Daily Telegraph finally plays it's hand.

Dean Ritchie has blogged today and the title was "Where the Eels will finish this season".

Many have commented on the Telegraph's love of the Eels, whether it's positive news selling their papers, negative news selling their papers or made up stories about the Eels selling their papers.
It is obvious that they realise that our team in the news makes people buy their paper.

It's interesting to read one of the early blogs and Dean Ritchie's response:

"WHo cares about where the eels will finish? Can’t wait toread an article from you soon about how Hayne is the greatest player inthe history of rugby league again because he had his first decent gameall year.

The whole team is overrated from Inu, Mateo, Hayne, Hindmarsh, Cayless, Mortimer.

They will get thrashed by the Panthers on Saturday."

A lot of people actually care about the Eels Shaun. They have a huge following. Saturday’s game should be a beauty.

"Analyst, touching story bro. Love it. Not surprising, really. He seems to be a high-energy, fun-loving guy who practically 'loves everyone' & 'loves life'. He's a damn fine player as well. Made a huge difference with his talk, energy, skill & pace…"

God, that was painful to try and read...

But worth it for this nugget:

Just rang Penrith for you. Looks as if Lewis won’t play. He hasn’t been named. The club is unsure about Bell. Daine Laurie will be on the bench.

  Lewis out helps our cause. He was in everything in their game.
  Dane Laurie will bring fire but he is still learnig - fortunately.
