Big yes to Nightingale for 400K. As long as it doesn't affect our ability to be super competitive in the market to try to lure a world class halfback here in 2016, I don't think it would though. A club like us should never turn down someone with the class of Nightingale.

Nah we can't mate. Apparently we only have the ability to recruit one position at a time. Given halfback is where we lack the most we can't sign players in any other positions until we have that sorted. :rolleyes:

Blake Austin to Canberra raiders 3yrs

So does that mean we still do not a have a quality 1/2 or is Flanno gunna perform a miracle next week. Oh and by the way we still do not have a quality hard Strait running\ hitting prop.

Apart from a 1/2 a quality prop is the next most important position to fill.


Have we signed Vave he was starting to shape up a bit in the latter part of the season or is he going to Manly?

Don't believe it.

My mate that is a Parra member said the club sent him an email this morning to say that he will be trialing over there. That's not to say he is definitely going.

He could play both leagues and just miss the first few games of the NFL season. But he wouldn't get any pre-season or anything with them over there and if he gets injured im pretty sure Parra wouldn't be too happy.
What position do you think he would play in the NFL. I think he would have to be at wide receiver.

It sucks that he is backing out of four nations though to go trial. Love watching him play.

EDIT: Here's the letter my mate got. Zero tackle just put it up.

HAYNE QUITS NRL TO PURSUE NFL DREAM
PARRAEELS.COM.AU – OCTOBER 15, 2014
POSTED IN: JARRYD HAYNE, NEWS, PARRAMATTA EELS, PLAYER MOVEMENTS
Jarryd Hayne

Superstar fullback Jarryd Hayne has been granted a conditional release from the Parramatta Eels and will pursue an opportunity to play American Football. Read the full statement from the club's website below.

Dear Blue and Gold Army,

For the past 24 months I’ve been thinking about having a crack in the NFL, and over the last 12 months I’ve been seriously considering it.

Today I can officially announce that I will be heading to the United States to pursue an opportunity to play American Football.

I will be withdrawing from the Kangaroos Four Nations side immediately, and accepting a conditional release from the Eels to make the move overseas.

The reason I didn’t make this decision any earlier was because of the part I played in getting Brad to the club and the way we finished the season. I felt I owed the Club one more year and I gave it everything I could.

It’s always been a dream of mine to play in the NFL, and at my age, this is my one and only chance at having a crack at playing there.

I’m excited about the potential opportunities that lie ahead. I’ve known the deadline has been looming for me to make this call, and I believe the right time is now.

I’m so passionate about the challenge that lies ahead for me, not only as an athlete but more so as a person. It’s the hardest decision I have ever had to make in my life. I’m leaving my teammates, friends, and most importantly my family; but for me to grow as an athlete and a person I feel this is the right step to take.

It hasn’t been an easy decision for me to leave the Eels, the club’s been my home and family since I was 13, and I’ve always been proud to pull on the Blue and Gold jersey with my teammates.

The hardest thing about leaving the club is there’s stability for the first time in a long time, but I know where my heart lies and I’m following that.

I’m always telling people to chase their dreams and follow their hearts, if I don’t live by that I’m not being honest with myself.

I'm leaving knowing that I have signed a ‘lifetime agreement’ with the Eels, so if I return to the NRL, it will be to Parramatta.

I'm grateful to all of you for the support you've shown me at this club, thank you.
