As we go 3 and 5 with a Bye / Brisbane / Melbourne / Bunnys and the Sharks coming up, all logic dictates that we could quite easily find ourselves rooted to the bottom of the League table. Our season in shambles, the volcanic pressure to replace the
The free-falling Eels are staring down the barrel of another nail in their season’s coffin. They sit like ducks in the target arrow of the public's microscope just waiting to dissect their ANZAC performance.
Facing a horror run and at least the next six weeks without general Mitchell Moses, Parramatta’s season is slipping away. Brad Arthur has a highly rated halfback but will the coach pull the trigger?
Following the Wednesday review, Arthur doubled down on what he said in the round four press conference, explaining what went wrong with the Eels against the Tigers.
"We played a soft style of football" and "looked for soft options".
Thunderdbird Two to Thunderbird One, do you read me? Static. No Reply. That was the Eels against the Tigers. The Thunderbirds was of course a TV show aired 1965-1966, featuring the Tracy family as operators of International Rescue, a secret para-mili

"I agree as i felt Moretti, like Doorey, would be here for 2027 as that depth option with experience where if say Hopgood goes down for a week, you can bring either in no worries.
Ryles obviously loves him as Moretti was extended right after Ryles…"
"Sort of, but also i think it is fair to give him another season to see how his body holds up. Being that size and playing regular starting footy at Prop can do a lot to a 21 year old. One more season where he only gets 12-15 games, then yeah."
"Til 2030 at least. Him and Leniu are a nice counter balance in that Leniu is that high energy mad man, Tuivaiti is the bigger working middle who can pump out 50-55+mins and make over 30 tackles with 10+ more runs. I felt Tuivaiti was underwhelming…"
"The only reason people are suggesting moving Williams is due to Su'A, obviously, taking one edge spot next to Moses. Then you have Kautoga on the left with Luai where he is comfortable.
