Thoughts on the Eli Kaota brain injury ?

Crazy that he was allowed to step onto the field after the shot he took in warmups. He was basically knocked out for a second. Storm might be able to seek legal compensation from Tonga for it ? Im not even sure if he'll play footy next year or ever…

'THE FUTURE IS NOW'! THE FUTURE IS PATHWAYS!

I believe, and history proves it, the Eels small window of success ( early to mid 80s) was achieved from a core group of experienced players combined with a group of young superstars that came through our junior systems. Throughout the past 25…

"I never really rated Brad Arthur as a great coach..He definitely seemed like a caring person but as for coaching below average. Ryles is far better in my opinion "

"Exactly mate, he's gone and recruiting and contract sagas still remain. He had a boss, that boss is supposed to be the guy calling the shots. If he didn't agree with the JA / MA shit , it was his job to call it and supply us with better options .…"

"I agree with you Wiz.
People act like BA won us 5 spoons and was the one responsible for our salary cap breach. Yes he was our coach for 2 seasons too long and made a couple of shit calls over those years. I was pissed with the JA selections and…"

"We won't even be able to dream of premiership success until we get a decent recruiter. If we don't find some success in 2026 , I think you'll see MON sacrifice his mate Ben Rogers .
I just hope Ryles being more of an Alpha then Arthur , he won't…"
