Corey Horsburgh, do we or don't we?

So the news of Horsburgh being given permission to talk elsewhere from Canberra doesn't come as a shock. There was talk circulating about a month ago he was in talks with Brisbane over a move there while still contracted to the Raiders. Horsburgh is

Proposition: Michael Cheika, could he do a GM role?

So with much negativity towards our recruitment, fairly so, questions are who could be the ones to possibly helps things be different. Poppa brought Cheika up and gave me inspiration to form this discussion. Michael Cheika has been known as a coach i

Mitch Moses - PNG 007?

Is anyone else getting an odd feeling that Mitch Moses may be the PNG Marquee 007?

Michael Chammas confirmed recently on a podcast that 007 would be a halfback, and would essentially be the marquee man for the side. Considering the quality PNG have al

Eels have always been battlers.

I understand the frustration with losing and lack of recruitment but the eels have always have always been a club that has had to scratch and claw for everything it gets. From entering the competition to current day nothing has been easy and the nrl

Extra Final: 3rd vs 4th?

V'Landys wants the two losers of the two preliminary finals to play off for what is effectively third place, before the grand final (say, Thurs or Fri night). Apparently the players union is opposed, citing a concern about player workload from an ext

Put your conspiracy hats on - NRL indigenous round

Why has the NRL decided to lock Parramatta in as a permanent fixture against South Sydney on indigenous round ?? 

South Sydney are well known as the most heavily followed indigenous club. 

Since the inception of indigenous round in 2012 south Sydney

A couple of standouts with an eye for the future: Teancum, Samrani/Addo-Carr, Williams, Ryley, Junior, Moses, Pryke

First, what a shame. First 20 minutes and Jye fucking Gray. 

Now, some points for discussion:

1. Teancum is a beast. Him and Tuivati are what we build aorund please.

2. Jack Williams has had 4-5 games on the run where he's the best player on the pitch,

Samrani permanent centre ?

Starting to get to the point maybe he should just stay in the centres full time ? Maybe an offseason working on his speed but he's genuinely a good attacking option. I would like to see the club spend some money on some outside backs but seems ado is

Lack of quality to win close games

You look at the roosters and Penrith and all those top teams.You got the Cleary,yeos,Sam walker Teddy and many more that can put the team on the back and complete a comeback.

This is what separates us from the top teams,players that can clutch up and

Team Regression

I cannot honestly say that this team is improving from week to week.

How a team say that they have 'learned' or 'improved' or 'applied themselves' during the week based on an opening performance such as today.

How HARD is it for 10 minutes each week to

An embarrassment!

This team, I'm afraid, is sub standard for the NRL. We are predictable, mistaken ridden, defensively poor,  typically off the pace. How long does it take until we find some decent defensive strategies to deal with Cody W and Alex J. We know its comin
