How does this keep happening???

Mid game rant but how does south's keep doing this to us year in year out diffrent players same results.

I'm glad I gave up my season tickets so I dont have to sit and watch this shit

R22 v Souths: Freaky X-Files Friday

The Round 16 game against the Bunnies was an exercise in Groundhog Day projections. We all anticipated a 38+ point drubbing and the result was not far off at a 12-30 loss. Here we are six weeks later. In the intervening five rounds, both Eels and Bun

Will there be any new signings for season 2023?

We have so far added three new signings for 2023. Josh Hodgson, J'Maine Hopgood and Jirah Momoisea. Compared to who we are losing; Reed Mahoney to Canterbury, Oregon Kaufusi to Cronulla, Ray Stone to Redcliffe, Tom Opacic to Hull KR, Marata Niukore t

The loss we all saw coming

Well there you go. Are we really surprised we got flogged by souths again. I guess the most surprising thing was it wasn't actually their left side attack that destroyed us. For some reason our middles just couldn't match them tonight. The ref didn't

Typical Parra v Souths

Not surprising Cody and Damien turn up to play Parra but have been average last 6 weeks . Knock ons and penalties are killing us . Our middle is weak , Mahoney missing tackles , Arthur slow at shifting causing pen and waqa to push in leaning Johnston

Lachlan Ilias is out tonight v Parramatta

South Sydney Halfback Lachlan Ilias is out of tonight's clash with Parramatta, he is replaced by Dean Hawkins who is only playing his fourth game in the top grade.

Ilias has had a bit of an up and down season, though recent weeks has improved, though

Joseph Tapine- FREE TO NEGOTIATE WITH RIVALS AS OF 1 NOVEMBER

Wish list, yes please.  If we could afford this bloke our pack would be unstoppable.  He can play middle and egde and is a beast!  

Newton slams any Papali'i intention of terminating Tigers deal

Basically Clint Newton, head of RLPA, has said to Papali'i it is his responsibility to honour the deal he signed with the PA not helping him in breaking the deal. What he basically mentioned was he has a right to seek termination but does not mean it

NRL’s ‘massive turnaround’ with controversial agent back after lengthy ban

Controversial rugby league player manager Isaac Moses looks set to return to the NRL after a leaked email revealed he has been given the green light to return to the industry again.

Moses had been deregistered for 18 months after he was found to have

Just a Thought, Don't Laugh

Do you reckon the Panthers might throw tonight's game against the Storm? If Eels get into the top 4 they would be more of a threat to the premiership especially given the fact they've already beaten the Pathers twice this year. The Eels would be the

What's your biggest rip off story

I noticed today that the Commonwealth bank made an 11  billion $ profit over the last year. My wife heard of a story where a person went to borrow $500 for an emergency payment to a vet for an expense for her dog from one of those loan companies. My

Most impressive and disappointing: Round 21 v Manly

Beating Manly twice is better than Xmas, even better is more likely ruining their top 4 chances, poor ol' Daly "Giraffe/politician" Cherry-Evans and his insane salary that cripples the club along with their made of glass fullback who watches from the

How To Stop Backflips

I wrote thisin another blog.

Let's use Papa as the example.

So, he wants to stay at the Eels.

Let's assume the Tigers are willing to cancel his contract and Papa is free to sign elsewhere.

Parra offer 600k per year and Papa is happy with that.

No problem

Times like now....

Parramatta should have signed Benji Marshall this year.

Benji stated that he wanted to go around again in 2022 and with a price tag of 80K would have been a masterfully stroke by Nepodad. But then Brad would be taking away his son opportunity to play

Ivan Cleary's Bench

I've noticed that Ivan always carries Mitch Kenny (back up dummy and/or small middle forward) and a genuine back, sometimes a straight outside back. 

For example, when we played them last, he had Charlie  Staines on the bench. This week, in a huge mat
