The injury ward

Given the raft of injuries across first grade I thought it best to collate it all together to see where we currently sit. Have sorted it into positions. 1. Iongi 2. Twidle 3. Russell (maybe back this week) 4. Samrani 5. Simonsson 6. Pezet 7. (Moses groin but still playing) 8. (Paulo carrying an injury but still playing) 9. (Smith carrying an injury but still playing) 10.

It just gets to a point

Who's responsible - 7 from or last 11 signings have been downright failures

 7 from of the Eels last 11 fg standard signings have been nothing short of embarrassing.  We're either signing over the hill players ( 29 - 30 you +),  players with commitment issues,  or players with zero upside unwanted by previous clubs  Mitch Rein — 31–32 (Titans)Josh Hodgson — 32–33 (Raiders)J’maine Hopgood — 23–24 (Panthers system)Joe Ofahengaue — 28 (Wests Tigers, mid-season)Kelma Tuilagi — 24–25 (Wests Tigers)Zac Lomax — 24–25 (Dragons)Josh Addo-Carr — 29–30 (Bulldogs)Jack de Belin —…

POPPA's CORNER : SACKING THE CAPTAIN......

There is a blog going on about sacking the Captain and a general opinion that Moses is a bad one....a bit of a wanker as well. Just to put a different perspective on it.....sack Moses as captain....who replaces him?Now Moses is a human being, he is playing injured, that should be a greater concern given his history.Now his being human has other consequences, how would he react if the captaincy was taken off him? i.e. would he want to stay at Parra.....my guess is no, part the ways.....don't…

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…
