This blog was largely written by the legendary Dr Holdon T. Wilson, with a bit of help from me.

Jake Averillo & Josh Kerr

As the title suggests, Jake Averillo & Josh Kerr are both rumoured to be free to negotiate with rivals clubs. I believe both players would fit well within Ryles' plan.

Jake Averillo:

There was some mail earlier this week that Ryles had met with Jake Av

Game Day Blog R17 v Dragons: A Return to the WIN Cauldron (Update: Win Curse continues 34-20 Eels' Loss)

The under-strength Eels face a hostile crowd, bitter Wollongong winds, old demons, and fired-up Dragons side simmering in drama.

Signing Players, the right price and what we are prepared to pay.

Lots of discussion going on about Da Silva and other players and people on this site being concerned about our  perceived lack of success .

Poppas Corner: Delusions, Not Good Enough — While Errors Exposed Again

“We want to really test ourselves against these guys,” Jason Ryles told the media on the eve of battle.
