      Richie P on the wing? Has he played on the wing before? Is this a trial to see if he can potentially develop into a winger moving forward?

      • EA > Gucci April 21, 2026 at 6:02pm

        Yea he played on the wing a couple times in JF when he was 18 years old. Thats when he got promoted from SG ball when we won the comp in 2023. 

      • LB > Gucci April 21, 2026 at 7:46pm

        Actually is smart as we have nothing at Wing if anyone goes down so why not get Richie ready is asked to come in?

        • Gucci > LB April 21, 2026 at 7:51pm

          Agreed. If he runs like Will but just more athletic he would be a perfect winger. Hopefully gets a good run without injury.

      Who would get priority over Nanva and Richi Penisini?

      • EA > Clintorian April 21, 2026 at 11:12pm

        Richie is top 30 contract whilst Nanva is train and trial.

      EA, now that Ball has finished, what is the development comp that the players that don't get promoted to Flegg play? From your reports we a great bunch of forwards coming through, but don't know the systems like you as to what happens next. Hoping that Koina gets promoted and has the inner drive to improve. Hopefully then it's easier to keep him because of his dad's connection with the eels.

    Peter Gough is the ref? Surely that's a piss take by the NRL? In Round 5 Eels vs Tigers Gough forgot the rule book and also orchestrated the game via one knee jerk whistle and six again after another. He was dropped for Round 6.  Now his first game back is the Eels again?

    NRL Piss Take

    • Stevo > Prof. Daz April 21, 2026 at 7:57pm

      Maybe he will repent, got his ass kicked for his carry on and now get his chance to do right or even worse haha

       

      • Prof. Daz > Stevo April 21, 2026 at 8:22pm

        How will Gough go with Moses, given the NRL sent a letter to Moses warning him for having expressed some credulity about Gough's refereeing?
