Leeds have lost Webb, Buderus, Eastwood, Senior, Lauititi and Smith in the last two seasons.
Wire and Saints are currently running with seven or more 30+ year olds in their squads
Other than Eastwood, who left after a year due to being homesick, not financial gain, the others left through the choice of the club not the player. Again Stains lost Eastmond to money and Wire lost King back to the NRL
We have, are and going to lose to many players to the almighty buck. Unless the RFL do something quick many of us will become far to disillusioned with the game

Eels seem to have suffered management problems since Brian Smith with short tenure being the norm.
New coach can mean player in's and out's if Stuart does not last Hock may find himself out of favour.
Brian Smith (1997–2006)
Jason Taylor (2006)
Michael Hagan (2007–2008)
Daniel Anderson (2009–2010)
Stephen Kearney (2011-2012)
Brad Arthur (2012)
Ricky Stuart (2013-)

Are you blatantly trying to belittle what was a genuine question/post?
No but I did think you were trying to feed me a line!
If you didn't know, just say "i dont know" and we could have moved on.
From what? It seemed to me you knew the answer already and were trying to be a bit of a smart arse. If you were asking me a genuine question as if I was some kind of font of all knowledge apologies but that is not me.
Im not bothered about the validity of your points etc that is not what i am asking, as more and more information will come out over the coming ours to put an end to any speculative comments
So what were you asking exactly regarding Penrith and why were you asking?

All your posts are negative against the Eels. Who cares if they are not Melbourne Storm? Players have to sign for someone you know.

How many of you would do the same if you were a constant target of match and disciplinary officials and never getting a man of the match award like he should have done on more than one occasion last season. Last Saturday in the international, he was by far the best player on the field but saw the award go to the league's blue eyed boy Sinfield.

Yes we will see him for England, but judging by last Saturdays match attendance I don't think fans really care for the Internationals.Excluding matches with Australia and NZ.
