Your right again LB, Kelly (if this is true) will need to start training as soon as they resume because he will not walk into a position. Contrary to the predeterminded views of a lot on here, I think Russell is the incumbent, along with Penisini and Kelly has to knock either of them to a wing or he himself is looking at the wing.
Indications is that Russell under the Parra sprint trainer has put on a couple of metres in pace. His defence is allready very good, ask the Broncos and if I am not too old my understanding is thhe modern day centre has a prime responsibility to be a defender as a priority......ask that of our young star that went to Penrith, they are still trying to find a place for him defensively. PS 5/8's need to be able to tackle as well!
Frankie, I get it, but this is actually quality moderation. He contacted the poster, they agreed, and it is public. I know you will think it is because "also lefty" but the mods have shown restraint and given out rope.
Hoe...You are navigating a polarized emotional time, and as with the Kirk saga, you and Super have shown commendable restraint and issued warnings and ultimatums publicly in an upfront manner. Good work
Also, I did not respond to Poppas blog as one part in particular left me with something to think about strongly enough that I then had to reflect on whether I needed to do some small self-adjustments. Turns out that he made one small specific point that did require me to make a small internal attitude adjustment regarding others.. .
Writing anything that makes a reader examine themselves, let alone having even one reader decide that their way of looking at things now needs a small adjustment, is an admirable acheivement.
Having to to give Kudos to Poppa is like nails down a chalkboard for me and risks increasing the size of his already massive head to planetry proportions, so I am loathe to do so.....but i guess that makes it even sweeter for him.

Randy, you and Pops, have much more in common than you might think. You're both truth seekers. Have deep empathy for others, Are willing to learn and open your mind to new knowledge. Strong-willed. Expressive. Blunt at times. Your minds are not concrete between the ears. Some others are more like tractors stuck in first gear, more interested in winning than understanding. Neither of you are that. That's just some reasons, I'm deeply fond of you both in a platonic way.
"It's a footy forum, and that should be it. We've lost quite a few good posters the last few years, I don't know whether it's because of politics, religion, racism, language or we have lost them because of the lack of success the club has had for…"
"I read a few eels forums and there is always lots of infighting. Seperating the politics is a good idea as it is toxic and devisive. I actually think think the quality of this site has improved somewhat in the last year or so. "
"I'm not sure when this site started but I've been on here from the early days and while I don't comment or post much I always check in to read everyone's opinions if they are good or bad. In all my time I've been here HOE I can say I enjoyed reading…"

Sean Russell going or not had nothing to do with Kelly signing.

Poppy who shut your blog ? Seem some weren't able to answer questions in away that suited their narrative and closed it 🤣
Frankie, you asked who closed the blog? I did, and I spoke with Poppa out of respect for him. His story was brilliant.
If you start talking religion in this footy blog, I'll delete your comments. Pull your head in and take it elsewhere.
Poppa's blog would have stayed open if you didn't carry on like pork chops, and it stains some of your more factual and valid points.

Kelly adds competition to Simonsson and Russell which is great.
Bye bye Bailey
