Eels Blogs

Backline defence

I don't have Fox sport or Kayo so I'm not able to watch them play on Saturdays.

I thought they played well agianst the Roosters and Broncos. They seemed to find that balance between going up
the middle and using their backs and there appeared to be a g

Use of the Sin Bin is very Grey!

I'm not ignoring the fact that the Eels performance tonight against the Bunnies was extremely poor. However, seriously the Bunnies were not that much better. In my opinion the marked difference which shows typically on the score sheet was the ref's m

A Unicorn Blog, we weren't that bad under the circumstances

Now I knew that heading would get your attention.

Firstly our coach lost us that game, not the players.

I can list out players that had poor games but it was who and where they were playing.

BA to start with is not guilty of nepotism.....he crucified hi

Weekly BA Blog

So I ask you guys again, where do we go from here with BA?

Many of us have been saying for years BA is a limited coach. Without being around the team set up we can only go off what our eyes have seen. I don't think it's fair to say he's a shit coach ,

Coaching options for 2022

On a somber night like tonight, why not have some fun and discuss if BA's is wanted so badly who do we replace him with.

Realistically, he won't be sacked unless we fall to another straight sets finals loss or drop out of top 4 and lose however I want

Nepotism and Dum Fk Fergo

WTF IS BA DOING!?!?!?! 

Jake Arthur cannot defend so save his life. Why is he playing him if we are trying to win the game. 

Then Fergo jams in all the time. Why the fuck is he doing that if Opacic is sliding. Get rid of that useless fuck. His time at

Final intensity

I think we have a massive issue with lifting for big games. Last week and this week was a perfect opportunity for ba to treat it like a semi and gets some wins under his belt. The intensity was not there from the beginning we didn't get over the half

Freaky Ferg

Poor Tom Opacic Got the job of defending between the coaches bog average school boy son and baldy . What an unenviable job.

At least Waqa won't be copping the heat this week and perhaps some of you can see what the real issue is. 

Deep down I was hoping to out do Penrith . I was that hopeful againnnnn

It's hard to take tonight , if we had a better defence  For refs new game ,our attack would be working , refs know it , but as a Parra tragic , how the hell do we stick this out? Guthos good but ? Moses game?Paulo's offload ? Sivo chant might not hap

From high hopes to back to normal .

Fuk our team now , we've gone from title hopes to giving up in two weeks , we won't do it it with Arthur and Moses now, another 5 yr wait untill a proper coach and  halfback and dedicated forwards full fkn stop.

Scrums

Why the fuck do we mark up 3 on 4 in scrums. They scored twice should of been 3. Am I missing something?

Long time listener first time caller

Hi guys

I've been a member of 1eyedeel for well over 5 years and read all the discussions religiously however have never felt the need to write a blog until now.

Not for one second do I think I am some coaching genius that has all the answers but every

Get riding him

Coach and his son has to go!! Coach has no answers after 7 years he needs to go

Nicho Hynes

Surely we can afford 400k a year for Hynes to play centre.

Jakob Arthur

We won't win a game he starts rest of the season . 

Hes 2 years off the pace and physically of 1st grade . He made the same poor defensive reads in Cup and has no chance of succeeding here.

I don't say this to bag him, picking him again is bad for his

Blake is playing

So apparently both Penisini and Makatoa are in playing reserve grade so super coach is backing Blake unbelievable!!!

Odd thing aswell for me is having both playing means if a concussion sub is needed you have someone who's just finished a game.

Souths will put 50 on us tonight

Help!!!

Switch Waqa and Opacic

In attack they both seem to be on their wrong side to me - so long term seems to be the correct move. Sivo was considered in need of a good experienced  defensive centre but the need seems to be more on the other side now. Short term you cannot have
