There has been plenty of discussion this year about our approach to recruitment and retention.
Both Jim and Matt Beech have been forthright in the focus being on bringing through juniors. Despite that we've seen external signings during the season su
Coach Jason Ryles and captain Mitchell Moses summed it up best in the post-game press conference after our 20-16 round 24 loss to Souths. We went in as hot favourites. Most confident of an Eels victory. Our Boogeyman struck again. History delivere
UPDATE: Souths won 20-16. The Boogeyman strikes again. They rose to the occasion. Gray-Duncan starred. Eels completed at 70%, made more errors 15-7, possession split 50% each. Eels made more metres (1757-1480m), more linebreaks (9-6), less missed tac
I know there is still 4 rounds left, but me being me i cannot wait. Plus i think a lot of these choices will not change in the next 4 weeks anyway. Here are some categories:

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.
