They must of had a research group made up of 15 year old school girls when they decided to throw mega bucks at sonny. Anyone with half a knowedge of the NRL knows sonney's only good for about 8 games a season before he's due for a break down.
At least they might start leaving our players alone now
I can't beleive a few of you guys here wouldn't hire Smith cause of his "attitude", he's a footy player, he's hired to win footy games, its not like he's out pissing on members of the public or glassing his missus, he's just a bit cocky and hell that may just be part of why he plays so hard. To...
I don't know if I'd call already reached your peak a problem when "your peak" is being captain of your team, state and country.... if he stays at that "peak" and doesn't get any better I can deal with that.
As for going on a downhill slide in 2 years that in the case of a quality player such as...
Have faith coxy I've got a young one myself... was exactly the same now a couple months later shes sleeping 12 hours a night. You'll get there, and till then lots of coffee!!!!
Actually I think that was the game I caught... yeah he was good, I remember at the time he looked ready for NRL. He has a bit of mongrel in him which we could do with.
The funny thing is none of us will really 100% apreciate just how good locky is till long after he's gone. He will be one of those players that will grow in folklore even more after his retirement... and I can only wonder if he will one day have his own brass look alike next to wally outside...
4 props, thats sad when you concider we'll need 2 starting and two on the bench, that leaves how many in reserves in case of injury???
Like i said expect to see a few second rowers line up at prop this year. I'd just bite the bullet now and shift at least one now so they have time to adjust...
Thaiday needs to be converted into a prop over the off season. I recon we've got some second rower options we've jot got bugger all in the way of forwards. We should send kenny down to hang out with tallis at the bunnys and learn a bit of rip your head off mongrel... he's just a bit too "nice"...
I hate it when the media start grabbing onto a subject and just run any dam half arsed story that may get attention. They know both the broncs and symonds are on last chance's so any report they even walk into a pub makes front page its just pure crap. Can't wait till something else is flavor of...
The "real" reason we got flogged was cause we had too piss easy games against PNG and Figi that were like playing the under 20s against a first grade squad. It was like a sunday picnic and the players just thought the fairy bread would keep rolling in and got a rude shock when it wasn't falling...
I have to admit my mind began wondering back to this post as I watched the Kiwi's pull the aussies pants down last night.... dam he can pull that extra 10% out of players
Hey Jebadude... your glass is most definetly half full isn't it LOL
I can tell you I wouldn't be rushing to swap our player line ups with em for next year!
Oh and coxy... "futurama head cylinders"... you are such a crack up I could so picture that... and sailor would still be on the wing with...
And they wonder why they're running at a loss each year... would you seriously put that bloke as CEO of any other company in the country ... i think not! (perhaps ACME debt collections pty ltd but thats it). Just cause its a football club doesn't mean the CEO needs to be player, its the 21st...
Yeah its funny I know if your like me you tend to treat these PR shots with a bit of scepticism but at the end of the day so what if they thought they'd get some good PR for it, what ever the reason they helped out and thats what matters.
Oh and in keeping up with the bad joke theme here...
"I...
Despite what we all thought this year this club is yet to hit rock bottom, expect them to take a good dive toward the spoon next year... then maybe just maybe once all the dead wood is cleared they may be right to rebuild for 2010.
I think it'll be a long year for the Eels fans.
Hmmm, while he'd be good you'd have to pretty much more heaven and earth to fit him in;
Firstly you'd have to let Locky go after 09 and use every cent of his deal on Farah,
Then as you've locked in all that cap space you wouldn't be able to upgrade Hunts current $200,000 deal and he would...
