Who is the worst ref in the NRL?

Grant Atkins - We saw his atrocious performance on Thursday night. I didn't think he could top that but then I watched Manly vs Newcastle (with Atkins in the bunker). He just overturned a completely legitimate try to Newcastle that was already…

Rolling mauls

Is there are specific rule against rolling mauls? At the 5:14 min mark the roosters prevent a dominate tackle by assisting their player and preventing parra dominance in the tackle at that point. It gave them the opportunity to push up and take…

Where is our talent coming from

This is a slightly different tack to the same old questions, but at the same time, I think it identifies with Parra's need to be more visionary with our development squads and recruitment. Last night I was at the annual presentation of a senior…

The Eels team that should be.

Ok, so I have been thinking of the current team and the selection and the BA influence that drives us nuts, I for one would like everyone's top 17 from the 1st 13 to the bench, rotation and minutes. My 2 cents worth ... Waqa out completely replaced…

"Just to make sure, only reason folks are saying we shouldn't try and get wighton is because he will be expensive right? No one thinks he isn't good? Just want to double check that.
Im pretty sure we have just under a million left in the cap with 2…"

"But we will not be finding or buying a superstar anytime soon, especially with most of our coin wrapped up one our 1, 6 & 7.
Only way to do that is through pathways and develop one. Wighton at Centre is better than Waqa, simple as that. Look at all…"

"Interesting BA, I don't think he is leaving Canberra for a bigger contract. He had been on close to a Mil for years, being offered at minimum 900k to stay.
If he stays in Canberra it's because he wants a big money deal.
If he leaves it'll be because…"

"True, the we are wondering how we could afford him, well if we couldn't we wouldn't go for him. I wonder if it will just be a one year thing then he moves elsewhere in 2024?"

"A 30 year old who's best days are  way behind him and has always been overrated is not going to add shit to   Parramatta ,but the eels with the flops running them will pay him a million a year for the 5 years .

"Has there been talks already?
It's strangely and yet delightfully suspicious that Parra announce they are looking for an X factor type of back that can considerably aid our chances and Wighton then comes out to look at his options in the market!"

"I dunno, I just don't see how he makes us better. I would much rather we invest in Russell & Dunster. He's like Moses, he knows this is his last big contract, he wants a max contract and I just don't see the value. Where woukd we play him ? His FB…"
