Titans are a pretty good side, shame we didn't recognise it earlier!

Titans, this game goes with the list of games we should have won.

What went wrong? Amongst the uncontrollable was Gutherson's sin bin, his intercept pass, Khan Perrira's individual brilliance (the try he scored with the kick chase was just about inde

Junior Development: Congrats to EA, LB and Ezra

EA , I trust your judgement in relaying information on the juniors, yourself and LB have done a great job in relaying information many on here don't know. I am now also impressed with Ezra who is giving us a different insight, he seems to be more acr

Looking at teams on the ladder ahead of us and there are 7 who have already had the Bye and also a number who will be effected once State of Origin comes round.

There are also 6 teams ahead of us with negative point for and against

Forwards were overwhelming.

Yes, the overall performance of our forwards was overwhelming.

It may have been a woeful performance by Newcastle, but the reality is the damage that was done by our forwards was through the middle of the ruck, where Newcastle really had every right t

Missed Tackles 47, some one else had another number........hmmmm

Lets put those missed tackles into context. As you know I am very sceptical about the accuracy of these type of stats. What constitutes a missed tackle? i.e. saw Moses bounce of a player effectively stopped him and two others complete almost simultan

Too many dicks on the dance floor

What is with the regular members here? Why can't you fucktards just either be part of the conversation - or not rather than attacking the individuals who post here.

And this is not directed at all - as there is a core group of decent people here but

Evolution discussion on staying competitive with TPA type funds.

LB put up a post saying we had 30000 members surely we can come up with some decent TPA's.

My reply was as follows; straw poll only no committments, just indicate your willingness if you could afford it, if you cannot afford it, still just show your w

Our Evolution as a Football Club

Its getting to a stage again where if Wighton goes to Souths you basically have the dominance of individuals who can buy a team and flaunt the cap, Politis owns the process, Crowe is effectively in the same boat, Storm have a multi millionaire sponso

Moses the man keeping Eels in games?

Mitchell Moses. Perhaps the most polarising halfback in the game at the moment. Now on big money, long touted to be a top shelf playmaker, some feel he's up to the task, others feel he has more to give.

Both could be true. At 29 he's coming into his

Annesley and BA

Annesley and BA were walking out in the countryside, enjoying the scenery and the mild fall weather. While on a quiet trail, they came across a sheep. The sheep tried to get away, but its head became caught in the wire fencing. The poor critter was s

Being scorn against right after a scrum

How many times! do we see Parra scored against the right after a scrum. Its sooooooooooo common for us. Someone please pull up the stat. We are terrible at MATHS!!

Can the coach not teach the players on this?
Are we not picking this up in review guys?

NRLW 2023

Still a couple of months til the season starts but our recruitment is shocking compared to all the other teams. Broughton and Taufa were probably our best last year but has been scooped up by other teams. Hopefully we get some good news soon

A Challenge for Daz and Hoe.....because it is beyond me and very subjective

I just finished reading Hoe's KSS and of course earlier in the week Daz's statisical masterpeice.

I don't bother reading other clubs fan sites or equivalents of our own, so it is with that admission that I cannot imagine anyone coming up with the mast

Oh! Why are we so pessimistic and lets give the negative nellies a kick up the arse

We are coming off a win, and coming up against the Dogs with the same brand of defeatism that plaques our post match commentaries by the same Nellies every week.

 I believe we are reading this all wrong.....lets start on the Moses/Reed interaction....

The Lane Train's Home: A Century With Us

I remember watching 6'6'' Shaun Lane's debut for the Dogs, nine years ago in 2015, when he was a spirited 20 year old.

Back then, Brad Arthur was just in his second year into his debut head-coaching role at the Eels.

At the time, I thought to myself

The real Danger in this game .....is the Tigers, not us ( the reinteration blog)

I rarely write a blog on an upcoming game but I felt that no one was making the point of how Tigers will be so up for this game. "well they are making that point, but saying it wont be enough"

"We seem mostly to be complacent" and that Parra typically

Players and Fans

Something that has been going around in my head lately has been how the players interact with fans and, from a wider lense, how the club interacts with its fans.

The club recently had its Easter visit to Ronald McDonald House which was undoubtedly ex
