This is killing me

Has anyone ever seen a game where a side's halfback touched the ball as little as Jeff Robson did tonight.

Robbo had NINE touches all night. Thurston had more touches than both Robson and Mortimer combined. Robbo kicked the ball three times.

Terrific game by Loko I thought tonight. I think he just secured his NRL position for the rest of his career.

Teamsheet: Hayne back for Cowboys

FULLBACK Jarryd Hayne returns to the Pirtek Eels side for this week’s Round 10 clash against North Queensland following a two-match suspension.

Coach Steve Kearney has made minimal changes to the side which went down at WIN Jubilee in Round 8, with

Analysis: Sandow signing is all win

Chris Sandow’s signing was essential for Parramatta to have any chance of making a rapid return to being premiership contenders, and I believe will turn out to be one of the Eel’s greatest recruitment decisions.

The reality is that in the NRL you ne

Offical Announcement: CHRIS SANDOW TO JOIN PIRTEK PARRAMATTA EELS ON FOUR YEAR DEAL

The Pirtek Parramatta Eels have signed boom halfback Chris Sandow to a four-year deal from 2012.

“I was really impressed with the direction the Eels are heading under Steve Kearney,” Sandow said.

“He is clear on where he wants to take the team an

What did Ozzy have to say?

I tuned in just as they thanked him, so missed the entire interview on One. 

Say anything of interest?

Another missed opportunity?

Back in February/March, Hull KR de-registered Michael Dobson because Willie Mason had issues with his Tongan visa and Dobson was injured for 8-10 weeks. So Dobson was de-registered so they could fit Mason into their international quota, and from what

"We are capable of coming out of this one," the experienced backrower told reporters on Tuesday.

"Finish up today, get the rest of the week off and then we'll face the Cowboys.

"I think we've got the

Couldn't help but mention...

...that KK was once again selected for City this year. You know that Eels junior so many people wrote off last year because he had the temerity to back himself...

How high would you go for Sandow?

Firstly, I'm not writing off Sandow yet. It really is inconceivable to me that we might miss out on him, given our cap position.

The question is how much are we prepared to pay?

It's worth keeping in mind that from what I've heard we had up to $7

No option but to take our medicine

I'm in constant disagreement with a lot of folk on here, about the style of football we play. I agree with it, if I was coaching the side, I'd be doing exactly the same thing that Kearney is doing in relation to our style of play. Simply because I do

Match Report: Eels hit for six by Soward

Hayne's omission from Australian team

I'm seriously disgusted Jarryd has been left out of the Australian side. This is the player who has been consistently the top outside back in the country at representative level for the previous two years. He has never had a poor game at representati

Some context

Remember the Melbourne match. Well, I'm going to say all the same things again because people have very short memories.

1. There is just a huge gulf between the Dragons and Storm and everyone else. Both of those sides are going to touch up any side

Spine tingling

1. Hopoate

6. Hayne

7. Sandow

That is potentially the best spine we've had since the eighties. And it's one that we can base a side around for many years to come and which I think would transform us into an immediate contender.

My view is we just

Hopoate fullback or centre?

Let's dream for a second and suggest we get Hopoate. Can I first say, if we do, then it will be an amazing piece of recruitment and I still hard to see it coming off, but let's work with the best case scenario.

Does Hopoate play fullback or centre?

Teamsheet: Eels unchanged for Dragons

PIRTEK Eels coach Stephen Kearney has stuck with the side that hung on for a last-minute victory against Gold Coast Titans last Sunday with the same 17 to take on premiers and co-competition leaders St George Illawarra at WIN Jubilee this Sunday.

SG Ball through, but Matts bundled out

Parramatta's SG Ball side has continued though to the semi-finals beating the Sydney Roosters 35 to 22, however Harold Matthews have been knocked out of the competition by the Bulldogs.

SG Ball led 18 to 12 at half-time, before running away with th

Eels must make most of golden opportunity

DANIEL MORTIMER believes the rumour mill linking almost any off-contract player with Parramatta is not disrupting the struggling Eels.

Tipped during the pre-season to be one of this year's premiership forces after the recruitment of coach Stephen Kea
