Where do we see the EELS finishing?

Sneaky ploy which makes Panthers defense so good.

Charlie Guymer send off

I know we won, but the Jacob Liddle "strip" penalty at the 24:21 to go mark needs to be called out as a failure of the ref's knowledge of the rules.A penalty restart cannot legally occur until the referee has officially designated the mark. Yet, as the footage clearly shows, the ref was still mid-motion signaling the strip while Liddle was already tapping the ball. Because the ref failed to stop and set the mark a mandatory "condition precedent" under the laws the play should have been ruled…

Sneaky ploy which makes Panthers defense so good.

Willie Mason is onto something. The Panthers give away a set restart on the first tackle if they lose the contact. They value getting their line set, and not allowing the opposition any momentum that they're prepared to give away a 6 again on the first tackle. Very clever. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWN9R_FpdnW/?igsh=bzJ6YmZlaHNvNThs

Where do we see the EELS finishing?

Just eager to see where everyone thinks we will place on the table come season end?As of now, I have us between 6th-10th, just depending on injuries and how much our middle defence improves throughout the year. Another factor is if we unearth some youngsters like brown and how they impact the team.However, if we somehow snag a result this week against Penrith we will be sitting at 3 wins and 1 losses, which is remarkable considering we would have versed the best 3 teams, all away from home.

This guy free to speak to other clubs soon

Thats how lacklustre the people running recruitment and retention roll. Our best prop, yet he can talk to other clubs in a few months,  and were extremely short on go forward props.When he was only signed until 2027, I honestly couldn't believe it. Anyone could see he could be the cornerstone of the eels pack for a decade,  yet the absolute dh's in R&R have a situation where we have one of our best prospects since Utokimanu ( don't get me started on Utokimanu), off contract next year. Last…

Time to throw good $$$ for Mariota

Lookin at our starts, meterage, dominance etc. Enter Ata Mariota (Canberra), the samoan at 24 can be what we need. Unsigned for 2027 onwards. Lookin at the market good size props lack. Good years in him. If he was in stickys plans, he would have been signed for 2027. If we dont act, Perth bears or someone willHe has good leg drive, bends the line, hits holes well Blow the raiders offer out of the water. We keep missing out because low ball offers.  Thoughts?

Irony is Even Deader

I posted this earlier on Hoe's blog, which was poor placement."Isn't it Ironic, Don'tcha think?

Shark Attack..... Moses told to be wary of the surf!

Parramatta has moved their pre season training to Lennox Head for this week.They have been warned that when your luck is out, you need to be very careful going into the surf! in Northern NSW.Parramatta officials are very wary of these danger's as Cronulla Sharks have been preparing to go North for the ambush for sometime. Mitchel Moses has been specially fitted with a shark proof vest but there are concerns that even paddling in the surf could be dangerous for Mitch's notorious "shark bait"…

Poppa's Dilemma, Welcome to my Corner, come in and have a Cuppa with a Silly Old Bastard. I think it's New Year Shortly?

Well we have been having a few dilemma's around here lately and I am getting confused, from what I can tell we have a lot of problems telling our left from our right. We don't have this problem at home because my wife is always right and I am constantly being left out. They tell me I am getting old and stupid! A man named David call him Poppa, because thats who everyone knows him as maybe suffering from some cognitive issues, he  invited two of his friends over—both of whom were also battling…
