Can Dylan Brown stop being a defensive half?

1. Dylan has some rare qualities for a half - he is strong, tough and usually wins one on one contests.

2. "Defensive" seems to be the characteristic of his attack. He seems to be reactive and not proactive. If he does not see an opportunity he takes

Opener From FOX

This is how you do it @ the dopey NRL executives who signed off on that stupid NRL commercial. 

Foo Fighters banging in the background.

At the end where the Panthers are facing the other teams gunning for their title is great. Take the last 18 seconds

NRL Fantasy

Just fishing to see if anyone on here plays NRL Fantasy. If yes, any interest in joining a 1EyedEel league?

Good luck to the girls today.

Good luck to our NRLW team against the saints today.

Although theres been plenty of banter from some of us regarding the womans game, i'll support anything with out colours and emblem on.

As long as the girls generate their own income and dont dip into

A point of view and a pre season wrap up

I am writing this based on observations of a person many respect. I will not name him but many of you know him.

I feel that many on here deserve to read this, simply because there is only one other place you will and many go there anyway , but many do

Position switches between Dyllan Brown, Jake Arthur and Waqar Blake

I just finished reading a very concise summary of yesterdays trial by 60's on TCT

Yesterday Offside made a post over the subtlety of the position change's mooted in the above heading. I suggested it was worth a blog on its own and so I will sow into t

Half Back Values and Judgements

My real focus here is Mitchell Moses who I think will challenge (not necessarilly win over Nathan Cleary as the top half in the game this season). Some discussion was entered in by Wiz of him being paid say 900/950 and him giving performances to equa

Salary Cap 9.1m .....how are we spending it?

This gets done seemingly regularly.....but it is worth thinking about.

Lets get someone to put up the 30 odd contracted players and see how close we get.....'

Moses 850/900, Gutho 800, Junior 650/700, RCG 650/700, Reed 400, NBrown 600, DBrown 600, Matt

Ladies lead the way with latest sponsorship deal

This article comes across from TCT.....had a look at this company, they are publicly listed in Britain with a sharemarket value of over 400 million pounds. This seems to be a significant sponsorship in that they chose a single team to support.

Eels NRLW analysis and best 17

Parramatta's quest to bring a wealth of western Sydney talent home for the NRL Telstra Women's Premiership was a huge success as the team prepares for their first season in the competition.

The Eels are one of three sides set to enter the NRLW in 202

Junior Paulo to be the best Front Row Forward in the World next year!

I don't believe he has in any way realised his potential.....I suspect he doesn't know himself what he can do yet.

This year I think he will announce himself as the best Prop Forward in the game and be a decisive factor in Parramatta going all the way

Hodgson and Rein: The Bridge Players

There has been a lot of discussion over the age of some of our recruits, especially seeing as we've released younger players. Hodgson, Rein and if we get him, Tariq Sims, are all over 30. 

Now I don't have any real inside information into the ongoing

Musical Players, wily hookers and unhappy hookers

I just posted something similar on a Hooker blog and feel this may be worth a discussion on its own.

Now the question arises how much bad blood may exist with Reed if he wanted desperately to get out. Not good for anyone if he is not happy,including t

Monopoly, Play Money, Patience and Recruitment.....Oh and Retention! and lets not forget Reincarnation

I essentially posted this already on the Josh Hodgson blog and given it was on about the 19th page of absolute shit and rubbish, I decided to maybe take the discussion into some sense of surrealness.

Retention and Recruitment.

Arthur should be pissed

Brad Arthur deserves to be right royally pissed off with the way all this has played out. Between the players showing him no loyalty and the club having no idea how to negotiate a new deal, Arthur has been sold short. Despite the criticism he receive

I'm smelling something and I don't think people are going to like it/

When we hit rock bottom last year BA was gone for all money...... I think we can all agree on that. I was a long term BA supporter but I had turned against him because of what I saw as flagrant nepotism to Jake. I started off thinking he was an ok fi

Hear Me Out

As angry as I am right now, is it really that bad?

RCG is a gun and we signed him with Penrith still paying for him somehow, lol.

Gutho extended and no matter what your thoughts on how he went on about his business, he is the best defensive fullback in

Premierships, Tpa's and Limp dicks.

I am not driven by premiership's like many on here. I just want us to be the best, when we are premierships will just happen.

I was bitterly disappointed after 1986, not because we ended a run of premierships, but we stopped being the best.
