2013 Rumoured and confirmed signings.

[Blake]

Was that the one that tore us apart in the WCC? I remember watching that game, thinking 'geez, I hope that guy comes to NRL soon'

Kallum Watkins???

Thats him Blake - almost the Blake Ferguson of the English League. Has all the skills & speed but has probs with consistency. No doubt a top buy for any side at any level in the world but confused with the fact we already have 2 world class centres - perhaps a super but expensive winger??

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Given how intelligent our recruiting has been lately I cannot see us even considering Watkins. If we wanted another quality centre it would have been far better to see if we could have made Whare happier at the club.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Only thing that could have made him happy was Matai or Lyon moving on

 

[Pittwater Legend]

I know that Lyon still has a lot more to offer but Whare/Matai would have made a killer centre pairing.

Kiwi centre pairing down the track perhaps? That is if Matai plays for NZ instead of Samoa.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

a killer centre pairing.

Nice pun.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Whare is already established as Kiwi centre now and not much challenging him but I think Steve is done and will stick to Samoa

Both centre's tore us a new one.
Zak Hardraker is the other one, they've got him playing fullback so maybe him

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Excuse me, we do not 'snatch' people, we invite them.
To be part of the superior Manly Sea Eagle rugby league experience.
And if they choose to reject us then they get no mercy.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Gees I haven't been called 'sir' here for some time, lol
Should be more of it
Let's see, "Sir SeaEagleRock8" ...
nah, not a monarchist!

Gees I haven't been called 'sir' here for some time, lol

At least it wasn't "boy"

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Craig Gower wanting to be back in the NRL by the end of this month

Wonder if Saints will sniff around him

 

[MWSE]

Any further news on Lyon re-signing?

 

[eagles2win]

Ricky Stuart has apparently told Eels players off contract for this year and 2014 they are surplus to requirements.

Ricky Stuart has apparently told Eels players off contract for this year and 2014 they are surplus to requirements.

was that during one of his motivational talks maybe

 

[RL Gronk]

According to the smh article 14 players some not on contract will be moved on.

I wonder how many we will get and turn in to first graders

I'd love Harrison back he's a solid toiler like Rodney

 

[WESTIE]

What chance picking up someone this year , with parra paying for it ? maybe Brad Arthur can find us a value forward ???

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Rumour

Sam Williams has signed with the Dragons effective immediately

Getting to be a real raiders look to that side with Dugan, Vidot, Williams, Harrison and Weyman there this year and Joel Thompson joining them next year

 

[Jatz Crackers]

According to the smh article 14 players some not on contract will be moved on.

I particularly enjoyed these two pieces of backflip PR trickery in that article. This, in the same paragraph mind you :

"Our members, sponsors and fans have suffered long enough"

"We cannot guarantee instant results, there will be more tough days to come"

The Parramatta Eels motto should be, "Aspiring to Mediocrity"
