A lot has been said about the individual contributions of a lot of players, but I think one guy that really hasn't received any kudos was Michael Jennings.
His stats are outstanding - 162 metres from 17 hitups. That was the most metreage of any outsi
Corey Norman described it as “winning ugly”, and Brad Arthur admitted in his presser that there was a lot to improve. Sentiment on 1Eyed Eel following the match was reservedly positive. And all that tells you just how far this Parramatta outfit has c
Taking a bit of inspiration's from Rider's comparison blog, but spinning it slightly differently, if you had to pick a single side from 1 to 17 using playing from both Manly and Parra what would you side be. This could be fun to do each week, actuall

At this stage, there are no surprises. Bevan French at th
Well guys, as we tick across to February and we have our first official outing every day, this is a post to say that "orf season" is officially over. As most of you would know, we relax the rules somewhat during the off-season, because the site is mo

The most common comment I get is "I thought this was a f
I've not had much to do with Oztag until recently. The whole concept of the tag seemed a little silly/juvenile, but my kid started playing recently, and I've been hugely surprised at how cool the game actually is.
Just passing this on, in case anyone is interested...

"There's definitely something there with Talagi there is.
Hes just like any new FGer trial by fire 🔥 when you make errors in FG they get punished.
Talagi actually reminds me of a fighter he has to get hit to wake him up as he doesn't seem to be ready…"
"People are delirious, the whole of the NRL community are pointing fingers at those above Arthur , people at other clubs on the frontline are saying our recruitment team and MON are not doing their jobs. Even our own players are hinting of issues…"
