Radradra, Hayne or Sivo - Most NRL Tries

I reckon if Semi, Haynes or Sivo had persisted in the NRL we might be talking about them breaking the NRL try scoring record. I think Semi and Hayne were close to 1 try per game average over 100 games? Thoughts?

2026 Disrupter Rule - Why wasn't this a penalty to the Eels?

Why wasn't this a penatly against the Broncos last night?

The new aerial contest rules state that to catch or bat the ball back, players must use two hands. Using one hand to slap the ball down is a penatly.

In realtime it was a little difficult to jud

Greatest Eels Comebacks?

So the Eels turned a 6-20 deficit (after 25 mins) against the Broncos, the previous year's (2025) grand final winners, into not only a 22-20 half time lead but a 40-32 win. It was spectacularly dumbfounding to watch. 

What Eels comebacks stand out for

WHATEVER IT TAKES, SIGN NELSON IMMEDIATELY

We have no real forwards other then Sam T who even look like breaking the line.
Hopegood ISNT a prop and Williams barely makes it.
We need some muscle
we have alot of back rowers playing out of position.


Whatever it takes
SIGN NELSON
I honestly dont even c

The Eels won the last meeting here 22-20 in a Walsh-inspired cliffhanger, but they have lost four of the past five games against the Broncos, who start as raging favourites.

WHAT A WIN BOYZZZ

What a win, we stuck in there the whole game after a terrible start to the game. Tuilagi was brilliant despite an early high tackle leading to a try he scored 2 tries and was a brilliant ball runner of the edge. Iongi is the spark th

The bench won us the game tonight

Tuivaiti, Doorey, Walker and TDS, all incredible tonight

We need to have serious talks on benching Paulo 

TDS finally a good game!

Can Pezet leave already

Jeez..The amount of articles I've seen of Jonah glazing Brisbane and talking bout Ezra and Reece.Not even being focused on us.That could be a massive issue if his heads already in Brisbane and his not focused here.

could be back 1-3 weeks if not sevear but if servaer then a couple months on sideline.

Will Penasini out - Jordan Samrani in

dropped ?

Didn't notice any injuries.  He finished the game and was named yesterday. 

Seems strange.   Also well done to Samrani.   Made something like 169m + in cup 

And Samrani looks now to be ahead of Kelly 

1eE Modern day Eels team: Bench back-rower

We finally made it to the last spot in the 17. The bench back-rower.

Dean Pay and Junior Paulo won out the bench middle spots. Narrowly beating Daniel Wagon (who i secretly hope gets the 17 spot as he is underrated to me).

Once this is done i will do c
