Ask no questions, and you’ll be told no lies. So says Pip’s sister, in Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations (1861), when Pip (see Chapter 2) had queried the sounds of guns in the distance. But Pip already suspected the truth. He knew convicts were on
Is our defence simply in need of a few plugged holes, or is it structurally a sinking ship?
In the Eels v Sharks preview, HOE very cleverly used the analogy of ‘alchemy’ - the transmutation process of turning metals into gold. In essence, the transf
Our worst start to a season since 2018, what happened in 2018? We lost our first 6 and 11 of our first 13, finishing last. This wont be a repeat, purely due to the fact our club is better ran than it was then and we have a better squad overall. Thoug
Alchemy. The ancient art of transformation of metals into something greater than the sum of their parts. It's also about the hero’s transformative journey through all the Herculean-like tests. It explains much of Star Wars, The Mandalorian, its ligh
NRL is back and it was a pretty good game to kick-off the campaign. Hard battle on a humid night, i was boiling in my seat but that could also be due to nerves and frustrations of the game. Overall, not doom and gloom at the moment, we have sort of t
Once there was Chaos. The Earth (Gaia), the Underworld (Tartarus) and Desire (Eros) were born from the empty chaos. Gaia took Uranus (now retired near BlueBet) as her husband and mothered twelve Titans. Atlas (son of the Titan Iapetus and the nymph K
There's no doubt that we will be missing a few players next year. Do the recruits step up or do we take a step back in 2023? I believe the recruitment of Hodgson and Barrett will be a huge boost for the club. Hodgson is our man, if he stays injury fr
How would you rate our 2022 NRL season?, was it a pass for this year or a failure?. We certainly did a lot better than most people predicted. After the Souths game where we lost 26-0 pretty much everyone wrote us off. I did my own review of the yea
To start of, like everyone else I am shattered that the Eels didn't win and went out the way they did, but if I look back at the season and how inconsistent they were over 2022, the result was to be expected. I am still super proud of them for making
"Hi mate, I have a 6 game flexi membership too. If you're just general admission, I eas told by the membership team that you can just rock up to whichever games you choose. As long as you have your card, you should be able to swipe it and get in. "
"Wouldn't give up on Kelly yet. He has some tekkers about him and some pace, can deputise Addo-Carr if JAC goes origin. When Kelly is on form in an attacking side he can be fun. Good option still."
"De Belin and Kelly were both placeholder signings till the next batch are ready. Both are 30 or above. They'll be used this year when needed and the more time they spend with us they'll pickup form.
But if they don't work they don't work. No…"
