Parramatta: Turning the Tide

After a very up and down opening 10 rounds, the Eels languished in 14^th place and were staring down a South Sydney side in first place and playing some breathtaking rugby league.

Given Parramatta’s well documented recent struggles against the Rabbits

Sivo disallowed try was a try in spirit and technicality

On field refs and commentators thought it was a try, and that there was no way the Dogs' 6 was going to stop Sivo from where he was.

It was definitely a try in spirit.

Bunker disallowed on a technicality but was wrong. If you are offside the owness i

What to do with a drunken sailor - DB

Regardless of whether he is guilty of charges there seems to be problem. Players apparently had made a pact to lie low this weekend - DB did not seem to do that. Head rarely seems in the game. Too much $ to early? IDK but seems to be a pattern here a

Who should be new Blues coach? Bring the Wok back!

Im motioning we bring the Wok back.

Yes its an old school choice but the Wok aka Warren Ryan can still throw one.

Couldnt do any worse than Brad lol.

Only joking, i think the Woks a bit past it, but we need a new coach, new energy.

 

Whos your choice for

On the ropes, but not yet mentally broken

Tank Davis is the Mike Tyson of the lightweight division. He recently defeated King Ryan Garcia in one of the most anticipated boxing matches of the year. It was somewhat a letdown, though. In many ways, Ryan is us. Other than a plethora of differen

How do the 2023 Eels stack up against the 2022 Eels?

I will preface this by saying this is a statistical look at where the Eels currently sit in the competition and that stats can tell whatever story you want them to.

However in a game like rugby league where the eye test can quite often tell a very di

A lateral thinking selection issue

I honestly believe that if we had Gutherson at half and Doorey in the centres with Simonsson at fullback and Russell on Dunster’s wing, we would beat the Raiders this weekend.

Now I understand the rhetoric of best players out of position but it is muc

Time for a change?

Despite many criticisms being thrown at Josh Hodgson, I’ve been fairly supportive of his recruitment and selection in the starting side.

He’s a different type of hooker to the one the Eels have generally used in recent years, particularly when compar

Stubborn BA?

I'm really not anti-BA but my patience is thinning.

It's like he must be aware of what most people see and think and want and yet he does the opposite by sticking with an original idea in the face of facts.

We can't be a force and also have players l

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

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
