  • Pay your subscription to the daily telecrap you tight arse so that they have the coin to hire better journalists, that aren't dickheads, that constantly write crap. 

    It will be considered a community service. 

    • Or we could ignore them. If we all do it, they will go away.

      As for paying actual money to peruse the bullshit that they feed 'ya?.....yeah, but nah.

    • I'd rather throw my money down a drain than pay for a Terrorgraph subscription.

    • The journalist would just earn more money and put out more crap articles if everyone subscribed. Best way to do it is not give them a cent.

    • Is that Matt Hollis son ?

      • I have no idea Carlo. Who's Matt Hollis? Doesn't ring a bell...

  • Eels rookies info only:

     

    Sean Russell: Still only 19 with two NRL games in the bag. But Maika Sivo’s ACL injury (Sivo is expected to miss up to 15 rounds) has opened the door for Russell to get plenty more at the start of 2022. Keeps growing and that taste of top grade is said to have really stoked the fire in him.

    Sam Loizou: Came through playing in the halves alongside Jake Arthur but will end up in the centres. Was fairly slight when he came into pre-season last year but is starting to get his body right. Has played one first grade game off the bench in that late season belting by Penrith when Brad Arthur rested a stack of players. But this 18-year-old is very athletic and has the skills to make a very good career when he gets a bit more experience.

    David Hollis: A bit of an old-school prop from Wauchope on the mid-north coast who has done an apprenticeship as a diesel mechanic but is now not far away from getting a shot in the engine room in NRL. Only 21 next year but they’ve had raps on Hollis at Parra for a while now, and all you continue to hear is good things.

    Jock Brazel: A backrower from Moree who made the Australian Schoolboys and has been locked into a three-year deal. Given he’s only just turned 18 and the Eels have some strong competition in the back row, you’d expect he has some hard yards to do before he’s ready to challenge for an NRL spot. But club recruitment boss Ben Rogers says Brazel is a name Parra fans might want to keep a close eye on.

    Solomone Naiduki: Powerful Fijian winger who the Eels have a high opinion of. At 21 has now moved into the top-30 squad and could get some early chances with Maika Sivo’s injury.

    • If Sivo is now out for 15 rounds, I think it would be in the clubs best interest to get him medically retired so he can head to the continent & play RU.  With an injury that bad and with the way he has played these last two seasons, he's very much wasted space.

      This past year he has only scored tries from diving over the top of the opposition defence where he also did the same with no defenders against him, I would be interested in seeing his longest run in 2021, whether too puffed out or slow to the line

      • If we hadn't lost so many players already, this wouldn't be a bad idea.

"Well the fact Ryles said they would release him if asked demonstrated that. I wonder what their plan is if he does go as our backs depth is slim."

Listening to Journos pod, apparently Lomax is still mulling over whether to stay or leave for R 360. Eels apparently are not fazed if he decides to leave as it opens up cap space for other signings. Have to wait and see what happens
