All we are saying, is Pearce off !

[Dan]

My guess Dan is about 11am tomorrow, right about the time I’m doing a Sampan trip around the lake and miles from free Wifi!

So save your refreshes until then!!

11 am your time or mine, or Sydney time?

I wish someone would think of the Children

Ah yes I forgot at 11am it’s 7am here, you bloody beauty, the Sampan is at 11 Hanoi time!

 

[eaglebuzz]

If it’s tomorrow I’m thinking more like 2pm

Well all the talk is Pearce wants things sorted quickly so he can move on and start training.

If that is the case then we will know shortly were he is headed.

Let's say lunchtime, I'm thinking of the Chicken.

Supposedly going to be a 3 year deal

Nah - drinks break after the lunch session

Wow, just wow....I never thought DCE would voluntarily switch from 7 to 6 to lure Pearce. I've always admired DCE but I under-estimated how special he is.

Pretty meaningless, as positions are equivalent for us (i.e. Barrett), but smart PR to put against Easts cronking Pearce.

 

[Rosko]

Hypothetical

Forget about the name...
This player is on the market

Age: 28
Games: 238?
SOO Games: 17
Premierships: 1
Minor Premierships: 3
GF's: 2
WCC: 1

Does he have a point to prove?: YES
Averages > 20 games per season: yes
Does our club want him? : yes ( apparently )

Would you want him at our club?

Yes or no?

If he was a goal kicker, definitely...

 

[Eagles4Life]

I am not going to be too pearced off if he doesnt sign with us. It could work out well for us, but equally it could also be a complete disaster. What we have for 2018 (Squad) is already pretty solid, and what we have coming through (developing our younger players) could be pretty special as well. Pearce is an excellent player on his day, but I worry about what negativity he might bring into a developing team culture, and how much his package eats into what appears to be a skinny cap. Is it worth it? I guess we will know one way or another soon.

9.45pm Hanoi time, in a bar drinking Tiger Crystal and no announcement, jeez, suppose I’ll have to wait until #tomorrow now!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Just checked my Twitter account even Slothfield now saying 99.9% @SeaEagles

Bring on Friday, surely it won’t be #nextweek

Nothing is easy unless your smart

Or everything is easy when your smart.

I love nothing more than people speculating on how much cap space we have or in that fact, complaining about how much space other clubs have or that they are cheating the cap


The fact is nobody has any blooming idea, and that is not a slight on fans it’s just due to the fact the cap can be managed in so many different ways.


People tend to just go, player X is a premier forward so he is on about 800k a year, Player Y is on a 4 year deal worth 2 million so that is 500k a year etc etc


But maybe player X has 300k worth of TPA’s

Maybe player Y was signed on a back ended contract and is on 750k the last two years of the deal

Maybe player Z had significant rep bonuses that now run into this year’s cap

Player B though has had long serving player allowances kick in

Player F has left the club but we are subsidising part of the deal

Player T’s contract was front loaded so we are only paying him 200k this year

Player D has a car allowance factored into his deal

Player J, K and M’s contracts state their salary increases the same percentage as any cap raise

Players S, Q and R, managers suck and they do not have the above


Etc etc etc


The only thing we can say is we are in the market…..so we have some cash to spend, simple

Mmmm I feel like some alphabet soup!

[Bird of Prey]

Lots of media innuendo about about a late bid from the storm , I smell a rat in all this business which could see a straight swap for the roosters and the storm.

 

[The Wheel]

@readingtheplay would have the same or similar connections as the others who are prolific on Twitter.

So far the ONLY one to say it’s a done deal, so could mean something or nothing.

@The Wheel , you may have been right in the money buddy.

Would give us a very powerful 1/6/7/9 and we all know what that means!

I hopefully will be able to say I told you so soon;-)

.I predict that within 48 hours a silvertail will advocate strongly for Mitchell to be selected at lock or on the wing.
