        • Well i only go off a mate who works with James Galvin. He told me striaght up Lachie's family all wanted him to go to Parra as they supported the club. But he chose Dogs due to Luke Vella and to play 7 with the pitch Ciraldo gave him. He was sold being the face and the man. 

      • Jersey flegg 36 years.  Is this correct.  ?

        Embarrassing all around.  46 years of failures under Sarantinos and o'neill. But they say the club has never been in a better position financially. Brilliant 

        Then we have the people on here saying we don't need change.  Everything is fine.

        • Chiefy, if Sarantinos has been at the Eels since 2016 and O'Neil since 2018, can you tell us how that adds up to "46 years of failures under Sarantinos and O'Neil"?

          Enquiring mathematicians want to know. 

          • Shhhh Daz let him go, it is comedy gold.

            • But LB I want Chiefy to articulate the premises. Because that's kinda like helping the comedy routine achieve its true glory?!

          • Add the years of failure from every team Einstein 

            • Well you're right about one thing, Chiefy. Einstein did say time is relative to the motion of the observer, and your motion is toward any conclusion that can be made (by whatever means necessary) highly negative. 

              By your logic, though, the Bunnies in 2026 are a miracle. In 2025 the Bunnies had 10 players suffer injuries putting them out for the season, which by your logic is 10 years worth of injuries, so realistically the Bunnies should struggle to field a side until 2035

        • Mind you, we only won 1 Flegg title in the 80's. Only 3 overall; 1970, 1985 and 1990.

          • JF is the least important comp to win. It's just a fill in comp. Best players of JF are in nrl or cup

            • Oh i was more so saying it is not overly important, hence my admission of only one title in the 80's. As you said it is not overly important. It is an oddly placed competition. Those who are great are either in NRL or NSW Cup by the time they are 19/20. Same with 21.

              Look at our current NSW Cup team and NRL team. Here is who is eligible for Flegg.

              Da Silva 21

              Tuivaiti 21

              Alamaddine 21

              Vaivela 21

              Talataina 20

              Lokeni 21

              Funa-Iuta 20

              Talagi 19

              Visconti 21

              Beattie 21

              Penisini 21

              Fletcher 19

               

              Either in NRL, NSW Cup or injured. I mean that is a lot. As i said before, out of Matts, Ball, NSW cup and NRL, Flegg is probably dead last in importance. The only benefit of it is for kids coming out of Ball to get some good footy under their belt against older players. Once good enough they move to Cup anyway. 

              Talagi has done that. Petrus has as well, Koina will be next. It is a place holder comp if anything. It is a good league for 18 year olds who show promise to play against stronger competition. Though as soon as it becomes easier, they are into Cup for their proper development.

              Gone of the days of Holden Cup where players would skip NSW Cup into NRL. It still happens but is quite rare compared to the Holden Cup days where it was more frequent.
