Whats with D.Brown

Seriously what is the go with Dylan Brown. Given what we are paying on him, he should be stepping up icing some big match winning plays. 

He is so not putting 80mins in

Yes he defends well, awesome. But his primary role is attack not defense. 
He has ha

What needs to change?

Brad Arthur & Mark O'Neil. 

That's where the "rebuild" starts.

VLandy’s plans for cap relief for NRL clubs to raid rugby

Time for the Eels to bring home Semi Radradra!! 

Kayal Iro

This guy is absolutely killing it in NSW Cup and was player of the year last year. Plays centre, wing, fullback and only 23.

Contracted to Cronulla until 2024 but they've just extended Kennedy and Ramien & Talakai are both signed long term. In Cronull

Barry Humphries Passed Away

I wasn't aware that Barry Humphries Passed Away. Apparently on 22nd April at St. Vincents Hospital .

NSW cup

So we are down 24-0. Moretti been dropped to 18th man, Momoisea on the bench (for some reason), Asi moving to 6.

Well i mean Warriors are a great line-up but shows how well coached they are as an organisation. Considering their forward pack has only 7

SG and HM semi finals

Just letting everyone know that Facebook will be streaming the games. The sg ball starts at 5:30. For players who are interested in our future go ahead and tune in. The key players to look out for:

Will RCG injury prompt movement in the market

With RCG expected to miss some time, including Origin I and possibly II, will this prompt BA to look at the market in order to fill the void. Wiremu Greig has improved, he is looking good every week, but he is better off the bench for impact. We need

Eels into SG Ball GF

Eels defeated the Raiders 14-6 today to advance to the SG Ball GF. 
Well done boys!!

Next week line up + Talking point

How are we lining up next week with the potential ramifications from this week;

• Simmonson is out with category 1 concussion
• RCG will be out for a while. Seems like  severe groin injury.

• Blake I think is injured

R8 vs BRISBANE

Strap yourselves in 1EE'rs, this game is shaping as one for the ages, heading up to the Northern Territory, this game is considered a home game for us. Make no mistake though this will be one of the hardest home games we will play this year.

Hip Drop What a Joke?

Eels vs Broncos - Who Wins?

As much as I would like the Eels to win I honestly can't see them beating the Broncos for the following reasons: 1) Eels players were exhausted last week and now play in a short turnaround in extreme humidity. 2) Broncos have a fast younger, stronger

Haas Tackle

We didn't deserve to win, but to allow Haas to get away with that tackle given they had already sin binned 2 players is a dead set disgrace. As Toovey said there needs to be an investigation 

A friends experience getting off Statins

I thought I would share segments of an email I received from a good friend who met up with me and some friends when we caught up for a picnic lunch. A friend of ours noticed how she was walking when she went to the toilet and gave her some advice abo

Coaching and tactics.

Something Parra has missed the last few years is an assistant coach with footy nous and strong tactics who can recognise a teams weakness and attack it.  We don't seem to adjust game plans against different opposition or adjust when things are not wo

Sean Russell

Not sure who his junior coach was at the Rouse Hill Rhinos but I've seen enough of him in 2 weeks to know he deadset has no idea how to catch a ball. He seriously can't be the best outside back we've had come though the system outside Penisini.
