Ignore history, just blow them away: Brian Smith on the tactics Eels must adopt to upset Panthers
Few men know more about coaching Parramatta than Brian Smith. He has coached the Eels more times than anyone else in their history, with 243 games betwee
Two salvage teams, two ‘fly in & fly out’ missions, two simmering jungles in the heart of enemy territory, two objectives with near impossible odds of survival….One identical outcome.
I can't believe it! We're into the Grand Final! Unbelievable defence. By the stats the Cowboys were the better team but we hung in took our chances. Lost for words! Absolute true grit! Massive congrats to the players and the coaching staff.
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.
"I want to see us control the ruck and complete high.
I mentioned this last year we have to prepare like we are playing Melbourne that's the aim.
None of that BS we saw last year high error count ball movement that came with it.If we are to use the…"
"I'm not a fan of Doorey he is limited and doesn't offer much imo at nrl level.Cup he's fine but outside of that he's a spot player.Use sparingly and he's just a depth player for me.Playing 13 is a ball runner and that's about it from what I can see."
"One of the things I like looking for out of our middles is in defense without the ball for consecutive sets how much linespeed we lose and what sought of motor our big guys have.
I saw this as a weakness in Tuivaiti last year there were a couple of…"
