So it seems at this stage, Kelma Tuilagi and Morgan Harper are the only two signings so far for 2024. Meaning we have 27 spots locked up for 2024. Now Luca Moretti has not be signed for 2024, bet he will be therefore it will be 28. So usually clubs l
So now the NRL season is officially over, now comes the speculatoin point of the season, quite frankly the worst part of the year. The month of October is the worst as November is when training starts and can start to get an idea of the team structur
Back in August I dissected many of the issues surrounding Parramatta's style of play that led to their lacklustre 2023 season. Now I'm here to offer some solutions and, at least, some reasoning as to why that occurred.
The eels will play Panthers in week 1 of the finals at 11am on Saturday. The game will be streamed on NSWRL TV so I encourage everyone to watch to have an insight to our future stars. Even though we just scraped through to the finals, at full strengt
Parramatta's win over Penrith in their final match of the season was both heartwarming and frustrating. Had the side performed like that for the last 3 weeks they would be finals bound.
Instead they are in the dreaded "mathematical" chances window,
In Moneyball, Oakland A's GM Billy Beane introduces the concept of using statistics to identify players who can "get on base" so they can make up for the loss of Giambi.
He gets push back from his scouts who like to use the "eye test". In a confront
Ladies and Gentlemen, like all of you, I'm still too emotionally raw to dissect and analyse this season, our annus horribilis, or player performances. Yet I had to look for some positives in a small handful of players, for putting in more consistentl
Despite everyone else outside a handful of the most optimistic, having given up on them. Despite being ripped to shreds and minced into left-over roadkill against the Broncos 54-10 last week to record the biggest
I believe, like most, our season is done. Unfortunately though unlike some of the more optimistic fans I don't believe we are going to do much better next year.
It’s time for Brad to move on. I hope he stays at the club but it seems clear to me that w
I have always thought that Junior Paulo is a starting prop. He's a big body, fit and skillful. He's also one of our highest paid players, an Origin player and international.
There is no doubt he is crucial to Parramatta's chances this year and going
As we turn for home in season 2023 it’s time we acknowledge a theme which seems to be running through our club currently. That theme is one of regular poor decisions. What is motivating those decisions is the million dollar question. Is it poor advic
Masterful, is how i explain what i witnessed on Friday night. It was majestic, well planned, beautiful, poetic and phenomenal. Just pure class and great performances on the screen. That is Oppenheimer i am talking about, not the piece of s*** i witne
In his 1933 US Presidential Inauguration, in the middle of the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “the only thing we have to fear is … fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyses needed efforts to convert retrea
"This is only for in-season. I'd imagine that in-season they reduce the amount of contact they're doing compared to the pre-season to limit injuries. "
"Any chance we've stumbled upon our long term 5/8? Late bloomer perhaps. I was keen to see Joash have a crack but he's a little on the chaotic side of things."
"He was hitting and spinning last year too. He gets elbows and knees on the ground and gets a quick play the ball. He should be out Lock moving forward."
