the Club believes he has something to offer.

 

[andrew9148]

Apparently he is humbled that the tigers were interested.

 

[Mr Angry]

Humble is great player.

He is a 6. Seems you have that covered.

manufactured fullback...

i rate the kid. lets see what tim says.

 

[R2Coupe]

The coach loves ball playing fullbacks just like Hodgson.

 

[TYGA]

Kid has talent was wondering why he cannot get a start for the Eels this explains it:

Tuiaki. I'll believe it when I see it.

Of course??? DOH!!!!, thanks

 

[madunit]

Tuiaki would be a great thing to have back.

I just wish we'd sign a genuinely proper FULLBACK!

2 - Tuiaki
3 - Ayshford
4 - Lawrence
5 - Tuqiri

who has a better threequarter line than that?

 

[andrew9148]

Is TNT training at the tigers ?

 

[Tigers Tale]

A couple of mates who follow Parramatta (yeah, we all have them) say we have signed a great prospect in Tom Humble. Playing for Wenty a few weeks ago against BRET he apparently starred and made the decision on Jake mullaney simple.

He is apprently very quick and a very good goal kicker. Is best at 5/8 so they say but that is never gunna happen. So, if he isn't seen as a 1/2 the next choice is fullback, which he handles very well.

This could be a very good signing and one that could solve an ongoing problem we have had. In saying that he could be seen as the all round bench warmer...but if he is as good a kicker as they are saying we might benefit having him on the ground full time.

One eyed Eel blogs are furious he was never used well at the Eels.

Any one else seen him or got opinions?
