Early mail: Jakob Arthur closes in on NRL debut as a replacement for Dylan Brown

Brad and Jakob Arthur could be the NRL’s latest father-son coach and player combination as Parramatta hunt for a Dylan replacement.

Is Trent Robinson the Sookiest Coach?

I know there are some sooky, sulking NRL coaches around and Ricky Stuart in particular comes to mind but gee Trent Robinson isn't far behind. It seems everytime his 'untouchable' Royal Roosters get plucked he's having a sook to get the NRL Chief ref

Eels vs Roosters bunker official stood down

Graham Ansley has stood down the bunker official in the eels vs roosters game. They never specified the decisions which they got wrong because the match review committee still to do their processes. These are the errors by the bunker imo:

1. D Brown not

Sterlo’s commentary last night

The usually unbiased and very professional sterling was very pro roosters last night. Did anybody else notice this? The whole game he was all about "roosters being brave" and "roosters one try away from winning this". Made me sick.

im getting sick of

WHO REPLACES BROWN AND NUIKORE IF SUSPENDED

Who replace Brown and Nuikore if they are suspended.

I would put Jordan Rankin for Brown but BA may play Cartwright as No.6

For Nuikore I would put Dunster on the wing and Fergo in the centres. Odfield played well las week against Norths and also could

Parramatta fans inferiority complex

Every week we read blog after blog about

the officials are against us.

This commentator has a agenda against us.

Can we grow up and accept that some calls go against us just as much as it goes against the opposition.

For christ sake we had a player Knee

Eels vs Roosters 3, 2, 1

Good controlled win. Forwards were outstanding, and we're honing the power game well. But if the Roosters didn't implode with their errors and penalties, I seriously doubt we win. The Roosters should be more proud of their goal line defence than we o

Dylan “I need a few weeks in NSW Cup to deflate my massive ego” Brown

I think at any of the other top 4 sides, the astute & accountable coaches would send Dylbags down to reggies given his performances & contributions.

He is on very good coin but TBH i just don't see the value for money v the perceived hype.

Can tackle,

Jennings Money

I thought it would be interesting to hear what you blokes think we need in our team. What kind of player should target with Jennings salary? Would you be looking to add a back like Braidon Burns or should we target a foward?

Why we need to throw the Warriors Game

Beating the Roosters was a great win but a very costly one.

Paulo and Gillard played big minutes in a very intense and draining game.
Reed, Marata, N Brown and D Brown will be suspended and/or injured
Hipgrave & Dunster played such low minutes it was a

Cartwright

Our other bargain buy, Papalii has deservedly got a lot of praise and I hope they have upgraded him to a long term contract or do so soon.

But Cartwright seems to be under the radar. Maybe people want to make sure he can keep this up. But his capabili

Eels Crow after Slaying Roosters

Do you know how long I've been wanting to write that headline? It's my favourite headline and appeared on an advertisement on the Eels team poster from 1986.

That wasn't pretty and the Eels could pay dearly for that win with possible suspensions hang

Nickora and Dylan Brown Looking at Long Suspensions

Both players are faceing lenghy time on the sidelines..

Brown's cover tackle hit caused damage , thus being a parramatta player he'll cop a massive 4 to 6 weeks imo.

Nickora will probably get 3 weeks for the high shoulder charge , as he is a parramattt

Shaun Lane

How good was the bloke playing in the middle. Used his footwork to poke his head through. Good post -contact meters and quick play the balls. BA should stick with this role of Lane in the middle. No more edge time for him unless injuries happen. 

Did the Warriors ruin Dylan Brown

Dylan Brown had loads of potential that he has not developed. He is a tough kid that is happy to take the line on. But he never passes or kicks at the line. He seems to pass immediately or just run it. Defence have no hard decisions. He also had a ru

Is Addo-Carr the best winger the game has seen

I could not help but but cheer for Josh Addo-Carr last night, as much as I cannot stand the storm I could not help myself but jump up and clap when he scored his 5th and then I was on the edge of my seat willing the 6th and it happened, it was a grea

Late Change to Eels

Nathan Brown has been ruled out and Hipgrave comes onto the bench and Lane to the starting side.

R9 v Roosters: A Test Of Character

"There are teams that wait for you and teams that look for you", says Pep Guardiola one of the world's most respected football coaches. And the Eels are still waiting. Five long years to taste victory over the Tricolours. To end their worst run in 21

Melbourne destroying undermanned Rabbitohs

Melbourne have delivered a 1st half master class against the Bunnies, up 26-0 at the break.

The Fox with 4 tries.

Absolutely brilliant.
