Because that is journalism.... what is the info based on?



Its more wishful thinking from my end to be honest. I'd be gutted to see him leave.

Maybe this is one of the sacrifices we have to pay as the club look to trying to balance the books?

Perhaps it's more to do with Baloo's & Purtill's all round assessment of Eden. And perhaps his contract extension was NB's call.

spot on durham you just cant keep everybody!



lets keep all 3 then, murphy grix and eden vying for one spot, grix or murphy plays whole season at full back while the other two play for batley all season



and who know what the cash offer is..you would think its very good (they got money from wigan for green, also got money for taylor from wigan)



might of been too good to turn down, if the season tickets sales arent going well then ken davy is prob thinking ill take the money here instead, after paying for kopzchak aswell

this...

we did sign murphy to be our 2012 full back, but he was in rehab and eden took his chance.



wakefield fans who saw alot of murphy said he was a brilliant full back.. we havent seen this, only played 2 games in that position! you need a good run at it.



if eden is going then it might be down to balancing the books, the offer too good to turn down for a player who in the coaches eyes is behind grix/murphy and would prob of been playing full back for batley next season.



my gripe is that he has the future potential... more so than grix... but grix can cover half back eden cant you see.

Mason has gone.Club has accepted KRs bid for Eden.It is up to the player to accept personal terms.

So where will Mason end up?

I have always liked Mason why the fall from grace i would have him at rovers

rubbish if thats the case, sorry but i cant see how selling one of the best talents this club has had for decades can be seen as a positive. unless its a ridiculous amount of money, and if it was i think the club should tell us then, is anything but a bad move. if its money we are after why not lurs sell all our best players n not worry about on field performances? top teams would build around talent like his not cash in the 1st opportunity we get !

Agree 100% but he gets more than his fair share of criticism on here so I think there are a few who will be glad to see the back of him. To me he is a work in progress but one with the potential to be great, Cas missed out and looks like we will too and it will be galling if he does become the finished article there. Perhaps the coaches see things differently but as a supporter would be much happier with him in our squad than out of it and unless any money and room on the salary cap gets channeled into a quality signing (always a possibility something is going on and this move is the trigger) I can not see the logic behind it.

Where has this idea that Eden is great come from.



He played well at the begining of the season and then disappeared like most of the team..



What is this potential that everyone is on about.



Correct me if i am wrong but do we not have some good kids coming through from the Under nineteens who have a lot of potential in the backs. Maybe one of them will in the coaches views be better than Eden.



I can only assume that because NB said he was the new Billy Slater everyone thinks we are going to lose out on the new BIlly Slater.



CAS coaches wanted to keep him but not so much that they were prepared to offload any of their other kids to keep him.



Purtill ( the Knights coach), Thorman the backs coach and Baloo the head coach have seen him more than any of us and they obviously dont believe the new BIlly Slater hype and are hapy for him to go so why doubt them..



Which of the Eden lovers ( that is not the filter by the way) on here are going to say they can identify talent better than our 3 coaches.



I just do not get it.



There are only two players at our club who IMHO are irreplaceable Brough and Eorl. All of the others could go and as long as their are decent replacements / cover they would not be missed.

and purtill subbed him in the england knights game recently... this after he wasnt picked behind riley (warringtons winger) in the first game v scotland



the club want the money over a player who would most likely be playing for batley all next season.

Can see Batley wanting forwards to be honest rather than backs off us and if Eden was to stay and not get in the team would not think we would want to risk exposing him to a season of Championship rugby when an injury to Grix would probably have him back in the team.
