Flashback: The day we bashed the Bears

Today, let's have a look at the clash between th

A Mare`s Nest

Some years ago--about six--when it was first mooted that Tod Greenburg should be CEO, I wrote that if he became CEO it would be the beginning of the end of Rugby League in Australia. Well, here we are then. Not quite there yet but closer to it than a

Review: Eels maul Titans

In these blurst of times, rugby league is virtually our only escape. I was in need of some entertainment on Sunday evening and the Eels provided that in spades.

The 46-6 scoreline was indicative of a dominant performance and one that moved the Eels

Eels game management

I may be the only one who liked that we did not push attempts to score against the Titans but waited patiently until we tired them out and then took the opportunities that presented. This seemed like a deliberate plan this game. I like that we are ta

Kyle Schneider

Is it too early for Kyle? He is 19 this year - not sure when his Birthday is. Reed made his debut at 19, although Kyle has lost quite a bit of time through injury. However, if the comp is running after June, could we see a debut from Kyle? Unfortunat

Eels vs Titans 3, 2, 1

We started great and finished great but there was still a lot of scrappiness in the middle. What is clear is that we need a genuine hooker replacement on the bench; before the Titans lost interest our attack looked so stifled. Still, our forwards wer

How very Nice?

Great to see South Sydney taking the Corona Virus heath issue so seriously. The players are drinking out of the same bottle passing on god knows what. As an example of how people should react to the crisis, it leaves everything to be desired.

1EE Legends Tipping Comp

For anyone interested (Slugg), here is the tipping comp ladder as it stands. This includes last nights game.

Perhaps it would be a good idea for anyone using a different name to identify who they are on here.

No crowd, no worries?

So what's everyones thoughts after the first NRL game minus the crowd?

I think it went ok. Is it different? Of couse, I don't think anyone would dispute that. But the game went ahead, it was competitive, there were no major dramas. I think it's feasib

How we can help our club

As has been detailed recently, the possibility of the NRL being forced to lockdown due to COVID-19 is a massive concern of the game and the clubs.

We could sit here pointing fingers at who is responsible but that gets us nowhere.

Instead, our club ne

Parramatta Draw - Shutdown May Not Impact Us Too Badly

Looking at the draw, the only upcomming home game that is at real risk is the St. George game at Bankwest Stadium on 5th April (in circa 3 weeks).

After that we have a home game against the broncos in Darwin on the 24th, then we play away games up unt

Round 1 charges: Pangai facing 4-6 weeks out

This guy is turning out to be a gutless low life grub, worse than third man in Thugday

How the commentators reckon he is hard when he waits for his team mates to hold an opponent still so he can hit them with a cheap shot designed to take them out of

Round 1 Review: At least we won

After a seemingly never-ending off season, rugby league returned to Bankwest Stadium for the first time in 2020. 

It was a pre-season that saw the Eels labelled top four certainties and premiership contenders much to the nervousness of the fan base.

Eels vs Bulldogs 3, 2, 1

Very stop-start and a ridiculous amount of penalties. Don't be too concerned by our clunky attack. It will get better; the Dogs played exactly how I thought they would - very physical and gritty. They would have frustrated a lot of teams tonight. Our
