I mentioned last week that I was going to trial a couple of new things for the last match and what follows is a new way to do the Player Ratings. As many of you who have been around here for a while know, we used to do player ratings after each match
Read more…Regardless of what you think of Stuart, Parramatta finally has the opportunity for a re-birth.
New board. New CEO. New coach.
Each one's future, tied to the other.
As you all know, I'm massive on accountability. I like the fact that our board now get
Read more…I've got a few ideas for a new blogs and features that I'm going to give a run next year and I thought I'd give a couple of them a go, for the last match of the year.
The first in Keyboard Coach. Suggest a gameplan for attacking the opposition and w
THE Territory's adopted NRL team Parramatta has spent the past two days visiting their new home away from home.
Eels officials joined Chief Minister Adam Giles and Sports Minister Matt Conlan for a tour of Anzac Oval in Alice Springs on Tuesday, whic
Read more…If there is a coach in the competition who has positioned himself as a "player's coach", it's Ricky Stuart. It has been a consistent refrain in his dialogue whenever he has talked about his plans for the club. Whenever fans have asked more of the pla

I have possibly not seen so much FUD flying around about our club in my entire time as a fan. Let me take a moment to distil it or for you, and give you what I believe is pretty good understanding of the situation as it stands.
Question: Is

Read more…God, it’s been a tough week for me. I’ve come to the realisation that our season is over and I need to move on until season 2014 kicks in again.
But what a glorious year, hey? Would it be too much of me to describe it as a fairy tale season?
At thi

The day after a defeat for their local side, fans consume more fatty foods such as pizza, c
It shouldn’t surprise that Ricky Stuart has retained the same team that defeated the Broncos. I’m a big fan of rewarding wins, with players keeping their spot - it’s the type of mentality that helps you build a winning culture. But that aside, I thin
Read more…I arrived about 20 minutes into the NYC game and one of our boys was getting taken off in the medicab. I'm pretty sure it was Kaysa because he scored the first try and I didn't see him playing the rest of the match?
Anyone know what happened or how h
Read more…Ricky Stuart mentioned this in his article, and I was going to concur but thought it deserved it's own blog. Matthew Keating was outstanding against the Tigers. He racked up close to 60 tackles, I thought his service was up-tempo and he was probing
Read more…Ricky Stuart took a very interesting forward rotation into our game against Manly.
We started with four props in the pack - with Mannah, Allgood, Lussick and Moimoi all in the run-on side.
During this period, Moimoi played effectively as a second row

I don't really want to start another Polynesian vs Anglo player debate. It turns into a shit fight because some pe

Bunch of the NRL boys will be going around in the main game, including Chris Sandow, and there's a bunch of things happening for the kids all through day.
Biggest drawcard will be me being

Snake sent me through both his membership and his membership card earlier this week.
I've received both and can verify that he is indeed a member.
Anyway,
