Player Movements / Rumours 2011/2012

[ningnangnong]

They've signed Ben Barba till 2015.

 

[Kimlo]

Very good signing.

Guess the rumor about him being pissed off and wanting out because Idris wasn't re-signed is just smoke.

 

[Kimlo]

Ryan to the Tigers, you heard it here first.

Ryan who?

 

[ningnangnong]

Andrew Ryan.

Ben Roberts probably told him.

 

[Kimlo]

Interesting signing.

 

[Coxy]

Bear in mind while Andrew Ryan has been at the Dogs a long time, he made his NRL debut at the Eels. So again, he wasn't bred.

 

[Clintos]

...and lasted one game. Well done!

 

[Clintos]

You've also had a few busts too...

 

[Browny]

Thurston overrated would be one

 

[Kaz]

Daniel Mortimer to super league.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Daniel Mortimer to super league.

What a waste.

 

[dukey]

I wonder how he'd go at fullback for the Eels, now that Jarryd's in the 6.

He is a hooker putting him at fullback would be good for a laugh though

 

[Coxy]

What a waste.

Agreed. Would've loved to see him at the Broncos to push for a spot in the halves next year. But playing Q Cup wouldn't appeal to him I suppose.

According to the Fox Sports website (as at time of posting of course) Mortimer has requested permission to look around, but no release has been given. A Panthers forum is reporting the Broncos are looking at him?

Daniel Mortimer's NRL career was at a crossroads last night after the Eels gave him their blessing to explore options in the UK Super League.

Well there you go - Fox Sports lagging behind :)

 

[Alec]

Don't rate him at all. Even during the Eels dream run, he was more of a support player than a creator. And it showed after they began to struggle.
