The monkey was big, it was bad and it had taken up residence for nearly four years, but the Eels not only shook it off on Friday night, they pummelled it into oblivion as they ran away with a 40-4 week two finals triumph over the Canberra Raiders.
I said from the start of the year, prelim minimum is what is needed from BA and this squad. Well, we got to a prelim. For us it was from some fans "GF or bust" but to me it was let's get to a prelim first, and we got there so to me it is a successful
Rise up guys we're off to the Prelim! Outstanding team performance; we shut the Raiders out early and did not let up. Big guns stood up tonight, the most in sync I think this year. Congrats to the players and the coaching staff, well done!
Lord of the Flies is the 1954 novel by William Golding, about a group of boys marooned on a Pacific Island during wartime. The boys battle the conflicting impulses within themselves: to be civilized and orderly, or savage and disorderly. The boys ele
Well, going into what some thought was the game of the round turned out to be the dud of the round. It was competitive for the first 60 mins, as soon as Moses left the field it was cue Penrith demolition. We go into week 2 with history against us. It
The Good: Mitchell Moses. He outplayed Cleary in the time he was on field. The only blemish was missing the field goal, just. Otherwise, his kicking was 10/10.
I thought Nuikore and Kaufusi were very strong. It was Oregon's best game ever for us. Re
And so it begins. "Squeaky Bum Time", as the legendary coach Sir Alex Ferguson called it.
The Eels late-season renaissance has many fans dreaming of the seemingly impossible. But the Panthers are the best team in the competition and armed with the r
Odysseus (Roman name: Ulysses) was described by Homer in the Iliad as the IQ behind the Greeks winning the decade-long Trojan War (12th century BC). Famously, Odysseus snuck troops into Troy inside a Trojan Horse. Jealous of his otherworldly cunning,
“Just keep swimming!" is Dory's catchphrase to lift the spirits of down-in-the-dumps, father clownfish Marlin in Finding Nemo. That's just about all we can do, after yet another largely soul-less slaughter at the hands of the rampant Rabbits. 26-0.
Good lord, what a week can do. Go from two big wins and great performances, BA had saved his job and others were eching in how he would build our team for 2023, JA was a hero who might be a decent first grader, top 4 aspirations and consipiracy theor
The Round 16 game against the Bunnies was an exercise in Groundhog Day projections. We all anticipated a 38+ point drubbing and the result was not far off at a 12-30 loss. Here we are six weeks later. In the intervening five rounds, both Eels and Bun
It is amazing what a week can do, it could even move form to a side where BA will for sure save his job. I still hold the jury out until the end of the season until i pass judgement on his job status. Anyway there was a feeling all week, we were goin
"A good young player that will add value to our football program over time is ok, I reckon.
Someone like Mariner or T'oa and another decent youngster in an identified position (e.g. #6) would probably be acceptable."
"Will. Yes you are corect in that Galvin was under contract when the Eels approached him. However the circumstances were different and the Eels approach was totally legal. At that time Richardson-Tigers CEO- had offered Galvin a large increse in…"
"Just playing devil's advocate here, but wasn't Galvin still under contract with the tigers when Parra was trying to recruit him?
We are arguing that there is one rule for the storm and one rule us, but really we do it too"
