Moses’ on field

Interesting 'Bloke in a Bar' podcast with Jordan Samrani talking about Mitch Moses. Samrani discusses Moses' competitiveness, his constant on-field talk and leadership. One quip was that with Moses everything is "like an Origin series", which is an interesting reflection given some on 1EE absurdly doubt whether it's good to have the team captain and chief playmaker be in Origin and Test teams. The very last thing the Eels need is losing contact with cultures of excellence, which Moses obviously…

Mike Rush speaks out on 'unfair' suspension

Eels rail against ‘unfair’ suspension of Spencer Leniu​New Parramatta chief executive Mike Rush says it is unfair that the two-match ban handed down to Samoa firebrand Spencer Leniu during the World Cup will wipe him out of the Eels’ 2027 season opener, pointing to a loophole that has previously allowed players to serve their suspensions in trials.Leniu has accepted a two-game ban for making a money gesture, which was interpreted as questioning the integrity of the referees, after Adam Gee…

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…

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…
