I have always thought that Junior Paulo is a starting prop. He's a big body, fit and skillful. He's also one of our highest paid players, an Origin player and international.
There is no doubt he is crucial to Parramatta's chances this year and going
In Moneyball, Oakland A's GM Billy Beane introduces the concept of using statistics to identify players who can "get on base" so they can make up for the loss of Giambi.
He gets push back from his scouts who like to use the "eye test". In a confront
The Wests Tigers have set their sights on bringing Mark O'Neill to the club to be the head of football. It would be a good signing for Wests as they need someone in that role badly, O'Neill is decent at it. Though for us, the change might be good, ju
BA has always focused his entire game plan on the forwards banging down the front door, I think our defensive deficiencies on our edges, spring directly from this.
I dont have an ear in the dressing room of course, but I believe When BA should be tel
Parramatta Eels coach Brad Arthur has apologised to fans, with the NRL side failing to make the finals this season and perhaps needing to recruit their way out of trouble for next year.
One more game to go in what we can say is a vastly disappointed season compared to the highs we acheived in 2022 & the promise some had for 2023. Have enjoyed being the "Team List Guy" on 1EE & will be back next year to do it all again. Heres to hopi
With all the news spewing out of south's and their drop off in form do you think anything is going on behind the scenes at parra or any division within the playing group and coaches ?
Jordan Rankin has announced his retirement. Been a great servant for our lower grades, will more likely move into a role into our pathways or maybe even coaching NSW cup. His future lies in coaching, think he is a great addition to our staff.
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
"Didn't Ryles have an additional clause in his contract relating to Bellamy? That is, if Bellamy signed on for another season, Ryles weas free to just walk?"
"When that's what's coming out of their pieholes you know they are flapping.
It's not even another fruit, it's like comparing Apples & Dildos
( I see that you have overcome your crippling Porn addiction Kurupt...good on you)"
"True, Ryles would have a get out clause and he would have been the one who applied for the Eels job, Parra didn't need to do sh!t with the Storm. He's trying to compare apples with oranges."
