Teams for this week Round 9

[Stagger eel]

Also, when a figure is bandied around in the media, it's usually what the contract is worth with bonuses, including the amount of first grade and rep matches they have to play to get that figure.

Much was reported about the amount he signed for especially from our mate Roy Hardley but what's not reported are the finer details of bonuses in the contract.

that's my opinion anyway.

 

[Twizzle]

bottom line is, he gets jack sh*t for playing in premmy league

 

[Kornstar]

It is the same with Riddell, IF he played reps and won a GF with us, he could potentially get like $400,000 or something ridiculous like that. Seeing as he has done neither he is probably getting in the high 200's or early 300's.

I think Tahu had the same sort of deal too.....

 

[jayman]

fair enough.. wasnt sure how much he got playing premmies etc...

did seem like alot of money..didnt know whether if it was true or not... that was the figure i heard but...

 

[Avenger]

When Daniel Wagon left his monthly pay packet at the Intersection Club and it then published in the media his contract was worked out at about $150,000 per year.

Just a guide.

Tahu would just need to maintain State and Australian representation to get his maximum.

He has been in my opinion our best return from the signings from 2004. If anything he is an even better player now.

Actually you're wrong

due to Cannings being within the Eels top 25 his contract amount will count regardless of where or when he plays.

Some like Hayne who is outside the top 25 would only count if he played 1st grade tho and even then there are conditions and what not

 

[Freak2]

I can't see Fuifui playing this week.
Even though it is a home game. I dare say BS will go with a few players that can play long periods rather than impact players.

 

[Parra Guru]

Reps or not, Riddell isn't worth that much for the amount of time he spends on the field, or lack there of

 

[Suitman]

Problem is, that's what you have to pay to get a player of his calibre here in the first place.

I've got no problem with what Riddell is on.
I think he'll shine more under Hagan's coaching next year anyway.
Smith seems to be struggling to get the best out of the boys this year.

pphff you cant deny the big fella. All his game time was quality.

 

[Hurriflatch]

didn't Fui play like 30 mins straight 1st game back?

Ive never seen him play so many minutes. His tackling technique has changes ten fold.

I see what you mean. Would you up his pay though?

 

[yy_cheng]

I thought he played the last 20mins in the 1st half and the 1st 20 mins in the 2nd half against the tiges

 

[Hurriflatch]

well thats 2x20 mins shifts or 1 40 min shift depending on how you look at it

either way Fui's fitness isn't an issue in his selection he might actually be one of the fitter forwards

 

[Suitman]

I see what you mean. Would you up his pay though?

No, not at all.
If he wants to go elsewhere for more money, so be it.

Nobody is irriplacable.

No issue when you have 2 80 minute backrowers and a 50-60 minute rower.

But with both Cayless and Hindmarsh backing up (Hopefully) I think Smithy might go with Peek and Ody.

If one of them does not play Saturday I can see the Fui being selected.

 

[The Colonel]

Peek is suspended. O'Dwyer is on standby for Tahu and Cayless is probably not going to back up unless injury happens before the game starts.

 

[Freak2]

Wasn't aware of the Peek suspension. Oh well.

Odwyer is a special to be in the side. He can cover both centre and back row.

He has great defence technique but lacks a little in attack.
