From being one of the best up coming Props of the game, to signing a crazy 5 year contract with Penrith, lasting one year with that deal before breaking his jaw in Origin and having Cleary drain all of the confidence out of him. Needs a release, gets one with Parra, plenty here thought it was a bad move considering we were going for Welch as well. Many felt Welch was the better option with attitude concerns being brought up about RCG. Welch agreed with Parra before an achillies injury forced us to back out and go for RCG instead. All i can say is thank god as Welch, though been great since 2020 for Melbourne, has declined rapidly the last year and a bit. RCG is still going strong. Declined maybe a tiny bit but is still good enough to play Origin.</p><p>Got another year left on his deal and i think he will retire an Eel and sign on for another year or two to see it out. Well done mr love me sexy, porno mo and all, had his try scoring song as "love me sexy" by Jackie Moon in the classic 2008 Basketball movie 'Semi Pro'. Just hilarious and shows the type of personality he is.</p><p>Good on you Reg.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm8RfM48fjU" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm8RfM48fjU</a> In honour of big Reg, would love Parra to play this loud and proud when he runs out on Sunday.</p></div>Round 3 Team List v Manly-Warringah Sea Eagleshttps://www.1eyedeel.com/forum/topics/round-3-team-list-v-manly-warringah-sea-eagles2024-03-19T04:59:56.000Z2024-03-19T04:59:56.000ZParramattaLurkerhttps://www.1eyedeel.com/members/ParramattaLurker<div><p> </p><p>1.

After 5 games for the club between 2021 and 2022, with Ky the best of luck. Did not quite workout since the type of player he is suits the game more in the early 2000's as that workhorse. We have enough of them in the team. In 2023 he started the first trial on route to getting a bench spot, then he and Ogden had shocking games, leading to Makatoa and Greig both getting spots over them. Even TCT predicted he would be in the 17 for round 1 with the amount of first team reps he was getting.</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.zerotackle.com/parramatta-eels-release-another-player-from-top-30-roster-207276/" target="_blank">https://www.zerotackle.com/parramatta-eels-release-another-player-from-top-30-roster-207276/</a></p></div>Hayze Perhamhttps://www.1eyedeel.com/forum/topics/hayze-perham2024-03-19T04:37:32.000Z2024-03-19T04:37:32.000ZOffsidehttps://www.1eyedeel.com/members/Offside<div><p>I heard a rumour from a mate that's a Dog's fan si take it with a grain of salt. he might be coming back he's on the outs at the Dog's.</p><p>I sure hope we can do better than him although he is also better then Lumelume Cini and Dunster that in itself is a indictment of our R&R team. </p><p>Has anyone else heard this? </p></div>Parramatta Eels enter race for Dragons youngsterhttps://www.1eyedeel.com/forum/topics/parramatta-eels-enter-race-for-dragons-youngster2024-03-18T23:31:35.000Z2024-03-18T23:31:35.000ZAxelhttps://www.1eyedeel.com/members/Axel<div><div class="author-image">This was reported recently by Mutman and here's an article this morning from Zero Tackle</div><div class="author-image"> </div><div class="author-image"> </div><div class="author-image"><a href="https://www.zerotackle.com/author/ethan-lee-chalk/"><img class="gravatar avatar avatar-60 um-avatar um-avatar-gravatar entered lazyloaded" src="https://gravatar.com/avatar/0dded47f532766b35a94f809e2a63315?s=400&r=G&d=mm" alt="Ethan Lee Chalk" width="60" height="60" /></a></div><div class="article-header"><div class="author-details"><div class="td-post-author-name"><a href="https://www.zerotackle.com/author/ethan-lee-chalk/">ETHAN LEE CHALK</a></div></div><div class="article-date">WRITER | MARCH 19, 2024 - 9:26AM</div><div class="article-date"> </div></div><p>Yet to make his NRL debut, youngster Savelio Tamale could be on the move away from the St George Illawarra Dragons with a rival club showing interest in the prospect.</p><p>An Under-19s New South Wales standout, Tamale appeared in 12 games for the Dragons NSW Cup team last year, averaging 130 running metres and 61 tackles for the season.</p><p>Currently weighing up his future at the Red V and yet to sign a contract extension with the club, Tamale is reportedly gaining interest from the Parramatta Eels, per News Corp.</p><p>This comes after the Eels were also listed as one of the clubs that were interested in signing Tamale's teammate Zac Lomax and have been continually linked to him.</p><p>In his two games for the Dragons reserve-grade team this year, he has made nine tackle busts, 18 tackles (78.3 per cent tackle efficiency) and is running an average of 149 metres per game.</p><p>Before playing at the club, Tamale was a member of the NSW Waratahs Under-18s squad and was poached from the 15-man game.</p><p>News Corp has also reported that Zac Lomax has been told that the club won't hold talks with his management over his future until after Round 4 - two weeks away.</p></div>NRL Annesley weekly briefing Round 2https://www.1eyedeel.com/forum/topics/nrl-annesley-weekly-briefing-round-22024-03-18T21:20:55.000Z2024-03-18T21:20:55.000ZMr 'BringBackFitzy' Analysthttps://www.1eyedeel.com/members/BazzaCapt<div><p>NRL head of football elite competitions Graham Annesley holds his weekly football briefing relating to Round 2 of the 2024 Telstra Premiership. <a href="https://www.nrl.com/news/2024/03/18/graham-annesley-weekly-football-briefing---round-2/">https://www.nrl.com/news/2024/03/18/graham-annesley-weekly-football-briefing---round-2/</a></p></div>Most impressive and disappointing: Round 2 v Penrithhttps://www.1eyedeel.com/forum/topics/most-impressive-and-disappointing-round-2-v-penrith2024-03-17T08:09:36.000Z2024-03-17T08:09:36.000ZLBhttps://www.1eyedeel.com/members/LB<div><p>Let's start by saying the sky is not falling, there are no real concerns and season is not over. I think that is very fair to say. It is also fair to say i was pleased with our performance considering the circumstances. To lose a Winger, then to have a back-rower who 1) has never really played there before 2) never trained there with us and 3) defending in the hardest position on the field, it is far from ideal obviously. Added to that is moving your Centre who is primarily known for defence to the Wing where he offers hardly any attacking flair. </p><p><strong>Stats: </strong>51% to 49% possession which is deceiving for the amount of ball Penrith actually had and on our line. One stat that doesn't show is territory, at one stage late in the first half it was 75% territory for Penrith, yet we led. Our completions were better with 82% to 75%. Completing 34/41 to Penrith's 30/40. That is an area of our game we have improved on and is very important to maintain. Penrith had 6 more runs but had 447 more metres running. That is where we are lacking. Granted a lot of those metres can come from your backs and one of them was missing so it hampered our run totals. But we see it a fair bit, our players always seem to be pushed back a lot where we allow a lot more post contact metres to opposition teams. Not sure if a tactic, running style or sheer strength but it is irritating. Could be where having a look at Corey Oates could be worthwhile with his metres per match well over 150. Penrith had more line-breaks 9 to 3, most coming from our left edge. Penrith missed more tackles 36 to 35, while we tied offloads at 14 a piece. Penrith had 31 ineffective tackles while we only had 19, we also had less errors 10-13, conceaded more penalties 5-4 but led 6 again's 5-1. </p><p><strong>Most Impressive:<br /><br /></strong><strong>Dylan Brown: </strong>He was our best, yet it was a great performance, it was not perfect. Overall, Brown had a nice composed game, his movement to straighten the attack just before throwing it to Hopgood was brilliant and his ball to Lane was also. Though we wanted to see more running from him, particularly when we are down by 8 and need him to take the game. But a step in the right direction for Brown and his season.</p><p><strong>Ryan Matterson: </strong>Felt he was great off the bench, didn't really miss a beat. Even when shifted to the edge when Tuilagi was off due to injury. Probably should have went there in the first place but BA more likely wanted to keep that middle rotation, especially since it would've been a bench of Paulo, Tuilagi and Hands, needed that extra middle. He made 140 metres, including have the 3rd most post contact metres, 2nd of the forwards, 2 offloads also.</p><p><strong>J'Maine Hopgood: </strong>This bloke is the future captain of the club and need to sign him up before November. 134 metres, 45 tackles, 5 tackle breaks, an offload and a try. He seems to have put the offload away for now, focusing on being that middle runner, but it is working for him as he looks fitter and stronger after a full NRL season in 2023. If not for Pat Carrigan, this bloke is the starting QLD Lock. BA brought him off for a stint mid 2nd half, but 10mins later he was back out there and you see the difference he makes in the momentum we have in attack and the strength in defence.</p><p>Honourable mentions: Gutherson, Penisini.</p><p><strong>Most Disappointing:</strong></p><p><strong>Kelma Tuilagi: </strong>Ok let me preface this, as i mentioned above he was thrown into an awkward spot. Being put into what many consider the most difficult spot on the field to defend, added it is the side Cleary prefers; with Martin, Tago and Turuva. He is not a Centre, we know that but still thrown into that spot you do the best your can. That one on one attempt on Martin was abysmal. I understand not reading the defence that well and being beaten for speed but when you just miss a one on one tackle, or have them wrapped up and just fall off them? Not good enough overall. Last week he got a lot of minutes and he was OK but not phenomanal. Now i am considering is it just better to have Moretti there as a 4th forward or just leave Hands or have another player in 14 when Greig is back? Hopefully Tuilagi is a Cartwright type case in takes a year or two to get it.</p><p><strong>Joe Ofahengaue: </strong>I defended the bloke, i said numerous times he was an astute signing for us since we play a power game it adds another dimension to our rotation. Last week i actually thought he was good. Got the start again, was very mixed bag. He offered no real punch compared to the likes of RCG, Paulo and Hopgood. 98 metres off 12 runs is not good enough. Wiremu Greig is more suited to that starting role and will have it once he is back, but it is more disappointing that Ofahengaue played on Friday like he did last year. Despite having a full off-season he still shows signs of similar play? I still think he was an astute signing, but my support is wavering bit by bit.</p><p><strong>Russell under the high ball: </strong>He was solid overall tonight but, from who i considered Mr. Reliable, was suspect tonight on a few occasions. The high ball he was no confident with what so ever and that was something he also had issues with last year. As a Fullback coming through the grades i expected better from Russell. A player who is going to make a career in this league as solid, but if he cannot gain confidence to take those hard kicks, then it can be a case of finding someone better.</p><p><strong>Bench rotation: </strong>Brendan Hands should not of been there in the first place. Neither should a back. Hindsight we all say it but let's be fair if BA named say Talagi or Dunster or hell Lumelume on the bench and didn't use them most would complain we wasted a bench spot. But Hands being used as an quote en quote Utility backfired when the chance to play your Utility who chose not to. The knock is not how BA used the bench overall as he was limited with one less player and two later on, more so the need of Hands. Hands is a dummy half only, BA wants his Hookers to play 80mins, why name another then? I would rather name either another forward or go with Blaize Talagi or Daejarn Asi if you are planning using the 14 as an emergency option. Yes, Hands can be considered that as if Lussick goes down and have no cover you are screwed but limited to only one position. We are in desperate need of a proper Utility yet have never chased one, yet Canterbury have more in their squad then we have had in about 15-20 years.</p><p><strong>Bunker and reffereeing: </strong>Good lord it got worse, wont go on with Luai as enough has been said. But the Gutherson call was stupid as it seems they wont overrule unless you challenge that element. Like forward passes, can see some blatantly but just cannot rule on it so don't bother. The Hopgood face touch is ridiculous as a rule in the first place, but to have Edwards do the same and worse by pushing Cartwright's face into the ground and we get penalised by Lussick reacting? Just idiotic, the Luai charge just proved the issues involved.</p><p><strong>Commentary: </strong>It could be a point where i prefer Dan Ginnane as a host of shows and on radio, on TV he is getting on my nerves. All night "This is the Penrith of old" Like he was losing sleep worrying "Are they going to be same this year????". Then the Luai trip Ginnane picks up, but Cronk gives a cop out "Oh i am still on the RCG JFH hit to think about it". Discuss it and discuss how dodgy it was. Turuva scores when Harper had a 3 on one since Tuilagi dislocated his shoulder from an unnecassary hit, they claim it is brilliant, like really? Ginnane is still my favourite Footy personality but man he is disappointing me in the commentary, even worse he tipped us for top 4. Cronk has great mindset but sounds like he needs a drink of water ASAP.</p><p>Ok that is it, overall was pleased with the effort and performance. Keeping it to only 8 points is quite good considering how long we were disadvantaged on that edge. It was hard but still think BA did a decent job getting us up for it and there were positive signs of not giving up. Parra of 2023 would have had mid 30's even 40 put on us.</p><p>As for team changes, Simonsson and Tuilagi obviously out. Greig in for Tuilagi. Though for Simonsson i think there are two candidates; Haze Dunster and Blaize Talagi. Dunster is the obvious choice and the favourite, but also Talagi could also get the nod. BA obviously likes Talagi, might want to start blooding to have him as backline depth incase we lose more backs. But then again he might prefer a little bit of experience with Dunster who has been there done that but has shown he takes weeks to get comfortable in FG. He is not a plug and play Winger, he needs time each time he is put back in. I think Dunster will be picked though. But maybe Talagi could get a bench spot, whether he is great or not in NSW Cup, the staff and club love him.</p><p>Enjoy your week, long turnaround and hard opposition with Manly, they use their edges well. God bless Parramatta.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p></div>Manly Going to be Difficult Next Weekhttps://www.1eyedeel.com/forum/topics/manly-going-to-difficult-next-week2024-03-17T06:26:43.000Z2024-03-17T06:26:43.000ZCumberland Eelhttps://www.1eyedeel.com/members/Cumberland757<div><p>Just been watching the Manly vs Roosters game and I must say the Sea Eagles are looking like a very good team. Noticed too that Nathan Brown is having a very good game. Manly have some powerful strong runners in their backline. Tom Turbo is also in very good form and Brooks is playing really good. They're going to be very tough next week. Especially no Simmonsen, Sivo, Moses not a 100% and Eels have nothing in reserves.

They played to their strengths and used a simple but effective game plan.<br /><br />The Eels can improve on Friday night's effort but I doubt the Panthers can. They brought their "A" game along<br />on Friday night. They had a point to prove. But they wont be able to mainatin that intensity week after week. <br />Particulary if their drug supply runs low!!! </p></div>Two points we won't get back!......

He did some very good things using his initiative and seeing he was posted out there with only Dylan sweeping across to help he did pretty well in a comparative sense. I actually think he could play winger if required as his jamming showed more judgement than our wingers typically have shown.</p><p>I have mentioned in posts if Hands was selected purely to give Lussick a rest, what was the point. He could have moved into feeding the scrum and having Moses and Brown playing one spot wider, alleviating the embarrassing need of Tulagi being in the centres. First choice Telagi for this role no problems, but 5 minutes into his new position it was obvious he had no lateral defensive ability. Surely this was realised in the pre season?......it really was that obvious! poor work from the coaches in not being aware of this!</p><p>I hate providing ammunition to the BA haters but really some lateral thinking here was not hard. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">IMO this game was given away</span> by poor decisions intra game by the coaching staff in not addressing this situation within 5 minutes of it being obvious. If we did not have a cover defender the likes of Dylan Brown the score could have been anything.</p><p>KIck chasing and putting pressure on the Penrith defenders was too obvious to be true and the embarrassing tries (2) that Penrith scored with half plus of the team being stationary was very difficult to accept.</p><p>We can complain all we want but the team should be lined up and kicked up the arse. Then the coaching staff also lined up and kicked up the arse by the players for being let down by their off field leaders.</p><p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>This is 2 points we won't get back</strong></span> and reminds me of games last year we should have won!</p><p>Not good enough Parra, losing Simmonson a couple of minutes into the game should not have been game ending......any good chess player should have run all the possibilities and had ready made solutions. While we are kicking arses lets throw in the Chairman and the CEO and their board for their piss poor communication!</p><p>PS I want to kick arse early because there is no point when we are 5 out of 10 in 10 weeks time.</p></div>Nick Cotrichttps://www.1eyedeel.com/forum/topics/nick-cotric2024-03-17T00:22:09.000Z2024-03-17T00:22:09.000ZEli Stephenshttps://www.1eyedeel.com/members/EliStephens<div><p>Noticed he's been in NSW cup for raiders prob a guy eels should check to see if he's available.

<p>- Junior off the bench: I tipped this as a change that was needed last year. With Parramatta regularly lacking punch and creativity from the bench, shifting the Origin forward seems to be paying dividends. He's still punching out his usual minutes, but he's able to take on a tiring middle where his unique combination of size, footwork and ball skills adds so much to Parramatta's attack. He was dominant against the Dogs and turned things around against Penrith when he came on in the first half. It will be interesting to see what happens once Wiremu Greig is ready for first grade again.</p>
<p>- Lane Train: While relatively quiet against the Dogs because Carty was shredding the right edge, against Penrith Lane showed how much we missed him. His size and ability to attract defenders opens gaps up for Dylan Brown, while his try was beautifully worked by Parramatta's 5/8.</p>
<p>- Attacking shape: 2023 the Eels looked a little out of ideas at times. Just flinging the ball from one edge to the other with little deception. The early signs are better this season with outside players coming back against the grain to hold up the defence. Offloads remain a key part of Parramatta's attack as well.</p>
<p>- Outside backs: A key problem in 2023, it still looks short of being solved. I can't really fault Morgan Harper for struggling on the wing. It's never been his position and it was made all the more difficult by having a backrower next to him. While Maika Sivo's worth has been discussed at length, he remains Parramatta's best yardage back. </p>
<p>Bench use: Against the Dogs, I thought Brad had finally worked out how to use his bench. Every player got meaningful minutes. Then against the Panthers he reverted to type and Hands got a handful of garbage minutes. In the pre-season BA spoke about preferring an 80 minute hooker. I simply don't think the modern game gives you that luxury. If you have 2, use them.</p>
<p>Defence: I know it seems weird to be discussing defence after conceding 26 points. But 3 of Penrith's tries came from improvised bullshit. I'd be more concerned if they scored all their points from set moves which are repeatable and broke down our defence. But how often are you going to concede a try from the opposition lock nailing a cross field bomb?</p></div>Dunster!!!!https://www.1eyedeel.com/forum/topics/dunster2024-03-15T20:23:48.000Z2024-03-15T20:23:48.000ZMac5733https://www.1eyedeel.com/members/Mac5733<div><p>We all know how good he was before his injury.

At least, not to that extent. I honestly thought the injury to Simonsson was the difference, not the ref. But very strange to see him say all that. Basically saying the ref didn't police the rule changes. Sure, he might be right, but it's a real head scratcher because over the years he has had plenty of chances to blame the refs and never does.</p></div>Who replaces Simonsson and Tuilagi v Manly?https://www.1eyedeel.com/forum/topics/who-replaces-simonsson-and-tuilagi-v-manly2024-03-15T11:02:16.000Z2024-03-15T11:02:16.000ZLBhttps://www.1eyedeel.com/members/LB<div><p>It will be tough to decide who will take over for Simonsson next week considering Dunster has not even made the 22 most weeks. Tuilagi seems to have hurt himself also, with Doorey failing his HIA in Cup it is testing our depth again. But Sivo will be in sheds all clean happy with his paycheck the idiot.</p><p>But i do think BA would name Talagi on the Wing next week, they love him and i think BA will want some youth. It is either Dunster or Talagi, if i was picking it i would go Talagi too. While Tuilagi is a bit easier with Greig coming back, but also could consider Moretti on the bench over Hands.</p><p>What does everyone else think? Dunster is a Winger that does not really have a lot speed, defensively he is ok but he has been there and done that. Talagi seems to have something about him, he has handled NSW cup fine, has a mistake or two in him that is the issue. Plus he has not played Wing, is this the time to put him there on debut v Manly who love using their edges.</p></div>Game Day Blog - Panthers vs Eelshttps://www.1eyedeel.com/forum/topics/game-day-blog-panthers-vs-eels-52024-03-15T08:38:35.000Z2024-03-15T08:38:35.000ZGrunta the greathttps://www.1eyedeel.com/members/Trevor982<div><p>What a game this should be. <br />The Panthers looked average last week against the Storm and the Eels were largely very good in their win against the Bulldogs.

I couldn’t move, I was like a cripple. I had to use my right arm just to lift my left arm above the horizontal.</p><p>“They diagnosed that as being Pseudogout across my shoulders, neck and down through my left shoulder blade. It gets into the lining in your joints.</p><p>“They checked it out and then found there was a high elevation in my troponin levels in my heart and they had to work out why. Something had happened.</p><p>“I had a heart attack in 2021. The doctors checked out the stents they put in and checked my arteries. They had to eliminate things.</p><p>“I’ve had quite a few tests – CT scans, angiograms and (cardiac) aspirations, where they take fluid out of the joints to see what is causing the inflammation and pain.</p><p>“They did a test on my heart where they go in through your groin to check the stents. I’m still here in hospital. I don’t know when they’re going to let me out.”</p><p>Despite his issues, Wynn doesn’t believe he suffered a second heart attack.</p><p>“When I first got (to hospital) I told the doctor I was in so much pain and he thought I’d had a heart attack,” Wynn said.</p><p>“That’s when they did the tests and the troponin was high but the pain was actually caused by the Pseudogout.</p><p>“I don’t think I had a heart attack but the levels indicated something did happen to my heart.”</p><p>Despite leading a healthy lifestyle, Wynn sustained a heart attack in May, 2021 when “all of a sudden, this pain hit me in my chest, down my arm.

He's not the fastest but he's big, can bring the ball back without being bullied when tackled, is good under the high ball, experienced for good positioning in defence, veteran of 9 Origins (last one in 2022) and would be a steal if we picked him up for 400K-500K. He's only 800K at the Broncos and as chumps, they can pay him to play for us.</p><p>I'm sure he'd say "YES PLEASE " if BA made a call. Broncos too would be happy to let go of a disgruntled player. Such a signing would shore up our weak back line. He's only 29 so he has a couple good seasons left for sure. If I remember correctly we were going hard for him a few years back but BA decided to go for Fergo instead.</p><p>Make it happen. I'd rather sign Oates for 400K than Lomax for his 800K and having to trade Matterson for him. I think Matto is needed if we are to have success this season. He can play in the middle.

<p><span style="font-size:48px;">O</span>n Friday night's hyped-up Battle of the West, the Panthers are overwhelming favorites to bounce back from some recent knock-downs when they host the Eels.</p>
<p>However, the Eels have been the biggest thorn to the Panthers of all clubs since the Panthers' rise from 2020, despite the Panthers belting the Eels when it counts the most. And there is plenty of good noise and confident-spiel coming out of the Eels' camp on the back of their longer pre-season.</p>

<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Apex Predators </strong></span></p>
<p>From 2020, the Panthers have the most dominating four-year run since the modern game started in 1967, marked by the beginning of limited-tackles and end of the Unlimited Tackle epoch. That's 57 years.</p>
<p>Penrith's winning ratio (around <strong>84%</strong>) over the last four years is even higher than the Saints 11-year title run between 1955-56 (at a tad over <strong>81%</strong>).</p>
<p>But, can they maintain the rage for a four-peat and still be the leading benchmark?</p>
<p>It's early days, but some are already questioning it after the Storm loss and the loss of two more key players, Chrichton and Leniu, from last year's squad. Putting aside the Saints' record-11-peat-title reign ending in 1966, a four-peat was last achieved <strong>almost</strong> <strong>a</strong> <strong>century</strong> <strong>ago</strong> in 1929. </p>
<p>If any team could rewrite the history books, this mob would be the One.</p>

<p>Perhaps, it's a testament to the Eels' great potential that they have had the most success of any club against the Panthers during their golden run. </p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>An Eels' win would be in rarified air: more than a few blue moons</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Against the Panthers, the Eels have won the last game at BlueBet and two-straight games. Improving on that, rewrites the history books.</p>
<p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}12399206098,RESIZE_1200x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}12399206098,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="12399206098?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="710" /></a></p>

<p>The last time the Eels have won at three straight against them <strong>over 22 years</strong> ago (R1, 2002, above pics), when Nathan Cleary was four. Luke Burt set a point-scoring record and all-female cheerleading cast was the norm. That was 17 Blue Moons ago, and at home.</p>
<p>The Panthers have an imposing recent record at home. They have won 10 from the last 11 (<strong>90.1%</strong>, since R1, 2023) at a bone-rattling <strong>31.5 - 11.8 average. </strong></p>
<p>Their <strong>only loss</strong> at home during this time in the last year, was to the Eels late last year (18-32, R26, 2023). But it's been <strong>16 years</strong> since the Eels won two-straight there. 13 blue moons have come and gone since then.<br /> <a href="{{#staticFileLink}}12399867698,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}12399867698,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="12399867698?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="710" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Motivated to hit-back</strong></span></p>
<p>The Panthers' pride should see them highly-motivated for this game to avoid a series of losses.They have lost the last two games (Storm 0-8 last week, World Club Challenge 2024 12-16). The last time the Panthers lost three-straight was five years ago.</p>

<p>Last round, the Panthers lost a close encounter away to the Storm, 0-8, in an error-riddled affair. Oddly enough, over the last 12 years (since R5, 2013), the Storm are the only team to have kept the Panthers scoreless and it was on three occasions (last round; 0-16 on R22, 2022; 0-20 on R13,2015).

<p>In contrast, the Eels had a solid win over the Dogs 28-8. The highlight was the Eels' forward-pack, an agressive physicality and control over the match, despite a stuttering that didn't see them take full advantage of overwhelming possession (60%) , field possession, and opportunities in the red zone (51-12). The Dogs were never allowed to get out of second gear and Foxsport commentators noted their "sportscars (on the left edge including the Fox-Chrichton-Kikau) were on a dirt road."</p>
<p>However, a handful of late-match errors (dropped balls by Pensini and Hopgood with both not watching the ball) saw the Dogs score two late tries. Two errors, two tries.</p>
<p>That begs a few questions. What if the Dogs had more opportunities in the Eels' red zone? Has the Eels' red zone vulnerability and ability to defend their errors been addressed during the off-season?</p>
<p>Encouragly, there's plenty of positive noise coming out of the Eels' camp.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Good noise: Rinse, Repeat</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2024/03/12/matterson-on-bulldogs-win-and-penrith-challenge/?" target="_blank">"No one really worries us"</a>, <a href="https://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2024/03/12/matterson-on-bulldogs-win-and-penrith-challenge/?" target="_blank">Ryan Matterson</a> told reporters yesterday when asked who he fears from Penrith. It seemed to have a wider meaning.</p>
<p>"We're focused on ourselves," he added.</p>
<p>Despite the Eels' recent success against the Panthers, Matterson pointed out that was not what gave the Eels' confidence.</p>
<p>"The work we've done in the pre-season gives us confidence."</p>
<p>Again the promising off-season is a theme we've heard numerous times coupled what what Arthur has called a greater "focus on more fan engagement". Nothing engages fans more than winning and playing well.</p>
<p>The other theme to arise this week is the idea of "<strong>consistency</strong>". </p>
<p>In the past, we've been awfully consistent too: consistently inconsistent from half-to-half, week-to-week. </p>
<p>"It's all about<strong> repeating</strong> what we did <strong>last week</strong>," <a href="https://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2024/03/12/ofahengaue-previews-panthers-and-parras-power-game/" target="_blank">Joe Ofahengaue</a> told reporters this week. Playing "tough" footy through the middle.</p>
<p>"<strong>Parra's power game</strong> has always been there, it's more the consistency part (that has been lacking)", Matterson reinforced.</p>
<p>The legendary middle "power game". "Chasing the Collision". But with more consistency. More intensity. More aggression. </p>
<p>Interestingly, when asked, Matterson said he "<strong>didn't know</strong>" why the Eels play well against the or if they did anything special against the Panthers. Almost as if the game plan, even against the best, by default goes to a structured, middle power-game that earns the right to play some second-phase footy, seeing we're the Harlem Globetrotters of offloads. The tough first, then the pretty.</p>
<p>A defensive downside of a heavy-loaded, middle-centric mindset is the heavier-concrete-footed inside gets overly compressed especially when fatigued leaving the edges vulnerable. We've seen that consistently, year after year. We also saw symptoms of those bad habits in the Canberra trial. It's not all about power and brute force. It's about lateral agility and moving together organically along with slowing the ruck something we haven't been king pins on in the past. </p>
<p>Encouragely, against the Dogs there was plenty of aggressive, Pantheresque hunting-in-packs defence driving the ball-carrier backwards, back-pedalling the ball, which helps slow the ruck and build dominance. </p>
<p>Yet, will it continue? Will the Eels' become more consistent in the manner they aim, and not crack under pressure as they have in the past, consistently?</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Bottom Line</strong></span></p>
<p>Eels' fans will be hoping that the longer off-season with renewed focus on more gutso, physicality and dominating defence - a redemption for last year's "embarrassing" aches - counts for something.</p>
<p>We have not proven anything of substance, yet.</p>
<p>Nevetheless, there were plenty of positives from the round one win. It's all about better habits that appear to have started last week and in the off-season. And just like the round one performance Arthur noted they "needed", they need to do it again. Yet, only time will tell how much the Eels will step up, consistently. Sybil's habits may die hard.</p>
<p>We all know the Panthers are likely to prevail. But if the Eels can bring their agressive A-game, defend their line and errors, take advantage of their second-phase skills, they can upset the game's biggest predator. </p>

Mainly on my YouTube channel and that has been ticking along nicely since the start of the year.</p>
<p>But I was looking at a way to provide even better content outside of the YouTube zoo, especially given its copyright hunting.</p>
<p>So I have put together a live, online masterclass for later in March. I didn't want to be seen to utilise this platform to promote a separate project. So the link below provides all 1 Eyed Eel members free access.</p>
