Reading some articles about Josh Schuster's wasted talent recently reminded me of Feleti Mateo. Similar size but Feleti had greater skills I reckon. It also made me think about our best ever naturally gifted 17. A couple of the players I named reache
Ok, it's bad we know. Let's move on. Though i will say, the big burning thing on the minds of majority of Eels fans is Brad Arthur and fairly enough. Has he done a good job this year? I mean not really, though the focus of our squad this year was sim
One positive for us is that most of our team are under contract for next season so should be able to have a good pre season and build combinations. My 17 for next season would be:
Ladies and Gentlemen, like all of you, I'm still too emotionally raw to dissect and analyse this season, our annus horribilis, or player performances. Yet I had to look for some positives in a small handful of players, for putting in more consistentl
Here we are lamenting about our outside backs and we had one all the time coming through our junior system -- Greg Marzhew (Lelisiou) waas ready to play 1st grade the year we lost Semi bat we let him go to the Titans and look at his impact now with t
So it seems yet again we lack both fire power and a good defensive read from our outside backs. For me it's not just our defence which at times is atrocious but our inability to get the team going forward with early hit ups.
The absolute shit stain on Brad Arthur's coaching career. No matter what individual we've put on the edge they've all had troubles jamming in and the bald peanut has not been able to fix it . George Jennings , Semi , Sivo , Ferguson , Waqa Blake ,
Dear B.A. I hope you read this. Thank you for the last 10 years. You've taken the team from a few wooden spoons to grand finalists last year. We had some terrible moments and some good ones. As a fan, the hardest thing to swallow is even after 10 years
I have been reading much of the emotional commentary on this site over the last few days. What we need to do is a full review to work out what has happened and why. We did this a few years back with the juniors and it is now beginning to bear fruit.
Watching how much intent the knights played with today and comparing it to what parra is dishing up this season, really shows why we didn't deserve finals footy at all. Knights will put a scare in some teams during finals
I'm not fan of the 6 again rule. It has made the game faster and more untertaining for the fans but it as made the game more physically demanding for the players resulting in more injuries generally, more serious injuries to players with players bein
Hi everyone! I'm new here eels tragic of course. Has been a rough season but basically everything went wrong including the draw lol. Keen for the 2024 season but I think we do need to sign some outside back depth!
Ok, just want to have a little fun to get mind off that pathetic display that BA seemed to love for some reason. Let's go through who we would like to takeover if and when BA is moved on whether in 2024, 2025, 2026, 2042 or 2067 when Jake is ready to
Going in line with the most recent, heart wrenching and informative blogs, I thought I would create this little gem to show just how much Mack is valued or undervalued on this site.
I love Mack's dry wit and knowledge of the game. He is one of my favo
"Brown was distracted this year and i wonder if he had his time again and given the offer later would he accept it? He more likely still would but seemed he was wondering about his decision. But Brown is coming into his peak as a half, usually mid…"
"How dylan goes next year depends whether or not the Knights can bolster their pack over the orf season.
If they do Brown will at six be teamed up with halfback Fletcher Sharpe and they would be a good combination, Sharpe is also a talent.
What…"
