After being gutted and smoked head-to-toe by the then last-placed Bulldogs on Monday, the Eels need to desperately resurrect themselves from the ashes or risk being buried deeper into their season's burial tomb. But, how deep are our scars and unde
If you look at all of the top teams right now, one of the consistent elements they have is creativity around dummy half. I was really struck during Origin, at the difference that Grant made, and I thought Cook was the one taking us forward - because
Parramatta have axed forward Nathan Brown for Saturday's clash with the Roosters, with the Eels also recently informing the lock forward that he doesn't have a long-term future at the club.
Sources with knowledge of the situation told the Herald th
You lead by example, that is something lacking from both Gutho and Paulo. Needed someone to grab the team by the scruff of the neck and demand excellence. Gutho is the voice of this team, where it was said Paulo is not much of a talker, though more o
Lol this will be short and sweet in the first part. Embarrassing, no way around it, Wests was bad enough at home, but we gave up i rarely say that but we did. 1-17 were abysmal and derserve the criticism, BA deserves some also, a lot of issues that k
It is 216 BC and Hannibal’s Carthaginians have met the Romans at Cannae (southern Italy). Hannibal is outnumbered: 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry versus the Romans with 80,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry. The Romans thought they could just send th
With news of the Salary Cap sky rocketing expectations to a proposed $10.5 million, questions will be asked how much money will players off contract recieve. Dylan Brown and Mitchell Moses are two players with a microscope on them and rightfully so,
38-0, great win but some stats have really caught my eye. Now of course the result may have actually made these stats a bit better than what they should be, but still good to look at some great and some meh.
This is the sequel to an earlier blog on the quarter-way mark. Here, we are looking at some mid-season markers, indicators and lessons from NRL history over the last twenty four years.
So, we're fifth at the end of round 12 and will be at the end of
Parramatta has upped the ante in the fight for Ryan Matterson, tabling a revised four-year deal in the hope of keeping the NSW State of Origin star out of the clutches of Wayne Bennett and the Dolphins.
Back to back wins for the first time since round 3-5. It was overall a great game to watch, Canberra in form at home and us coming off a win v Manly, it met up to the expectation. 48% possession yet felt like we were in control of the game, particula
Losing Reed to Canterbury was a massive blow. However, I am not impressed with his development in 2022. He may have peaked. He has done some good things but also created some terrible situations by not being in sync with our two halfs who have killed
So with Papali'i, Niukore, Stone now looking like Matterson too, we have Shaun Lane........and that's it for our edge players next year. Yeah we have Cartwright but he can't even make it now how will he for 2023 full-time.
Coming into the season Ryan Matterson was viewed as a starting player in the side. A strong, powerful backrower with good hands and good defence, he's the type of backrower Parramatta likes and is needed in today's game.
"No way in hell he over rated now over payed i wouldn't hsve Dylan playing for us even he was playing for free
When he retires he wil be not a has been he be a never was
Dylan not a NRL player
Thank you Newcastle for taking him i cant thank you…"
"I think his form has just echoed the teams form.
The team as a whole has underperformed for coming on 3 seasons now for one reason or another.But you are correct his body language is one whose mind is somewhere else.
We want these halves to perform…"
"I think we'll be lucky to win another game for the rest of the year looking at that run.
Who have we got at home amongst that because we aren't touching Melbourne Brisbane Canberra Roosters and the Warriors.That leaves South's and the Cows and even…"
"Haven't seen them play are those guys in SG got a promising future or just like any first grader talent only goes so far once you hit first grade completely different game then judge if they make it "
