She has done a great job with Isaiah. Maybe she can help with our emerging forwards. She seems especially interested in defence - maybe she can teach our outside backs to tackle as well.

Would also help Isiaah settle in at Parra.

  Steam rolling Josh Papalii on the try line got to count as more than 1 tackle break

His def lost some weight since his joined the eels u can see it in the photo here. Hopefully they do the same to big greig and he can be a great buy for us. I got a feeling his going to be really really good for us at the back end

Wow his Mum sounds like an amazing lady. I don't think there'd be too many NRL players' Mums providing game play analysis for their sons. What a great story. I can't believe more media outlets haven't picked up on that.

      Great Story, he has become a favourite of everyone's.
      
      I was wrapped in a early season game when I saw him doing cover defence, a lost art for many young forwards.
      
      I don't know much, anything about our womens team, but as the headline says' get her over here and on the coaching staff...... I hope we are giving him a little extra already! He is a 600k forward sometime in the future.

This is no doubt the best article I have ever read about taking a Walk through Hell and coming out the otherside a winner.

And YYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sign Lorinna now - I remember watching her play her return match (last year) and was gobsmacked at her fitness, determination and talent. Tough as Teak.

If she can rehab Isaiah the way she has she would do wonders in any team imo.
