Stefano Utoikamanu #241

[Tiger_Steve]

Sorry but I can't help but have a really bad feeling about this. I would be very surprised if they don't sweet talk him into backflipping ESPECIALLY if he has a great year.

Contract or not, they and the NRL will find a way.

Mate it’s a legal contract. Eels can piss off. We can’t lose this unless we are morons

Judging by Justin P himself stating he would be here in 2021 would suggest we wont be letting him go as he knows us fans will go off..
At least we can watch him this year in NRL knowing he is on his way and also gets NRL experience..

Don’t be surprised if Pascoe folds like a cheap suit.

Unfortunately that is in the back of my mind... Until we stand strong for a longer period of time it is hard to believe..

In saying that I really do think Justin and the team have done an excellent job with recruiting quality younger players and if we can have the right experienced guys with them we will be a force in the next few years....

So Parra has announced they have upgraded him to top 30 for this year...

Question - We have signed him for 2021 onwards but are the eels allowed to talk him out of it so he stays with them OR does he need us to release him as he has signed with us?

I know you are all saying its no chance but this is the Eels we are talking about... Pure scum

If the WT three year contract has been registered, then under the current rules, Parramatta would not be able to have discussions with him for beyond this year until November 1st 2022.

Great point!

 

[Rugba]

They can talk just can’t offer a actual contract till then, hence why this whole allowing to sign a year earlier is a farce and so many broken contracts since they moved to this new model

 

[Rugba]

and I should add even if they do offer a contract NRL won’t do anything like with the warriors who tabled a contract to Dylan brown this time last year

 

[Ponyo]

They can't offer a contract before November, in which case we would have to release him - not worried. I'm glad he's getting payed an extra 35k or so a year minimum upgrade to be in the top 30 - he deserves it for his hard work & training over the summer. He'll be in prime shape come 2021 he's just honouring his contract. In the meantime, Parramatta recruits: Salesi Fainga'a (Fiji), Tyler Field (Aus schools), Joe Taipari (NZ/touch), Ejay Toeava (NZ/cousin of All Black Isaiah Toeava) & William Kei (NZ/cousin of Jonah Lomu) - the last two guys are highly rated juniors

 

[Jimmy]

Can these guys actually get lost..like far out we get it you poached our players illegally...now we’ve stollen one of yours legally and your having a fit...double standards much....honestly I hate parra more than Penrith and grubithos combined

Are you suggesting the Eels will stick by the rules...?.haha

 

[Tiger_2795]

Reading the comments and posts from parra regarding him has me bloody filthy and I’d be lying if I wasn’t worried that he’ll try and backflip, nothing to do with him and all with parra. I was an Eels junior and have respected them and always liked them since, but the way this, matto and slimey has gone down has me seeing the true light. Biggest scums in the competition

Snakes upgrading Stefano - can they do it without his consent? NRL.com making out like upgrading him to Top 30 stops him leaving in 2020, which I don't think it does.

So question is did Stefano himself accept the Top 30 offer if he believes he's not going to get released?

wouldn't it be written into his contract already if he's on one of those pathways type contract? We can upgrade you to full time whenever we like????

But if they were that hot on him then surely they should've done it sooner???

Typical slimeys......hate their guts...he should ask Moses how to play the mental health card....oh that's right this guy seems to have scruples

 

[Russell]

Slimys are just filth, they get it from all their supporters, who are also filth.

Carrying it a bit far saying they are worse than "Pride of the League"

The 'Riff' run a poor third imo.

It’s just rubbish headline to mask the fact he was upgraded to top 30 NRL contract for duration of his current contract. No drama.

Hey mate

Are you saying all the players you mentioned at the end are signed by us?

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Has Parramatta arranged for the Stefano to be included in the Australia Day Honour's list?

I’m hearing they nominated him for young Australian of the year.
