KENNNNY Edwards to fight Hodges in December

From Sporting news

Kenny Edwards never had the opportunity to hit Justin Hodges when they were both running around in the NRL, but says he'd relish the chance to knock him out in a boxing ring in December. Hodges will lace up the gloves for his third

Should we go after JWH?

No idea if we have any cap space left after nabbing RCG but surely the Roosters must be feeling the pinch on their cap after so much recent success. Player managers will be demanding their clients get upgrades and the Roosters will soon find it diffi

Dodgy Refs At It Again Raiders v Rabbits

1. Raiders forward shoulder charge in a tackle = no penalty to Rabbits

2. Raiders voluntary tackle = no penalty to Rabbits

Well Done To The Eels To Go From The 2018 Wooden Spoon To The 2nd Week Of The 2019 Finals

The hard work will continue and further acquisitions are on the way and the vast learning experiences our very young spine (19, 21, 25, 25) gathered this season augers well for an even better 2020 season.

I'm just so proud of our boys.

And a huge

How to beat the Melbourne Storm

The Melbourne Storm are one of the most consistent sides the game has seen. Nine finals series in 10 years this decade, four grand finals and two premierships. All whilst dealing with a generational change amongst their playing group.

How the Eels slaughtered Brisbane

Parramatta's 58 point steamrolling of the Broncos on Sunday afternoon broke a number of records; largest win in finals history, largest win over the Broncos, largest win at Bankwest stadium, equal most tries scored in a finals match.

Coming Out Just Before Kick Off Saw A Moment Where Dylan Brown Just Burst Into Sheer Joy As He Was Hit By The Massive Crowd Noise Wave He Was Running Into - I Knew Then We Had Already Won This Game

It was a fantastic inspiring moment for me. - If I manage to find video on what I saw indoors of Dylan coming through the paid members section that finally opens up to the whole stadium as the players run out to the field I'll put it up here. 

Coach Of The Year

You will well know my opinion of Arthur. I don`t care if they make him COY for the next twenty years after to-days performance. His record of getting teams up for an important game was zero up to today but to- days game changes that. The players were

Eels vs Broncos 3, 2, 1 Special Finals Edition #DoItForTimmy

Outstanding performance best I've seen for a very long time. And wasn't a loose effort either. Every single player was brilliant; intensity for the full 80mins and a showcase of our potential.

Does anyone know in the finals dates are mapped out, so that we know what nights we would be playing if we do progress through?

NRL just turned itself into touch football

If the judiciary is going to be consistent then most of the best tackles are illegal

For example see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNT2hIaiGmM

Many of which are exactly the same as Evans

Evans was told that he chose a high risk tackle when other optio
