Ask no questions, and you’ll be told no lies. So says Pip’s sister, in Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations (1861), when Pip (see Chapter 2) had queried the sounds of guns in the distance. But Pip already suspected the truth. He knew convicts were on
Is our defence simply in need of a few plugged holes, or is it structurally a sinking ship?
In the Eels v Sharks preview, HOE very cleverly used the analogy of ‘alchemy’ - the transmutation process of turning metals into gold. In essence, the transf
Our worst start to a season since 2018, what happened in 2018? We lost our first 6 and 11 of our first 13, finishing last. This wont be a repeat, purely due to the fact our club is better ran than it was then and we have a better squad overall. Thoug
Well, if there's any pluses about the Eels playing in the 6pm Friday evening time slot, at home it would surely be that plenty of Parra faithful will flock to Commbank Stadium after work, but Sharks fans won't make the game in time for kick off.
Alchemy. The ancient art of transformation of metals into something greater than the sum of their parts. It's also about the hero’s transformative journey through all the Herculean-like tests. It explains much of Star Wars, The Mandalorian, its ligh
NRL is back and it was a pretty good game to kick-off the campaign. Hard battle on a humid night, i was boiling in my seat but that could also be due to nerves and frustrations of the game. Overall, not doom and gloom at the moment, we have sort of t
Once there was Chaos. The Earth (Gaia), the Underworld (Tartarus) and Desire (Eros) were born from the empty chaos. Gaia took Uranus (now retired near BlueBet) as her husband and mothered twelve Titans. Atlas (son of the Titan Iapetus and the nymph K
There's no doubt that we will be missing a few players next year. Do the recruits step up or do we take a step back in 2023? I believe the recruitment of Hodgson and Barrett will be a huge boost for the club. Hodgson is our man, if he stays injury fr
How would you rate our 2022 NRL season?, was it a pass for this year or a failure?. We certainly did a lot better than most people predicted. After the Souths game where we lost 26-0 pretty much everyone wrote us off. I did my own review of the yea
"He's played 3 games this year and is 2 tries off the top try scorer. The criticism of him is more than fair but as a strike player he's fairly unrivalled. "
"If this team was playing under Bellamy, Sivo wouldn't have been re-signed in the first place. You don't get lazy players pulling down the team's standards in a Bellamy run club.
Sivo is totally useless out of our end, he makes too many errors…"
"Great point about the COE, Super. Is it still due for a March 2025 opening?
So, I just had a closer look at it.
Its central idea is inspirational: a "Community Hub" with "world class" facilities.
It's theme centres around a place of "togetherness":…"
"Sivo has just overtaken Steve Ella for number of tries scored for Parra, but he's achieved that with far fewer games. That's what makes this so much more frustrating. If he took the time to fix up a few basic rrors in his game, he could be a very…"
