GET SOME OUTSIDE BACKS

Say it every week . You can't compete in this comp with such an inept backline .We can hang in for as long as we can until the dam breaks but there is NO quality in the backline aside from Fox .

Will Penisni is the worst player in the comp and Russell

Cup observations

Just a few observations from my perspective. It was a great win. Especially considering that our 2 starting wingers didn't finish the first half and Lorenzo didn't play the 2nd half.

Negatives

Penisini can't string back to back games together. 

Positive

Just can't catch a break with injuries

Ryley gone for a bit i suspect, season done, give the young blokes a go. They tried hard tonight, too many dumb penalties and errors, just lack the class to be competitive. Start planning for next year.

Hail the Visconti

Flegg beat the Tigers today 30-4. Partly due to a magnificent display from starting prop Zack Visconti which earned him Man of the Match. What a performance he gave. He started with a bandaged right thigh and limped at times, but you would have sworn

Jake Clifford?

He'd actually go well with Moses I reckon.Wha

Do Parramatta sign him - Luai to become a free agent 27 , then Chiefs 2028

Jerome Luai has a week to seal the deal at the Chief's, 2 million per season tax free. He'll take it . He'll become the richest player in the league by the length of tge straight.   D Brown would be earning 650 k after tax.

He'll become a free agent f

Centres

We without a doubt have the worst centre pairing in the comp . You can look through every other side - neither of our centres would get a start in any of them . It's an area we have neglected in both recruitment and development. We have a rep level h

Parra 2027 2028 2029

Our ceiling is prtty limited for these years

What can we really do next year?
Not much
Even with a full squad side
Even with Seal Russell leaving (a big big up)
Even with One signing

8th would be over performing for 2027.
Ryles will be either signed or show

Thirteeen Minutes

Trauma snowballing syndrome and the urge to blow things up isn’t just something buried in human DNA. It's now rebranded as “high standards". Forty Years can do that. Sometimes, all it takes is a few minutes.

But let’s park the emotion for a minute.

Game Day Blog R8 v Manly: Back-to-Back Or Back to Reality? (L33—18)

UPDATE: Review of the Game lost in 13 minutes.

Last week, the Parramatta Eels showed they can win with controlled rage and a plan.

This week, they’re up against it again. History says so. Form says so. The bookies say so. The venue says so. “Fozball

2.Junior paulo ain't first grade standard anymore,I've sa

Repeat Sets & Penalties

Is there actually anyone that records which team receives the most amount of repeat sets? I'd like to know which NRL side gets the most and which side gets the least.

I'd also wouldn't mind knowing which referees tends to award them the most and how m
