For me, if there was a single take-out from the Eel's trial against the Raiders then it was the fact that Parramatta was more than willing to offload in the tackle.
Junior Paulo led the side in that regard, but he wasn't the only Eel…

Imagine the Eels get off to a flyer. Riding high on the table and their stocks soaring again, as their young guns take the competition by the storm. What's the worst thing you could do at that point? How about…

Eels in All Stars Game
Surprised there hasn't been a blog created about the performance of our three Eels who played in the All Stars match last Friday night. Thought I may as well start one up as it was exciting to see French, Taka and our new recruit Fergo for the first…

"Yeah but that was a few years ago, when you consider what some other forwards are getting like Klemmer reportedly over $900k, Woods over $800k, Eastwood about $800k just to name a few, than the deal for George doesn't look that bad, in fact if you c…"
"Yes, 400k is what he is still owed by Souths for the rest of this season meaning they have already payed him about 200k for this season so far. To put it simply, he is currently on about $600k per year at souths and we will be paying him $400k this…"
"That's a risk i think we have to take Al, we can't all be screaming at the club to buy a big front rower than poo poo it when they try, they don't come any bigger than George. There is a big difference between his best and his worst the trick is to…"
"Great to see The Clubs foresight in keeping David associated with the Club.I can see David as an assistant coach one day and who knows where that will take him.Its "Good News Week" when you read articles like that about a Parra Player."
"I read it as 400 k for 2019 and 700k per year for seasons 2020 and 2021 is this what it is?"
"Bennett said Poore was only worth 350 or 400k and no more. We paid overs and as it turned out he was right
In fact I believe Bennett said no prop was worth for than 400k"

"Hoe, I agree with the premise but not the fact!
i.e your quote; " there isn't enough young talent to overcome that weakness. Dylan Brown is the best of the bunch and Maloney is doing okay as well, but it'a not going to be enough in the short term."…"

"Orrrr maybe Poore was paid 600k to come lol"
"We all do it for the money. I dont turn up to work every day because I love the company. I turn up for the money. Why should NRL players be any different?"
"I hope we get him for this year and keep Gutherson "
"He fires a lot of buckshot Tad, something always hits the mark.
He is also a very impatient person who would start a lot of wars. Yes he comes in on a conference call for about 3 hours every Tuesday.
I'm not a great one for stats tad and I think you…"

"Must be a done deal if Bennett has denied it, especially given his track record recently!!!!"
"Yep, well said Fatty. I agree, along with TAD and Col. Barring something miraculous, it's time for change for everyone involved: The club, Athur, players, maybe the fans as well.
Hard to believe Col and I agree on something but we did mention seemin…"

"HKF, "Finally, Parra Premiers" It had a year on the end of it, but I can't remember what year it was.
My current account use to be "Stay on your bloody wing IDIOTS" :)"

"Burgess when in form is worth the 700k, unfortunately when he isn't in form he isn't worth half that.
We do need another big body in the middle to help Junior but will he be the same player away from his brothers???"

There was renewed speculation that the giant prop had received a revived and…"
"I don't think Bennett necessarily wanted to let Poore go but they'd just won the minor premiership and had to let some players go so they could fit under the cap. Poore was an Origin player at the time."
"Didnt Bennett resign Dan Hunt ? we all know how that went"
"Last time Bennett let go a prop and Parra paid overs was Justin Poore.
We all know how that went"

"The concern with this is that I am of the belief that GB is a confidence player. Now when he is high, you could argue that he is unstoppable, but moving away from seeing his brothers and playing and training with them daily what will that do to hi…"

Arthur Meets The Coaching Gods, In Struggle City
Brad Arthur's Waterloo is now. 2019. And he has a lot to straighten out, including a tie. Many Eels fans are of the opinion, the "bush coach", is "clue-less" and should be sacked. Many would "boo Santa Claus" too. Many Eels fans say a semi-final…

French or Gutho ???
Most people would agree that Gutho has been better then French at the back, He should be a walk up start at 1, But we are very skinny in the centre position Guth can play well and French simply would be to small there, French looked in good nick in…
