Suaia Matagi

[smithy]

For what it is worth I have been told by a very reliable source that Matagi will be at the eels.

Man I hope we get Matagi, he is just what we need someone that gives it all. Watched him play this year and he well only get better. Got to get some of those brown paper bags from Parra that there got left.

I wanted him at manly badly but if he wld rather play with them other losers we dont want the prick ...

If Bozo wants him. He will get him.

I dont recall seeing Matagi's name on the Eels Team list which was released on the Zero Tackle website Yesterday.

Maybe he is coming to the Mighty eagles !!

I've never been one to give a scoop because we all know how unreliable sources can be, but I was told yesterday on good authority (I know how that sounds) that Matagi is a done deal at the Eels. Pritchard has come cheap and wants to play with his younger brother and they had the cash left over to sign Matagi.

Lattimore is going to the Sharks, nice we don't need him.

The Lurker just stated again that the Manly offer to Matagi has fallen through. Both Gold Coast and Parra after him.

 

[Rambo1987]

Confirmed today he is off to Parramatta

 

[Kevinward777]

Wow, the Eels have been running rampant with signings. I wonder why our offer fell through.

Better be because we picked up a better option.....

 

[CBreeagles]

All media outlets said it was a done deal with us, I reckon it was a backflip during the 10 day period.

 

[Kevinward777]

And finally the Lurker gets one right.

Well so far on the rumour status we are Zero & None!!

Which basically means one of two things.

1) it was only ever journo BS.

2) our recruitment team of Scott, Brett, Bob & Margaret are still on holidays.

By the way our illustrious leader ( Mr Fluffy) has been in Europe for about 6 weeks so perhaps he packed all the pens at Narrabeen and took them with him!!

I think it is official. As a club we are struggling. No way Bob didn't want Matagi.

3. As a club we can't get players to sign.

Maybe that's option 3 to my post

 

[Loobs]

Yeah we struggled to fill 5/8 signing the best option available for a very reasonable price.

That we did BUT to date the only good signing.

I'd imagine the big issue we have is one more year of our remaining legends, on 1.2 million if you believe this forum.

Another mediocre year coming up I feel, but you can imagine they'll be after a star or two for 2018 and beyond!

I'd like to know where all this cash is coming from, is their penalty for cheating an exemption from the salary cap ?

Fark me if you think Blake Green is a world beater. Best option yes, but the only one available, and it's a reasonable price because that's at the absolute top end of what a club would pay him.

He was in The Storm system, after bouncing from club to club, to UK, to back again, culminating in his 7th club in 9 years.
