No Kemla* - Team list day v manly

This should be our team list vs Manly im hoping.  Williams and Guymer both did a great job against the Dogs.  We cannot go with Kelma Tuilagi back in the starting 13.  We looked much better with Moretti starting and Williams out wider.  Both Williams

The Unicorns Strike Back

If some of you people can check in your hipocracy after last week, it may be you will be able to see your own biases.

Have a read of what Pro Daz said  about scapegoats. You called it well Daz and it showed up how people change given circumstances and

The real reason why Eels won

Spot the difference. 

Also if you want to see what a true champion looks like - note what the champion is doing while everyone else is celebrating.  This person celebrates with championships.

This guy better than we have and most available. - sign him

Does anyone else have a better suggestion.??

NRL limit on contact training

"All 17 NRL clubs were informed on the eve of the season that their players are to engage in no more than 100 minutes on a regular seven-day turnaround." to limit brain injury....I think it includes wrestling. 

Was there previously an NRL limit? 100 m

Game Day Blog R7 v Dogs: The M*A*S*H Unit (UPSET W38-20 WOW)

We host our greatest and longest foe this afternoon. Can our brave 1986 premiership warriors inspire us?

"It's come without warning," Gus Gould told us earlier this week. 

He was not referring to our injury list that is around half our squad. A M*A*

Credit where credit due

I have been very critical of our team last week but to win despite all injuries against a top 4 team is impressive. Seen we have DNA that something to proud of.

Sean Russell ruled out. Can we forfeit?

That's 13 players out against team which steamrolled the Panthers. I am not going to watch.

Another Ricky Stuart spray coming

Canberra are absolutely getting cheated by Gough and Bunker. Started with a a ridiculous no try call then Horsborough got ripped off an obvious set restarts then got penalised. Finished off with a error on Jed Stuart that should of been a strip. You

Are the Dragons saving us from wooden spoon?

I have seen our upcoming schedule cannot see us win next 8 weeks . Hoping that Dragons can remain bad save us from wooden spoon. Just the injuries are too much to handle . Guess FIFA world cup be on even not soccer fan have something to watch other t

What’s the Deal with De Belin?

We’re down to a third rate squad, yet he’s still coming off the bench. Is he carrying something, or just not in favour at the moment?
He was brought in as a key signing and used to play big minutes at the Dragons ...  I know that doesn't count for m

Drinking the pre season Kool-aid

We were drinking the Kool-Aid from day one of the pre-season. Big gulps. 
Every little thing in the off-season felt like proof we were onto something. The Lomax stance? Finally, we’ve got a backbone. The club stands for something. Love it.

Loko Pasifiki Tonga requests immediate release

Sign the bloke. He is very similar to Sam Tuivita. Both played u19 origin blues together. He ran for 200m+ last week in nsw cup and still didnt get called into their side lol. Unlike the other duds from the DT article, this bloke is young and heaps o

What another Boring Year for Eels Fans

Towards the end of the 2025 NRL season I think a majority of Eels fans had some form of optimism for 2026 hoping it might be a possible top 8 position for the Eels.

However, this year has turned into one of the worst so far on record with Eels defenc
