Something that has been going around in my head lately has been how the players interact with fans and, from a wider lense, how the club interacts with its fans.
The club recently had its Easter visit to Ronald McDonald House which was undoubtedly ex
Is it weird to still be confident we can win the comp after a 1-4 start? Should i get checked out? Should i be taken away from my house wearing a straight jacket? This team can be competitive, there are pieces missing, we have came up against top 8 q
This is a slightly different tack to the same old questions, but at the same time, I think it identifies with Parra's need to be more visionary with our development squads and recruitment.
Last night I was at the annual presentation of a senior distr
I was confident, backs to the wall we like adversity. Full marks to BA, he was able to get them up and got them ready to go. It could be a kick start to our season, we were tough and strong and on top for most of the game. It showed we are good enoug
If the Eels can't get up and on the board after being bashed, hunteddown and owned by the Panthers in the grand final and Finals Week 1, then maybe we need to hit rock bottom first.
Confucius the ancient Chinese Philosopher born in 551BC must have followed Rugby League all those years ago. The great man's ancient quotes seem tailor-made for us Eels fans.
Confucius Say: The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach y
This concept of IQ and footy smarts has become popular in recent times and I'm starting to wonder if we recruit from the other end. i.e. like picking a monkey, because you know you can train him....in Parra's case it seems that in terms of defense, t
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
"No no, hey I agree. As a club we need to be smart. Hopgood's body doesn't seem able to go through and entire year back to back. Koina seems like a similar player but is a bigger body to be a better ball runner and is cheaper.
Just smart management.…"
"Mon is the next piece of the puzzle to fall. I suspect he will be given time under the new administration to Impress, if he comes up short of expectation he will be moved on and then the next under the spotlight will be ryles.
May only the strong…"
"For me it's a no brainer, Williams and sua as starting edge forwards, if you want to play kautoga off the bench and use Williams as a middle for the latter stages of the game fair enough but Williams starts on an edge for me and I would not be…"
