Teancum Brown pushing his case for R1

51 minutes 13 runs128 m  pack leader44m post contact - overall eader37 tackles.   - overall  leader93% tackle efficiency - very high 1 try2 offloads  Ill have more to say about him later, but he has to be in the running for a top 17 spot there's no doubt.  He should be on the 6 man bench regardless. If he can replicate this performance against the Roosters this weekend,  I can't see how the coaching staff can leave him out of the 19 man squad. Brown has also been a leader in preseason training…

Ryles 2.0: 2026 gets off to a bright start in Eels trial

Trials always present the double edged sword of fans getting excited that footy is finally returning, while trying to hold back on any bold predictions given the chopping and changing that occurs at this time of year.  Parramatta fielded a mix of youth and experience in their starting 13 against a Sharks side that were NRL-heavy in the forwards, while fielding a NSW Cup backline.  Ryles opted for a fairly young forward pack with Kelma Tuilagi the most experienced in the engine room, although he…

Happy Monday, if anyone wants a good laugh to start their week, skip to 32:50 mark and listen to this f***wit talk. It is laughable seriously. Claiming the offer of $300k was a great deal and we can put that into our junior system. But said we can put some money into the cap but at same time said they cannot break the rules in regard to cap as it is unfair. But can break the rules with contracts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxaWPbSh20s

Picking Up Where We Left Off?

Obviously, it’s only a trial. Other than reviving Henson Park, at best it's test of whether juniors' physicality is up to the task. We passed that test. Perhaps, there were symptoms of something else. We seemed to have picked up where we left off at the end of last year. Two things impressed me, other than the juniors coming through. Culture. Defence. There was cohesion to our systems and structures, both with and without the ball, even when the firsts went off. Winning helps, but players were…

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…
