Think groups just have to stand a few feet away from other groups

From the shots of the crowd on tv it doesn’t look like that’s happening either.

Go away

You should become a MOD
You could be in charge of the QLD branch and you’d get to represent all the two- heads and toad lickers that frequent the forum !

“He is still a very young and well respected playing member of our squad. It’s a good thing on behalf of the club that we’re not taking that personally.

"We want to give him an opportunity. He’s a kid that has come through our system and it’s a good example for the rest of the kids coming through - if you’re good enough you’ll get a chance. If you train hard, you’re a better chance.”


Empty words, unless supported by action.

 

[JC99]

He’ll play more next week. Eels will roll over manly and he’ll be given more game time hopefully

Taking what personally?

"I think it’s a really good stance from our club," Arthur said. "Even though the kid is not here next year and going onto other things - which is fine - we are not holding that against him.

"He is still a very young and well respected playing member of our squad. It’s a good thing on behalf of the club that we’re not taking that personally.

"We want to give him an opportunity. He’s a kid that has come through our system and it’s a good example for the rest of the kids coming through - if you’re good enough you’ll get a chance. If you train hard, you’re a better chance.

"We’re proud we give him the opportunity to debut at our club."

[diedpretty]

Why would they bring on a debutant when the game was on the line? Would have been stupid to bring him on.

Thats true - but to give him 10 seconds - thats just a slap in the face. Why bring him on at all. They didn't need to and they could pick him again against a lower side and give him a more memorable debut.

10 seconds on the field .... now 14 days in ISO!

Precisely!
I assume Stefano’s reasons for wanting to leave ?

 

[Russell]

I'm glad he didn't make his debut with us.

We would have had people screaming "one lousy run for a few metres and no tackles"

He's a plodder. Get rid of him! Lol.

 

[tigerap]

Arthur showed how little confidence he has in Stefano....gave him a token run yesterday....Hope this reaffirms to Stefano he should get out of the Eels as fast as he can.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I could understand if he was a winger or a half. Bit ridiculous when he’s a prop. It’s lousy of them not letting him go. Not because of how it benefits us, but him. Clubs rarely stand in a players way if he’s not in first grade and an opportunity comes up somewhere else. Especially when there aren’t any lower grades being played. Really wish that club would die.

This is a pretty redundant statement as there has been nothing to suggest he won’t honour his contract.
