It is amazing what a week in rugby league does, a win and pain goes away. From blueprints being drawn up to tear down CommBank stadium last week to all quiet on the western front this week and further onwards til Souths next Saturday night.
It was a response we all wanted and some even expected considering the past games this year. Well done to the players for proving us wrong last night and to BA for giving them the chance to own their defeat to Canterbury. However, i will say, why doe
After being gutted and smoked head-to-toe by the then last-placed Bulldogs on Monday, the Eels need to desperately resurrect themselves from the ashes or risk being buried deeper into their season's burial tomb. But, how deep are our scars and unde
If you look at all of the top teams right now, one of the consistent elements they have is creativity around dummy half. I was really struck during Origin, at the difference that Grant made, and I thought Cook was the one taking us forward - because
Parramatta have axed forward Nathan Brown for Saturday's clash with the Roosters, with the Eels also recently informing the lock forward that he doesn't have a long-term future at the club.
Sources with knowledge of the situation told the Herald th
You lead by example, that is something lacking from both Gutho and Paulo. Needed someone to grab the team by the scruff of the neck and demand excellence. Gutho is the voice of this team, where it was said Paulo is not much of a talker, though more o
Lol this will be short and sweet in the first part. Embarrassing, no way around it, Wests was bad enough at home, but we gave up i rarely say that but we did. 1-17 were abysmal and derserve the criticism, BA deserves some also, a lot of issues that k
It is 216 BC and Hannibal’s Carthaginians have met the Romans at Cannae (southern Italy). Hannibal is outnumbered: 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry versus the Romans with 80,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry. The Romans thought they could just send th
With news of the Salary Cap sky rocketing expectations to a proposed $10.5 million, questions will be asked how much money will players off contract recieve. Dylan Brown and Mitchell Moses are two players with a microscope on them and rightfully so,
38-0, great win but some stats have really caught my eye. Now of course the result may have actually made these stats a bit better than what they should be, but still good to look at some great and some meh.
This is the sequel to an earlier blog on the quarter-way mark. Here, we are looking at some mid-season markers, indicators and lessons from NRL history over the last twenty four years.
So, we're fifth at the end of round 12 and will be at the end of
Parramatta has upped the ante in the fight for Ryan Matterson, tabling a revised four-year deal in the hope of keeping the NSW State of Origin star out of the clutches of Wayne Bennett and the Dolphins.
Back to back wins for the first time since round 3-5. It was overall a great game to watch, Canberra in form at home and us coming off a win v Manly, it met up to the expectation. 48% possession yet felt like we were in control of the game, particula
"Jack is the priority IMO. PNG are keen in him so gettinn him signed before November ineeds to be priority. Moretti plays a ryles style and runs great lines. He'd be my second priority of the three. Ideally we sign all 3. "
"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…"
