  Pretty positive article Chief.
  Where is this from?
  I notice it says Norman back round 14, then round 17.
  According to Corey it is 14.

  Don't know who wrote this but I do know a dodgy Unicorn salesman.

  B+ is optimistic.

  C+ is real.

  The team (with the exception of a small few) clock off for at least 20 minutes in EVERY game - FACT.

  This is the attitude of an "also ran" team.

  We scare NO ONE in the comp.

  YES! - we do have our moments but can never go on with them to put teams to the sword.

  Get in front, we lift the foot for a while, then try to salvage a win.

  50% W/L does not cut it in my book, and shows we will most likely be celebrating Mad Monday the first week in September.

    I agree Sir Col - 50% is a C, C+ tops.

    Our next 3 games will define our season I reckon. We have a lot of winnable games in the run home but we need to hop into the 8 now.

    We have to beat the Warriors this weekend - massive game for us.

  Grunta, Brad said Norman could be playing next week against the Cowboys.
  
  If not he will very likely be available the week after dragons. R 15 if everything goes as planned.

    Brad Arthur also named Nathan Brown against the Bunnies Chief, and according to the Eels site Brown is now indefinite.

    I think he is trying to learn how to play "The Mind Game"

    Fair call Gol, 50/50 is a pass mark so a C+ is probably fair enough.

    If we can pick a few wins before Norman,Jennings and Brown are back they are all bonuses.

    12 wins normally get you into the finals but with our F/A atm we may need 13.

  You would be hard pressed to find a side that could play so well without their highest paid back (Jennings), their best player and halfback (Norman), their probable starting hooker had he not recently suffered with concussion (Degois), and their starting lock and best forward this year (brown). Not to mention their only player of size and height (Pritchard) and hardest running bench forward (terepo). Just look at broncos and roosters when they are missing similar important players over the weekend. Neither were anywhere close to the eels quality.
