Towards the end of the 2025 NRL season I think a majority of Eels fans had some form of optimism for 2026 hoping it might be a possible top 8 position for the Eels.
However, this year has turned into one of the worst so far on record with Eels defence one of the worst on record since 1995 and plumetting.
If this year gets any worse it most certainly looks like a Wooden Spoon or very very close to it with the only likely opposition is the Dragons but once they start putting a few wins on the board they'll easily overtake the Eels whose for and against is the worst of all NRL teams.
It seriously needs to be questioned IF Jason Ryles and his assistants Nathan Brown and Sam Moa were the correct choices and IF the fitness and conditioning coach is even qualified because this is the most unfit and mentally unconditioned Eels team I've ever seen.
Where to from here? Who seriously knows.
The Eels can't attract any decent quality players and the current squad with or without injured players are bog average.
Considering it's been 40 years since the Eels last premiership it has to be asked what is Mark O'Neil, Jim Satantinos actually doing to fix this longest premiership drought in NRL history because from the outside looking in they certainly aren't doing anything accept collect their pay cheque.
The current idea floating around seeking tempory short term player loans from.other clubs isn't the answer. In fact, it could make matters worse and is really only a band aid trying to cover up more deeper serious problems.

Yes very fair LB. I definitely don't think it's for lack of trying, I think it's lack of experience and talent.
Mallee, have you ever thought to write in paragraphs lol
And your blog should be squarely aimed at Sarantinos and O'neill, the dumb and dumber of all sporting codes
Being a 'Para' supporter I thought 'Para' graphs would be appropriate 😂
Why im I always getting these very attractive middle aged asian ladies on my feed Super.? I don't mind but my misses thinks im checking porn sites 🤣
I think you and Chiefy should just worry about Gaffe's Mallee.
You are and Chiefy are a good pair, very different in that Chiefy loves his team and you love Losing.
So don't worry about Graphs.....just focus on:
A gaffe (spelled with an 'e') is an embarrassing, careless, or tactless mistake, often made in a social setting or in public. It is considered a faux pas, blunder, or a social error.
If the gaffe fits just keep wearing it.....
What's happening is not what the fans deserve..
It is exactly what the Club deserves our recruitment and development has held this club back for to long now its at forefront of What's happening the mismanagement at the top has created this.
