Well done to BA and the lads, big critic of BA, but credit where credits due tonight.

Time to revert to Dylan on the left and Moses on the right

I understand if BA does not want to swtich Dylan Brown and Gutho. Dylan Brown has only ever played 2 games at fullback in his life and he lost both those game. So surely it is time for Dylan and Moses to go back to their original sides. The idea of t

R21 v Souths: free-falling into the rabbit hole

"Crushed like a souffle under a sledgehammer," seems more appropriate in describing the Eels' of late than it did Elon Musk's concerns over Tesla's stock a few years ago.

R20 v Roosters: Keep your head on, Eels

In 1975, Van McCoy ft. Pan’s People released Do the Hustle, a song with just two lines repeated endlessly for about 4:00 minutes: ‘do the hustle, ooh, do it!’ Do the Hustle is a metaphor for how the Eels play. Like that bloody disco song, the Eels ar
