The Parramatta Castaways

[Sportsjock]

Found this list on some players who at various stages were released or let go by Parramatta in recent years. Interesting indeed! It wouldn't be so bad if these players were poached by other clubs, but lets face in the majority of these cases, BRIAN SMITH DEEMED THEM NOT GOOD ENOUGH for the Eels :lol:

( Oh and pardon the spelling , the list was cut and pasted and already mis-spelt )

Highest turnover of talent by any club in recent seasons or what?!?!?!

 

[NPK]

wow :shock:

 

[shadowboxer]

what about gilligan, the skipper or ginger???

 

[wittyfan]

Jason Bell was a fine hafback in his day.

 

[mickdo]

What, other clubs don't unload players? :roll:

 

[Sportsjock]

What, other clubs don't unload players? :roll:

Not usually to go on to bigger and better things at other clubs , no :lol:

From the players listed, and currently still playing - hows this former EELS team for you?!

HODGSON
SCHIFKOSKE
TONGA
RICHARDS
DONALD
WITT
DREW
RYAN
REYNOLDSON
HINDMARSH
CAYLESS
ROBINSON
CHAN/HECKENBERG

With a bench boasting the choices of
KELLY, DUNLEY, MOODIE, CLEAL, KIDWELL, LEULAIA, TOOKEY and whoever doesnt start between Heckenberg and Chan.

Not to mention injured PJ MARSH not named in the team.

Its a team that could put 50 on your current mob of nuffies, hows that team for you?!

Mickdo , challenge is there to name a team from past players of a club of your choice, still playing at other clubs that rival the quality of the castaway Eels - players who are BETTER now than what they were at their former club :lol:

 

[wittyfan]

what about gilligan, the skipper or ginger???

And the professor too and his wife. And don't forget Mary-Ann. :lol:

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

57 players,couple of good 1st grade sides there #-o

 

[legend]

Lets add:

Adam Mogg
Michael Hodgson
Paul Gallen
Mitchell Sargent

And I'm sure Joel Clinton was also a Parramatta junior but I am happy to stand corrected on that one.

 

[Sportsjock]

yeah and there's the starting team:-

HODGSON
SCHIFKOSKE
TONGA
RICHARDS
DONALD
WITT
DREW
RYAN
REYNOLDSON
HINDMARSH
CAYLESS
ROBINSON
CHAN/HECKENBERG

:lol:

Chad Robinson is going to be something special, and Andrew Ryan took less money at the Dogs to get away from Brian Smith.

It is completely disgraceful.

 

[t-ba]

You'd get a Solid, Top 6 quality 25 out of those players.

 

[Sportsjock]

Lets add:

Adam Mogg
Michael Hodgson
Paul Gallen
Mitchell Sargent

And I'm sure Joel Clinton was also a Parramatta junior but I am happy to stand corrected on that one.

Goddamn and it just gets worse , Mogg and Gallen especially are better options that what Eels currently have - even if they are still nuffies.

 

[t-ba]

The centres are a bit weak, But Jamie Lyon will fill that role up soon enough :lol:

 

[Sportsjock]

Well with the form Tongas in, he is solid, I named Richards because I didn't add LYON , and I didn't even think of Mogg.

Imagine these centre combos to choose from then - Mogg, Lyon , Tonga.

Not so weak :lol:

 

[wittyfan]

I hope Brian Smith gets rid of Michael Witt soon. I reckon he'd make a fine 5/8th for the Sharks.

 

[legend]

How about this team:

Hodgson
Schifcofske
Tonga
Mogg
Donald
Maguire
Witt
Hindmarsh
Hodgson
Ryan
Reynoldson
Marsh
Cayless


Dunley
Robinson
Kidwell
Richards

 

[Sportsjock]

How good is Michael Hodgson going for the Raiders.

Workaholic personified, and gutsy, something the Eels might do well with.

I think you could work a few teams around the given players, and come up with a definite Top 8 club.

 

[Booyah]

Lets add:

Adam Mogg
Michael Hodgson
Paul Gallen
Mitchell Sargent

And I'm sure Joel Clinton was also a Parramatta junior but I am happy to stand corrected on that one.

Clinton is a Parra junior. I'm almost positive of this.

As for Gallen, he played S.G Ball for the Eels then came across to us via Flegg and Divvy.
