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.

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.

Dunster out of the Darwin match

The official scoop is that Dunster will be replaced by Simmonson. It may not be an official club release yet, but I'm putting them in the line as the inside scoop is that Dunster will not be playing.

SEMI IS ON THE MOVE

Bristol club, where Semi is playing now, has told Semi they need to shed a few players. Has any of our recruiters made an enquiry to see if he was interested in returning to Parra? He is on a million a year but if Sualli can get that then surely Semi

Would you trade one of our own?

So Wests are desperate for a Halfback, Doueihi out for the year, Brooks is rubbish, Wakeham not much better. They are now after Josh Schuster and Junior Amone, both five-eighths. I was thinking, it will not happen but if you were O'Neill or BA and we

Thoughts on Hayze Dunster?

Does the kid need more time?
I was initially happy for him to crack the starting line up but i have to say im a little dissapointed. 
Big challenge for him this week against in form Broncos wingers, hopefully he aims up and proves me wrong

Apparently Hodgson was out with the flu

Do we believe it? Considering our team looked better with Hands, I have supported Hodgson but no denying we looked better with Hands he gives us our best chance to win at this stage.

But do we believe that and he will be back next? Or just a cover up

Most impressive and disappointing: Round 7 v Canterbury

Back to back wins for the first time since last years semi and prelim final, a better performance yet a lucklustre one at best also. It is good that we can perform poorly and still come away with a win.

We had 53% possession but only 70% completions,
