Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Brooksy was gone to Newcastle earlier in the pre-season. I'm not stating his info is wrong but he said we are putting together a contract for him to sign and he is meeting them Thursday. Until it's official anything can happen.

I think it was today or yesterday in an interview that Brooks said that he was gone and Benji talked him out of it

Pretty good money considering. Some shit to go through late at night on some lines and harrowing to deal with fatalities.

I joined at 39, if I could have my time again I would have been killing myself to get in straight out of school. A young male / female working in traincrew in heavy rail as in the kind we are discussing can create a fantastic future with great perks. In saying that it comes with a caveat. The money is awesome. But it does come at a cost, you have no life, the shift work isn't shift work per se as there isn't any consistency only that you will start on an am shift or a pm shift the start times vary like crazy from day to day. Friends tend to leave because we just don't have the time to hang out, we're always on the go, days off aren't consistent one week you will have a weekend off then the next wed and Thurs. If the young guy doesn't mind the grind of working he can do very well for himself. It is super competitive because the money is so good, but again there is a down side. If it's not an issue for him tell him to have a crack if he needs any advice just pm me and I'll be more than happy to try to help him.

I think his info is great. It's just that things can change quickly in these discussions.

That’s correct I had a shot at The Pom over Alioia leaving and he told me that he doesn’t work for the club just has a good informer that is on the staff at WT.
Pom explained to me that JA leaving just happened basically in one day.
POM has the good oil, as does a few others.

Worked with a mate. He was totally built. He had a contract on his 18th Birthday for Cronulla and dislocated his C4/C5 vertebrae during training....

Contract torn up. The guy was Big, you could tell he would be a real unit.

Dude if you’re not prepared to do that straight out of school you never will be. Living at home. Zero responsibilities. Can set yourself up well at a young age.
 
Just had dinner with my accountant whose son is in the Parra full time squad. He told me that Mitch told the boys on a night out over the weekend that he was staying at the Eels. Take that how you want.


Also though Mitch tonight put up a story on instagram that Penisi resigned … why would he do that if in two days he’s going to ditch the Eels?

Anyway hope he comes but those two things are not great signs


@THE_POM … any thoughts on this? You think Thursday is turning into a thanks but no thanks face to face to be decent to sheens and benji?

You’re right about Mitch’s IG story congratulating the re-signing of Penisi .
I’m still hoping The Poms mail is solid and delivers us Mitch
