Is the Game getting to fast with all the changes?

Just wondering what others think. I know I'm only an old bloke but have watched the game grow and change so much over the years. But is it going to far?

The reasons is it the speed of the Athletes of today or the rule changes like the 6-agains and t

Did eels dodge a bullet with Galvin?

I will say he tried hard tonight, but is he the answer? Eels at less than half strength beat them, now broncos as well, who are missing plenty. Does this show how well the dogs are really going?

Jenkins to the Eels?

Some early Friday morning scuttlebutt on Facebook saying Eels have made an offer to sign Thomas Jenkins from the Panthers. I really have no idea if this is true or the validity behind the rumours, but this is a signing I can definitely get behind. Ho

Not saying they would fit under the cap, but there are so many players in team 1, who if the right reigns were pulled,  could still be

No Kemla* - Team list day v manly

This should be our team list vs Manly im hoping.  Williams and Guymer both did a great job against the Dogs.  We cannot go with Kelma Tuilagi back in the starting 13.  We looked much better with Moretti starting and Williams out wider.  Both Williams

The Unicorns Strike Back

If some of you people can check in your hipocracy after last week, it may be you will be able to see your own biases.

Have a read of what Pro Daz said  about scapegoats. You called it well Daz and it showed up how people change given circumstances and

Game Day Blog R7 v Dogs: The M*A*S*H Unit (UPSET W38-20 WOW)

We host our greatest and longest foe this afternoon. Can our brave 1986 premiership warriors inspire us?

"It's come without warning," Gus Gould told us earlier this week. 

He was not referring to our injury list that is around half our squad. A M*A*

Credit where credit due

I have been very critical of our team last week but to win despite all injuries against a top 4 team is impressive. Seen we have DNA that something to proud of.

Sean Russell ruled out. Can we forfeit?

That's 13 players out against team which steamrolled the Panthers. I am not going to watch.
