In light of the signing of Watmough. When is the average age when back rowers retire? And what age do they peak. Hindmarsh peaked in his mid twenties and retired at 33.
David Gower has been an inspired signing this year. Thank you Brad. However, am I the only one here questioning the way that Gower was used. For mine, Gower is a real worker who does great defence around the ruck. So why did he get so little game tim
I pose this question to all us passionate Eels Supporters?
Over the years we have seen many a young and fairly inexperienced team start the season brilliantly.They make up for this inexperience through pure enthusiasm and the willingness to just have
Hi there first timer but have been watching site for a long time. Firstly bring willie on board our team needs leaders. He will bring so much for our forwards. Bit of a dope when first arrived at nrl but has matured at each club. We're going forward
As per title, have we really improved or is it Hayne finding form which has resulted in an improved season? I honestly believe if he didnt find form we would of won the wooden spoon for another year.
I think they were. They over achieved for the whole year and when it came to the crunch, they became discombobulated, no idea how they got there and even less idea of how to win those games.Hopefully next year, we will not make the same mistakes next
Now that our group of stalwart,under-achieving and underwhelming players have choked,which side will garner your support for the finals?For me it is Penrith,seeing as they our neighbours and South Sydney.Those poor bastards have been drinking unicorn
Well here we are again. 8 teams have made it. 8 more are booking their holidays.So 1eyedeels, what to do now? What are you going to do in your offseason? No doubt most of you will still frequent this site to stay in touch with the latest.But we will
Hi all, my band is playing at the Bull n Bush this Sat night. If you're in the area come on down and have a beer with The Ape (that's my hairy arm on the axe). We can bitch about Ryan Morgan all night and how things would be much better if we were in
I'm convinced the modern day parramatta player does not have pride in blue & gold jersey ! We had 2 chances against poor quality sides to qualify for the finals! It's a absolute disgrace , they can spin it and make excuses , it's pathetic , there was
He came, he said we wouldn't get the spoon and we didn't. We almost made the finals.
This bloke doesn't talk shit unlike our previous coach and has shown in a short amount of time what he can do with our talented young forwards coming thro
Righto is it my end and my shitty Telstra connected internet, or is PHIL plugging and unplugging the site and fekkin with us all? cause over the last few days I get a message saying can't connect as the server is lost?But I can still connect with any
Who's looking forward to the announcement of the Parramatta Eels line up come tomorrow afternoon? Will there be any shock changes to the team list? will BA make a statement? Will the players turn up?
Manly star Anthony Watmough has agreed to join Parramatta on a three-year deal from 2016 but could arrive earlier if granted a release from the Sea Eagles.
Watmough is contracted to the 2013 grand finalists for next season but is keen to get out as so
"Brisbane's play the ball speed was quicker, but later on we got control of the ruck, poking our nose through and getting on our elbows for quick play the balls, Brisbane were out on their feet. Tawha was having a tough time keeping up and Mam…"
"Reckon they give their players a few weeks to get fit enough to do their job in Penrith? Hell, everyone on this site would go into meltdown if we signed Leka, but Webster has him on the bench because of standards. Kautoga isn't a first grader, it…"
"Kautoga started the same last season, everyone wanted him out of the team. By the end of the year he was our most dangerous attacking weapon, and was hitting hard in defence. Give him time, he will come good."
"Irvine was a far better winger than Johnson. You could probably count on one hand how many tries Johnson created for himself, the majority were handed to him on a platter. Irvine could, and did, score a lot of long range tries with his speed and…"
