I haven't seen any of their games but I read everywhere we had alot of promise. Wondering, those who have followed them closer than I, what's going on?

They don't have enough talented players, they have a few good young ones but the women's comp is top heavy with most of the really good players shared amongst about 3 teams.
To me it looks like the eels aren't prepared to spend the money that the broncos and roosters are and rely on junior talent until they get picked off by the power clubs.
As they don't earn as much they are permitted to get jobs given to them from the club.
Obviously it is open salary cap rorting and clubs willing to pay them more for simple jobs get all the talent
This is what Fitler alluded to. Johns said how is that far.
They do have some good players coming through. 1 girl scored a 100m try the other week.
This year will be the 8th year of the NRLW. Only 3 teams have won the comp, Broncos, Roosters and Newcastle, and it will stay that way, most of the rep players come from these teams. If it continues this way I think the competition will finish sooner rather than later. The NRL need to do something about the uneven distribution of talent.
There's only about 5 or 6 players that are up to this standard. Defensively they are very passive. Opposition teams make 70 to 80m consistently. There are players that miss up to 8 tackles a game.
Game management is poor. They get to the red zone have a beast like Matele on 1 wing and a kick threat in fay on the other, yet for some reason they keep passing to middles. When Rory Owens was playing very rarely got good ball. Especially in the red zone.
They desperately need a rebuild.
Seriously, I'd rather have the old Holden cup than watch wnrl. The only interest for myself is Tiana Penatani 🥰💖💖

The game is growing and teams will be too. Hopefully soon they can do a full season like the NRL and play beforehand etc. But the talent needs to grow before teams.
