Game day blog - Eels vs Sea Eagles

Well, this game will be bigger than a bullocks scrotum and more intriguing than a end of season chat between Nick Politis and Tedesco.

Rd 10 - Review - Right Edge Defence

Player in focus will be Waqa Blake (Missed 6 tackles)

As you can see, it was just a normal hit up for the warriors. Blake tries to be aggressive, however as the bottom left photo shows, he is coming from a bad angle and doesn’t have his body in front

Do you know how long I've been wanting to write that headline? It's my favourite headline and appeared on an advertisement on the Eels team poster from 1986.
