Injuries and age - who makes the cut?

Question is - given the age and injury toll, does anyone see any players being let go

Parra Should Swoop On McNamara If Bennett Heads To Souths

Coaching jobs in the NRL don’t get much bigger than South Sydney.

Jason Demetriou, sacked this week, knew that and accepted it at every turn, insisting to the last that it was his privilege to come to work at the club every day.

Now, with the hot sea

Tevita Taumoepenu now at South Sydney

In NSW Cup last week, Tevita Taumoepenu was on the bench for South Sydney. Seems we were able to offload him too. So another spot in the top 30 now available. Just another odd top 30 future signing we made that went horribly wrong. He was nothing mor

Zac Lomax

So what does Zac Lomax know about who will be coaching the Eels in 2025? He would have known  that without Mitch Moses the team would be on the backfoot for the rest of the season, he was o.k with a paycut and he would have also heard the rumblings a

Canberra won, what now?

If not Bennett, then who?

So while i lay around not feeling well on a cold and wet Sunday, i thought if not Bennett than who would be the right person to take us forward? Many would say "Anyone" and that would be a very reactionary decision based on the hatred of the current

Parramatta's Season Balances On A Razor's Edge

If Brad Arthur were deposed tomorrow, you'd hardly find an Eels fan who would disagree.

Only 18 months after a somewhat unexpected grand final appearance, Parramatta's fall from grace has been swift and brutal.

A massive injury toll cruelled their 20

Who is D.Brown referring to

Barrett?

Why are our Boards fixated on stability?

It's a question we've all been asking for these last years. Why are we so slow to change anything that's not working? Why are we so conservative? Why don't we act like other clubs at sacking coaches, boards, CEOs etc?

Now firstly, this isn't a defence
