The Commbank crowd, the second-largest of the season, rose as one, applauding. Ryley Smith’s passion-drenched face said it all as the Eels closed the year winning five of their last seven.
It summed up how Eels fans felt watching the 66–10 annihilati
UPDATE: The Eels 66-10 anniliation of the Knights is the highest score posted in 18 years (since 2007, 68-22 vs Broncos). It is the fourth highest in the Eels' history. It matches the highest score produced by the record-breaking 2001 team (R11, 66-
Last Friday, Junior Paulo etched his name into club history as the tenth most capped Eel of all time. It speaks to his endurance and resilience over 13 seasons.
At nearly 32, many wondered if Junior was a spent force over the last few seasons. Inst
Just looking back at some of the stats from the last game, unbelievable effort from Hopgood. Lot of people have been bashing him on socials all season (not much of that here) for his errors but he has really finished the season with a bang. Propgood
UPDATE: We upset the Chooks 30-10. We hustled, hunted in packs. Pressured the Roosters into imploding. Roosters made 11 errors completing 1/9 in the last twenty minutes when the game was on the line at 20-10.
There has been plenty of discussion this year about our approach to recruitment and retention.
Both Jim and Matt Beech have been forthright in the focus being on bringing through juniors. Despite that we've seen external signings during the season su
Coach Jason Ryles and captain Mitchell Moses summed it up best in the post-game press conference after our 20-16 round 24 loss to Souths. We went in as hot favourites. Most confident of an Eels victory. Our Boogeyman struck again. History delivere
UPDATE: Souths won 20-16. The Boogeyman strikes again. They rose to the occasion. Gray-Duncan starred. Eels completed at 70%, made more errors 15-7, possession split 50% each. Eels made more metres (1757-1480m), more linebreaks (9-6), less missed tac
I know there is still 4 rounds left, but me being me i cannot wait. Plus i think a lot of these choices will not change in the next 4 weeks anyway. Here are some categories:
Commbank. Sunday Footy. Indigenous Round. Fox Sports’ Vossy summed it up before kickoff: “You get the feeling there will be lots of points in this one.”
"LB, perceived fair value and expectations are important nuances.
If a player feels undervalued, grievance is inevitable. If he’s overpaid, pressure intensifies. And if he’s unhappy, money won’t fix it.
I don’t buy the idea elite players take unders…"
"Adam, see hereunder, the bottom line is that what you are referring to is essentially the end of the season.
This makes sense as many variables will ocur, a mature management process would be structured to represent all sorts of contingencies and…"
"Mantra a good choice, nice rooms, pool, spa.
Easy walk over the bridge to the sporting precinct, bit of a walk into the city but not to bad.
Hopefully we go better than last year, that was a hard sit in the stands "
"LB at what stage of the season do teams have to have the 97.5% (is that the figure?) of their cap spent?
Spot on timing is the issue which is why we shouldn't rush to do anything. I commented a long long time ago in regards to recruitment that we…"
