Defending the Undefendable... this game should not have been a surprise....Look what we had!

I am starting to think we have the dumbest supporters on here .... watched they way we  manouvre and undermine any failures.

The relentless criticism and then the undermining of the coach, front office etc indicates some people cannot just understand

Game Day Blog R6 v Titans: Call House

Call Doctor House. The Eels have used the most players of any club. It will be at least 26 after this week. We face an injury toll from hell with a third of the top squad out. That's usually a death sentence. Cohesion and combinations go out the wind

We Don’t Lose Games in Moments. We Lose Them in Minutes.

 

It's all about cohesion, chaos and death zones.

Our defence sits dead last at round five. Our middle concedes the most tries of any team. 40 percent of our tries are leaked there.

Yesterdays game against Penrith has a lot of physco

The Panthers seemed to have forgotten they're not

Gus: Eels Showed "Real Grit"

Curled up in the foetal position, the noise is getting louder from some of our punters. Drop Pezet. Move him on. He’s been labelled “a mistake” by some, along with the usual tomatoes thrown at R&R, the team, and the front office. But not Talyn Da Sil

Poppa's Corner: We made a mistake, lets admit it, move forward; and it looks like we are overrated!

This heading is probably something we don't like admitting to. Yes it implies criticism but I don't want to start looking for blame or scapegoats, just accept it and move on.

The main issue in my mind is the "Pezet" experiment. It hasn't worked and t
