If he isnt resigned and doesnt get another run this year it could be one of the shortest careers at the eels in history.
I believe that Ian Henderson of the Warriors still holds the record - He was selected for the eels and caught the kick off before being pole axed. Off injured and never played for eels again.

Ian Henderson - 10 seconds.

in all honesty I think it was absolutely woeful coaching to not play the guy for 78 minutes then throw him on at a critical stage of the game for his debut with the eels when he hasn't played NRL for god knows how long .... pretty dumb if you ask me

would it have something to do with his contract ?
He is not within the top 25 and if he doesnt play then it doesnt count against us.
If KK hadnt been injured, he wouldnt have got a run.

Paul Kent lasted 5 seconds before he was replaced does that mean Te Maari could be a future tele joke reporter you heard it here first

Wayne Bennett and Des Hasler have been known to do it quite regularly, infact it took Jamie Buher 2 or 3 games to get on the field for manly off the bench.

Didn't Paul Kent run on then straight off so Jason Bell could qualify for the finals in Reserve Grade? I reckon most of us here would be happy to get on the ground for the Eels for 5 seconds.
