Those new buys of yours

Aside from Grothe(who does have the occasional in yer 20 yips) they all look pretty ordinary now.Cannings out for months,Pearson,Moi Moi etc.....not going too well eh....To be honest with ya's,I cant work out why you bought all these props when you ave guys like Tsoulous,Peek,Armit.These guys are locals and guns.....why you bought these imposters is beyond me???

And the guys we got from you(Richards aside) have been starring for us.Moodies in fine touch(if he isnt better than Peterson well...)and Hodgson (who I was told was a speed bump and is slow)just got picked for reps........and is one of our best(him or Skandy).

You got any other players that are crap like these guys,please feel free to rubbish them and send them our way.

Cheers.

Good call. BTW, we got messages like that from Raiders fans last year as well, and Manly fans happily watching Scotty Donald become top tryscorer.

Under Brian Smith, Parrais like a bloody finishing school. All the cream goes elsewhere for a career, and all the crap (bar Hindy) have to stay back and repeat!

Misty, your smart ass comments are really starting to give me the s**ts ... why don't you do yourself a favour and go support another team rather than constantly moan about this one and its coach ...

I must admit Moi Moi does lok to have potnetial,but onbly playing ten minutes the whole year its hard to get a handle on his form.

And I agree with the comment on Stapleton,he looks to be a very good player.But the rest...... :lol: :lol:

We did not buy them, our coach did.

Unfortunately, we are not part of the Eels brains trust.

Our players have been going as well as some of your buys though too SS. Todd Payten, Ben Reynolds...... some of your young blokes have made more of an impression then these guys then they get dropped.

Payten's been injured(has played 10 miutes and never got dropped) and Reynolds broke his leg????? :| :| Nice try though :lol: :lol: :lol:


You neglected to mention Sattler and Elford who have been 2 of our best,and Graham who is a tackling machine.So far Id say we are very happy with our buys,and with nearly all the boys back to fitness I expect some wins very soon(Senter and Payten back this week,and Benji in 1-3).

I wasn't having a dig actually. I was just saying that some players work out better than others. Stapleton has been good whereas Kativerata has been useless - Reynolds goes down injured yes, but before then he and Prince were struggling for combination and Prince has started to hit his straps last week. Payten has been a bit like Cannings - good when they are on the field but haven't spent much time on it to be their worth yet.

Some of your young blokes have been more impressive - Farah, Gibbs, Harrison but they get dropped straight away. Same as Tsoulos and Armit have been impressive for us only we can't drop them..... or then again?

You open by bagging Cannings, Pearson & Moi Moi yet they have all been injured just like Payten & Reynolds. Cannings since rd 3, Pearson rd 2 & Moi Moi rd 6. You cant have it both ways.

Nice try though. :roll:

Fact is despite your buys being great and ours being ordinary, we've still won one more game than you this year. They must be doing something right.

You have low standards if you think Graham has been playing well, mind you, calling him a tackling machine is probably the only compliment he would deserve on his form this year.

That Hodgo effort on Swain last weekend wasn't exactly top class, he's getting back to his best form, arm tackles, diving at feet, nobody ever questioned how good he is with the ball, its without it that he struggles.

I'll defend Foi. Like I always have to. He played the most remarkable 10minutes then unfortunately got injured. He is not useless. Stapleton has been good also.

But Muckert was a waste.

I see Muckert has having the potential to be a really solid 80 minute back rower, hopefully filling the Ian Hindmarsh void and taking some of pressure of Nathan Hindmarsh

How so? The guy didn't exactly go out of his way to fracture his eye socket exactly...... :roll:

I've seen him playing in Premier League and he deserves to be there. He seems to be suffering from the same disease as some others at the club, lead weighted shoes in attack. No passion!

Considering the bloke has played three games since returning from a fractured eye socket I can understand that assessment. His match fitness wouldn't be good from not being able to play for over 10 weeks.

Aside from the, at most 2 and a half pl games you would have seen him play this year, how much more of him have you seen?
