Can we defend against teams that are playing catch-up style

It was no surprise that the Cows would wait until 20 minutes to go and then pile on the pointsThey have been doing it all year, but why couldn't we stop them?Similar thing has happened before - eg knights last yearOther teams seem to know how to main

Hopoate named for Blues (Game 2)

Blocker Roach

I just saw Sterlo Live and Steve "Blocker" Roach was on there. I miss him talking about Footy every week.Am I the only one who thinks he is a loss not in the game ?

Time's here. Never in doubt.

Pre Season Camp

In the pre season, instead of flying out 52 of our players and coaching staff to America to learn how to run a professional club ( which wasn't beneficial for everybody i.e Edwards taking piss tests for another team member)They should be flown to the

Signings!

There are so many questions on our side. Where is it going so wrong? Or us it that we are slowly getting it right? This team certainly playing better then past teams. The last couple of years we were getting flogged! But I feel this team playing some

The big sleep

For years I've watched so many eels games where they have clearly been the better side for 60 minutes only to switch off for twenty minutes and get run over . Whether it is at the start of the game or end , it's been there in so many games . I've alw

Team list Round 14.

Unless we show some goddam ticker & have a go in defence for the remainder of the year, any team we face from now to round 26 won't give a damn about who they're up against when they face the Eels.You've lost the respect from your opponents lads, all

Why are our players so mentally weak?

This has been the core problem since the retirement of Cayless five years ago. Mind you, the Eels have never really been known as a team respected for their toughness, but this has become a massive and glaring issue for this team in recent seasons. K

10/10

I remember back in the day they gave out ratings for all the games with the rare 10/10 popping up. I think stero got a perfect 10 for a match against the rooster where he was flawless and did everything. The point being semi's performance against the

Hayne a long way to go.

Hayne needs to seriously modify running style before he's a chance, and then there is the question of padding. If he fails can we fit him back into the side.We have first preference from what I hsther. Sandow and lussick clear cash, and then we could

I love old balls.

No, Bert hasn't just outed himself as the next Caitlyn Jenner.

I'm talking about the old school footballs. I was watching a reply of an 80's SOO match and the memories came flooding back about me hounding my old man to buy me a football that had the w

Interchange reduction and our best 17

If the proposed interchange rules go ahead then more of Monday Nights next year? All this talk about Arthur and not making changes got me thinking, especially about our mental weakness

Who are the Team God botherers?

As Snake and others have alluded to, the religious persuasions of our players brings a softness to our team, but is it true?. I thought it worthy of a blog. This is not an anti or pro Snake blog.

Now this is not intended as a religious blog either, bu

Eels Fans - the Emotional Investment

The last 36 hours have been something of a rarity for me. I've actually found it difficult to put my thoughts into words. Sure, I've vented through text messages to a few mates. The family has had to listen to my yelling and my moaning. What sort of
