Let's face it, we're up against it tonight in Townsville!
The Cows have won 5 on the trot and have named an unchanged lineup. Sivo and more importantly, RCG are out with Blake and Ogden to replace them. It's an opportunity for Blake to make a statemen

Charles Dickens once wrote that “the most important thing in life is to stop saying ‘I wish’ and start saying ‘I will’. Consider nothing impossible, then treat possibilities as probabilities.” This line is from the semi-autobiographical David Copperf
What a fortnight can do. Going from scoring 42 points in one half, most in club history. To having 46 put on us the following week. In hindsight that can come from Gutho not being at the back fixing gaps and holes. Sean Russell playing only his secon

5 wins in a row? We dare to dream as the Eels go up against competition new comers the Dolphins.
The Dolphins come off a smashing at the hands of Manly last time they played before having a bye. It's a danger game for the Eels who should win, but with
"It's pretty sad though, he has completely lost the dressing room. Or Moses is that valuable and inspiration able on the field we can't win without him. "
"Eh doesn't matter now. I was always a BA supporter but his lost the room, I think all us fans need a change and it's time for one. Unless something dramatically changes in coming weeks a care taker needs to take over and sign another coach. I would…"
