What’s the Deal with De Belin?

He was brought in as a key signing and used to play big minutes at the Dragons ...  I know that doesn't count for m

Drinking the pre season Kool-aid

We were drinking the Kool-Aid from day one of the pre-season. Big gulps.

Loko Pasifiki Tonga requests immediate release

Towards the end of the 2025 NRL season I think a majority of Eels fans had some form of optimism for 2026 hoping it might be a possible top 8 position for the Eels.

However, this year has turned into one of the worst so far on record with Eels defenc

Experiences meeting Sporting personalities

I have done similar blogs like this in the past but with new members on here and years past there could be new stories brought to the table. Also, with the doom and gloom of the club of late, i would like to turn the attention of discussion into some

Game Day Blog R6 v Titans: Call House (L52-10)

UPDATE: A 52-10 blowout loss. Jason Ryles pressor: "Last week, I saw fight. This week, I didn't"

Call Doctor House. The Eels have used the most players of any club. It will be at least 26 after this week. We face an injury toll from hell with a
