What will be an acceptable result this week?

I anticipate getting beaten at home this week (even though I still hold some hope of winning) against the Storm. For whatever reason, the Storm are just too good this time of year for everyone. The fact they have never lost a Rnd 1 game under Bellemy

Article of interest about coach sacking.

I think we are all struggling with a team's performance and how it relates to being a coaching issue or a player issue. I have been all over the place with it out of expectation frustration. and wanting success. I came across this article which may g

Respecting the Opposition, its not just the players.

The coach in his presser pointed out we did not respect our opponents in the first half.

Brissyeel wrote a blog on some supporters going off half cocked!

I thought about this and the theme coming through the negative nellies that if we perform like tha

Eels vs Broncos 3, 2, 1

Great comeback but honestly not much has changed from last year. Clunky attack, frail on the edges, and an over-reliance on the power game. But you can't fault our resolve and we do look fit.

I Fixed The Away Jersey Monstrosity

Feel like pretty much anything will be better than that banana we wore last night....

The Power of Parra. That magical spell that's cast on you which make's you want more.

I read today that Tom Opacic, a kid who grew up in Redcliffe, QLD grew up as a Parra fan. It beggars the question. With so much failure since 1987, how on earth does Parra manage to gain so many fans? If you extract the periods of 76-86 and 98-09..th

Storm game

What's the current restrictions on the footy . do season ticket holes need to confirm if going to game like last year or all open again 

Big Papppppppaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

What a performance. he was the best player on the field by a mile.  Should be starting IMO.

Our buy of the year by a mile.

Reed Mahoney

How good was Reed last night? Looks like he's finally added more attacking aspect to his game, a lot of runs from dummy half last night with resulted in a try and a try assist. Man of the Match last night for me. Hope it progresses & continues all ye

R1 v Broncos: And So It Begins

Sir Alex Ferguson, arguably the most successful manager and coach of all time with 49 trophies in total, said: "Most people with my kind of track record don’t look to change. But I always felt I couldn’t afford not to change. We had to be successful—

Round 1 Review - Player/Team Analysis

Team Review: (6/10)

1. Clinton Gutherson (8/10)
   1. A bit clunky in attack but only round 1. Based on last year, his attack is something not to worry about.
   2. Good Captains Knock. Covered field position in the back very well and made a couple of good try savers.

Women on the board

let’s face it 

women get things done 

suit alterations 

kids parent teacher nights 

im over it and implore the women on our board to realise BRAD ARTHUR is not experienced enough to continue coaching 

I’m watching my mum in palliative care atm 

I refuse to

Some positives to think about

I thought Opacic was impressive to the expectation of being a very solid centre and also shows some class in positioning himself. his effort to get back off the Croft kick was outstanding, a match saving move.

Pappall was everything thats been said, I

Away Jersey

I hope we play better than we look because they are some of the worst jerseys ever seen on a football field .

Look like we're wearing bibs ! Even blue connecting the sleeves to the neck would help it . Terrible. 

Lane

His 1st half has been coming for 12 months.

Thought his game vs Souths in the final was bad but this is something else. Grow some balls you bald knob and hold people accountable.

See ya You suck

That’s all 

BA has to go
