Oddly enough, unlike most, I had no problems with player options.
Sure, they're instruments to get players across the line but they're misunderstood. People on here do not understand them or consider the bigger picture. Options were offered in lieu o
This is an article similar to what i posted a few months ago. Ryles is doing what many, if no rookie coaches do. He could have had the likes of Lane, Matto, Ofahengaue, Cartwright etc. still playing, let them see out their deals and ease the young ki
The last time the Eels beat the Storm, we had a Moses-Brown-Guthorino-Reed spine and were singing Happy Days with The Fonz. That was 2022. Since then, we’ve lost a record-breaking five-straight against them. And in those games they treated us like th
The Kaizen Way 改善. Constant Improvement. All for One, One for All.
That journey continues tonight against the high-flying fifth-placed Broncos on a five-game winning streak are looking to win five-straight against the Eels for the first time sin
This is receiving a fair bit of discussion and was touched upon in NOS' outstanding blog on the now-injured Iongi. I thought it could be better discussed in isolation where some may like to offer their observations over the years of similar compariso
I was going through my camera roll earlier, and came across this photo of our lineup from exactly one year ago — Round 21, 2024 against the Melbourne Storm.

Not official and not mentioned anywhere else as of yet, though with Isaiah Iongi set miss 4 weeks, it is a blow to Parra's end of season and our challenge to avoid the spoon. Though it is doom and gloom make no mistake, is it as doom and gloom as man
It is a little known fact that the new Eels coach, Jason Ryles, is a science-fiction writer. The Future is Now is a 2025 novel depicting a bet on the future of humanity, or more precisely a multi-generational cohort of mentally and emotionally fatigu
Whether we like it or not, as Eels fans we find ourselves again remaining ‘patient’ as results become secondary to experience for the remainder of 2025.
I get it, but, watching relentless coverage of an emotio
Yesterday's game was unfortunate. Not just for the putrid 32-10 scoreline to honour Junior's 200th after looking up for the game in the first half or the second half implosion. But because it told us that we are not going anywhere, despite our hope f
"Kautoga showed so much promise and improvement towards the end of the year. He runs a good line, is good in defence, gets through work and posesses an offloard. I just think it is promise from him, plus Ryles seems to be a big fan. But if Tuilagi…"
"It amazes me that there are battlers out there who still purchase this trash. I wonder what percentage of those readers that are left, (not many) fall for the BS contained within, (particularly in the political pages)?"
"Bailey was training with the reserves in a opposed session he is coming back from injury so maybe Samrani is filling in but I thought it was interesting im not opposed to it he would do the grunt work from our end"
"I don't get the obsession over Kitione Kautoga? Nothing special with much errors in his game, I have Williams & Tuilagi infront for both back row positions."
