Poppa's Corner: Five-Eights and Fullbacks
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

Round 21, 2024
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.

What does our salary cap look like for 2026?
Under Jason Ryles, the club has been clearing the decks at breakneck speed.
Of the 31 players that pulled on the Blue and Gold in 2024, only 14 remain contracted for 2026.
Since then, the Eels have debuted 15 players.
Given the turnover, there has be

Iongi news, how does that effect us for the rest of 2025 and even beyond?
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

BACK TO THE FUTURE (WHICH IS NOW)
‘Our future is now’ - Jason Ryles.
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.

Have we finally got what we need?
As our season unofficially closed this weekend and attentions get turned to next season, I was struck by the coaching maturity of Jason Ryles.
Here is a man, a rookie coach, completely reinventing our Eels.

Poppa's Corner: A Reality Check, But Not Blaming Anyone
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

Game Day Blog R19 v Penriff: Junz's 200th; Spine reshuffles, Cleary, Yeo, Simmo, Little Pap in (32-10 Loss)
This blog was largely written by the legendary Dr Holdon T. Wilson, with a bit of help from me.
UPDATE: Eels lost 32-10 after being in the game at half-time behind by 2 (10-12), and arguably the better team. But after the break, the Panthers took

How our top 30 is shaping up for 2026 and beyond
I can immediately see that Jason Ryles is following a similar approach to Bellache at Storm and Cleary at Panthers. JR is locking down members of the spine long term which helps build combinations and consistency over a period of time. This is essent

Bit of a rough game but 3 players that prob stood out to me,
3 Kautoga - Dangerous every touch and seems to be growing in confidence each game.
2. Kelma - one of his better games of the season but probably getting 4 weeks for that crusher. He's buil
