My mate, who's a rabid Hawks fan, said we're signing Lance "Buddy" Franklin on a 2 year deal. He wants to play fullback for the Eels. Expect it in the news tonight.

Shackleton an Eel in 2010



Tuesday, June 09, 2009
The Sydney Roosters unfortunately announce that Shane Shackleton has signed with the Parramatta Eels for the 2010 season and beyond.
The Club was unable to match the value or length of the contract offered by the Eels which Shackleton accepted to secure his future and that of his kids.
Roosters Recruitment Manager Peter O’Sullivan said while it was disappointing to lose Shackleton the club had to focus on the long term recruitment plan of developing youth.
“The signing of 20 year old powerhouse Manly forward Jarred Waerea-Hargreaves continues with the Club’s long term planning of signing core age players. We were unable to retain Shane due to salary cap constraints,” O’Sullivan said.
O’Sullivan also indicated the future of Nate Myles would be announced later this week.
The Sydney Roosters are sad to see Shane leave the club but wish him the best for his future.

:music1:

If that's right (re: Poore), our pack next season is going to be really quite strong!

Poore, MoiMoi, Mannah and Cayless as the props

Hindmarsh, Shackleton, Mateo, Gulavao as the backrowers

Everyone else is simply "depth" when needed!

Eels Deal .. Shane Shackleton

The Pirtek Parramatta Eels are pleased to announce the signing of Sydney Roosters forward Shane Shackleton for the 2010, 2011 & 2012 seasons.
A City Origin representative in 2009, Shackleton has played 53 first grade games for the Roosters since his debut against the Brisbane Broncos in round 25 of 2005.
The 106kg, 188cm 26 year old is primarily a second rower, however he is also experienced at lock or prop forward.
Eels head coach Daniel Anderson said he’s very pleased to have recruited a player of Shackleton’s quality.
“We’re obviously very happy to have Shane on board for 2010 and beyond,” Anderson said.
“He broke through for his first representative jumper this year and he’ll certainly add some versatility and variety to our pack.
“What’s more we feel we’ve got a quality person, not just a quality player.”
Acting Eels Chief Executive Andrew Hill said the signing of Shackleton is a vote of confidence in the team and the Club and the direction in which both are heading.
“We’re looking forward to Shane strengthening our team on and off the paddock,” Hill said.
“It’s important for the Club to be able to attract players of Shane’s calibre. We also look forward to continuing negotiations with other players for season 2010.”

I understand the whole boy who cried wolf thing, but Ive never started a thread about a signing before, and seeing as though he came good on the first news, I am quite confident about Poore.

 

[Gronk]

FMD the dooms dayers had me believing that we had no chance. Clearly they have NFI. :lol:
