SMH: Eels tell Vella he can go to Hull - but only if they get their new man

[Eelementary]

OK, so what we can gather so far is:

* It's someone still contracted to their current club;

* In all likelihood, it's a player that has similar NRL First Grade experience to Vella (after all, why release a 150-plus game veteran and replace him with a 10-match rookie?)

* Some have pointed out that it's probably a former representative player looking for a fresh start.

Interesting...

Were people pleased we signed Ian Hindmarsh? Some were...Others weren't.

Were people happy to see us sack Morris and replace him with Finchy? About 50-50 either way...

Point is, it could be Willie Mason (for argument's sake), but not everyone would be happy. Yes, I'm talking about you, jayjay.

Just to throw O'Haras name back up in the air. At our last open training session I saw him leaving the Stadium with Craig Catterick...

It'd be good if we get that maltese bloke to play for us next year....

The one with over 150 games and rep experience.... man I'd be cheering.

My mate in England keeps telling me that they are reporting that Iafeta Paleasinna is looking to head back to the nrl.

[Phillips]

he'd be 10 times better than Jaimen Lowe mate :lol:

i'd prefer to have don tweddle and shaun wessel in our team then Lance Thompson

What's Villasanti's contract situation? Picked up by Sharks mid-year with Ross out for the season. A one-time Kangaroo who has a fair bit of experience and would be looking for a fresh start. What are the chances of Villa for Vella?

I was just thinking of props that are perhaps surplus to teams needs.

Ohara would be an obvious one.

I was thinking perhaps one of the storm reserve props, Cross or Crossman. The storm seem to be only able to fit one of those guys into their top 17. Perhaps after a good season one of them is looking for an option to play more first grade.

Look I have no idea its just one I thought of.

 

[Pazza]

o'hara would be a fantastic pick up.

o'hara would be a fantastic pick up.

Ohara is the Phil Daley of the new millenium. Played origin but has done f*ck all since.

 

[parra pete]

Wouldn't mind having a prop as good as Phil Daley at the Eels.
Great player........even better bloke.

[SNOOPY]

Signed a three year deal according to Hull KR website

 

[Ron Jeremy]

BTW

Villasanti is a nothing, he's still living off a tackle he done in the 2003 semi finals.
