NRL Rumour Mill Thread (Spoilers)

I think Fien would be worth keeping for next year only if it's a back up role - like Priddis in 2010.

King is signed for next year but seems unlikely to be staying.
 
fiens been hard done by if they dont resign him. playing him out of position and he tries his guts out.

both the stanley brothers are the biggest wastes of space in the NRL, if they get new contracts its a joke.

haven't seen to much of king but reins definitely a better player, i thought king just turned newcastle down recently and opted a few more years at the dragons?

Fien you are joking, he wants to play 1/2back, Fien has played 2 years too long....
King is our best hooker, and I rate Garvey and Cook our lower graders better than Rein, for some reason Price loves Rein, I would take King over Rein everyday of the week and twice on Sunday's...
 
Illawarra Mercury suggesting Matt Prior, Chase Stanley, Cameron King and Nathan Fien all unlikely to be at the Dragons in 2014. How many will end up at the Eels???

Bold prediction...none...

I feel that the Eels are already top 4 material for Season 2014.

I am employing, not just loyalty and pride...but also mathematical theory...

Two negatives (wooden spoons) make a positive.
 
Prior I wouldn't be to upset to see go why he keeps getting a start at centre kills me whenever I see him line up out there, I don't think he has created a line break or even passed the ball in 4 years. Rein and King both need to stay, the Stanley brothers can stay as long as it is on basic contract only with incentives. Fien does get a bad wrap and IMO has been hard done by a good club man so worth another contract for loyalty alone, again as long as we aren't paying overs and loosing a junior because of it.

I'm liking the squad for next year and Leith if the Eels are top 4 next year then we are certainties for another Premiership. :p

Drawing inspiration from the 2003 Panthers.
 
Guess who was offered to the Dragons during the week at 50% of his wages (Eels paying the remainder) for the next few seasons..

Chris Sandow.

They received a polite - thanks but no thanks

Widdop playing deep out the back to Dugan giving him the space he needs and Williams playing short to Thompson and Creagh on the edges and Merrin in the middle, very exciting propositions
 
Part of Sandows contract will say he must have accommodation no less than 100 metres from a poker Machine.

It would be a smart way for the Eels to recoup some of their wasted cap space, by simply providing him a portable pokie, following him around and collecting, that would subsidise his $600K+.

In fact if they could turn that into a 3rd Party deal they could have him pay his own salary and get him off the books.

I's a pretty cruel comment to make about a person who obviously has an addiction to gambling, remember that Hindmarsh admitted he squandered $$$$ and only goes to show that RL players aren't immune to addictive traits that can see them consumed, we all have our vices, just some more than others, while it may seem funny to take the piss we must have some compassion for players like this.

In hindsight you are most probably right.
Was only a joke was not my intention to offend.
