"Yep, LB, the defensive regression of the Eels since 2022 is "alarming" to use a Slater term. Currently, we concede almost 26 points per game. The worse in the Arthur era. Worse than 2018. 
I suspect there's a lot of frustatration in the team that is…"

"The Eels need to persist with Luca and members need to remember his age. He is a great young talent and will have occassional brain fades as most young players do but he is keen to get in and have a go."

"Super, good point mate. IMO, it's out of necessity: the mother of all experiments & inventions.
But it seems the brave Talagi experiment, one BA seemed excited about, is off for now.
Sanders is the new experiment who should relieve some kicking duty…"

"Excellent points, Bup. Agree. And thanks for the kind words, mate. 
Spot on. We've got a bit of time up our sleeve, but not a hell of a lot. Our front row and fullback will be in the critical basket in the not too distant future. 
I suspect some of…"

Youngest Cleary has signed for the warriors, lot of these young halves don't want to be stuck behind great halfbacks. Not sure if it's the best career move lol

"I think the number of changes BA has been making recently reflects the pressure he's under. He's often a pick and stick guy but he's been making a decent number of non-injury changes every week."

R8 v Manly: The Rise and Fall of the Eels

  The free-falling Eels are staring down the barrel of another nail in their season’s coffin. They sit like ducks in the target arrow of the public's microscope just waiting to dissect their ANZAC performance. Despite the Eagles superior position and form, both the Eels and Eagles have struggled for consistency this year. The Eagles have only won back-to-back games once (R1-R2) this year, whilst the Eels have not won back-to-back games yet and are facing two straight losses. The Eels defence…

Nuclear Power a Balanced View

I say this because Daz pointed…
