Ease up

I've been extremely liberal in terms of the moderation in here of late (primarily because I haven't had the time to be on here to be consistent) and some of you blokes are taking advantage of it well over and above what is acceptable. Ease up on the

Never change a winning side

Stephen Kearney has spoken a lot about culture, in terms of where he is headed. It's one of the reasons I've supported him, because I have long believed we needed to get tougher and far-more performance oriented in terms of the underlying culture.

I've had a seriously awesome day

Kicked off today with my middle son's Under 6 Wenty side winning their first game of the year, even though they played with only six players (two men down). My little bloke scored two tries as well, so doesn't get much better than that quite frankly.

Was Lasalo re-born tonight?

Outside of Justin Horo, the player who has most dissapointed me this year has been Taniela Lasalo. This was the year he had to step up from a big improving year last year to being a genuine danger on the edge. He just didn't do it.

He was highly imp

Hi guys, firstly apologies for my absence over the last week. Doing stupid work hours at the moment, and there's not a lot of time left for anything else else right now. I had a few mails in regards to moderation or lack thereof, and it's simply been

Interesting prop forward rotation

One of the interesting aspects of the Sharks game, was Kearney's prop forward rotation. 

We essentially played with five props. All four of our props were given shorter stints - none played for 40 minutes, with the fifth prop being Hindmarsh who shi

Hypothetical second-rower?

Given Nathan Hindmarsh is departing as well as likely Shane Shackleton, I find it hard to believe we won't pick up one or at least two second rowers and I feel very strongly we're missing a really top class, proven edge runner, and that's pretty appa

A cut too far

Stephen Kearney’s future doesn’t look bright. The club has called in the consultants. This is a course of action, often used within the business community, to give you an excuse to drop the axe. It’s especially useful because it lets you do so, and s

My thoughts on last night....

Let me just say that last night was probably a low point in my life.

Most of what I saw last night was just wrong. You wonder how can they not learn. How can this still be happening? And then you just try and block it out of your mind, and pretend t

So I've just seen the game...

So finally got to watch the game, and I guess I was expecting to see a much worse performance based on all your comments but I thought that was actually a commendable performance.

That was an altogether different defensive performance to what we saw

New Category: Signing Rumours

Given the discussion over the past couple of days about posting rumours and so forth, I have added a new category of blogs called Signing Rumours.

It's been suggested we have a single thread for rumours but I think this works better as it allows  yo

Match Blog: Eels vs Raiders

It was the same old story for Parramatta today. Patches of promising play but just too many defensive lapses as the Eels went down to the Raiders 40 to 34.

In the first 15 minutes, the Eels looked as sharp as they have all season - admittedly it's no
