Who Wins?

Paulo standoff with Eels

Who Wins?

So we have two games this weekend! 1) Dolphins vs Rorters and 2) Knights vs Penrith Cheetahs! Who wins to book a place on the Grand Final? I'll go for Dolphins and Knights! That would be the best Grand Final in my opinion! My reason is 1) Dolphins have never won and they're the newest team in the NRL and them winning would be encouraging for the Perth Bears coming into the NRL next year!2) The Knights haven't won for awhile and they're also out of the top 4 and no team in the current NRL system…

Parra firming as favourites for best

Please God.But unfortunately seen this before and not gonna get excited yet.

Skin checks

Whilst visiting the Henty Field days on Tuesday I decided to have a free skin check.There was a van set up for the purpose.The skin specialist found a mole on my neck that she was very concerned about, after conferring her colleagues and with my consent we decided to have it removed.The mole was in a position on my neck that was not very visible.They have sent it off for testing and will contact me the results next week.I think it's imperative that everyone gets a yearly skin check.Thanks to…

AI Team we think it will be....Yes a Team List

I had a long discussion with AI (Chat Box) over this and this is what came out. I like the format the actual discussion will I am sure raise the ire of many. 1EE EXCLUSIVE: The 2027 Parramatta Eels 22-Player Squad PlatformThe Starting Side (1–13)1. Isaiah Iongi (Fullback): A dynamic, lightning-quick young fullback built to inject raw speed and modern ball-playing options from the back.2. Josh Addo-Carr (Winger): A premier, established Test-level speedster brought in to score tries and provide…

Eels not happy Paulo is playing for Samoa.

So this apparently is a thorn in the contract negotiations and is leading to some bitterness between the parties.Begs the question. If his knee is chronic, is us even giving him $650k for one season even worth it. The value we see with Junz is experience. But that experience we want on the field too. We have a lot of good young middles, Junz is valuable to them. But as well when on the field he is.How many more games does Junz miss with this issue? Added to that is the fact he is already rested…

Would Blaize Talagi be a worthy investment for Parramatta?

Former Eels junior Blaize Talagi is at a cross roads in his career. Upon debuting for the Eels in 2024 as a 19 year old, he would go on to play 19 games in his rookie season, playing Fullback, Wing, Centre and Five-Eighth. Talagi had an option in his favour for 2025, upon which he turned down for a chance to partner Nathan Cleary at Penrith. Sounded like a sweet deal, go to the best organisation in Australian sport to hone your craft alongside a future immortal.Issue is, it has not been all…

Finals attendance figures

The NRL must be stocked with the attendance this weekend... 28k on Friday, 26k in Auckland, 17k last night and plenty of empty seats for today's game. And that's despite most of the stadiums holding much larger numbers.With Souths now gone, and Newcastle without a home game, there are no other clubs that will pull big numbers. Imagine a finals series with Parra, Canterbury, St George, Souths, Brisbane, Newcastle, Wests.

Liam Martin and Jacob Preston

On NRL360 last night Braith Anasta stated that Liam Martin had given Penrith until 25 August to start negotiations and sort out his future. It was also stated that Martin is looking at a $1 million paycheck.  Now I doubt Penrith are in a position to offer such cash for Martin with the likes of Yeo and Cleary yet to put pen to paper and the Chiefs and Bears circling being cashed up.  Anasta also said that the Dogs had offered Jacob Preston a 3 year deal worth $1.9 million or as was put $630K a…

Remember Rodney Hogg

Rodney was a late arrival to Test cricket at age 27. Born in Victoria he was overlooked by state selectors and moved to Adelaide to find an earlier path to Shield.He was selected and within a year he was noticed by Alan Davidson who mentioned his name to National Selectors. Just before this Lillee and co had debarked to Packer's World Cricket.So Hoggie was picked to play in the home series against the Poms and then take on the Pakistanis in the summer of 78-79.The games purists were as shocked…
