Should there be an extended bench?

The more the season progresses and the more players coaches are forced to call upon, the more I've been thinking that the NRL should have permitted an extended bench for this season with a view to making it a permanent move.

There is always a discuss

Micheal Jennings up for grabs

The Game We Had To Have ?

Our Eels last night didnt deliver, and a lot of players are not what we thought. Was that the loss we had to have ?

We found out that Dylan is not a game manager and is still a kid.

We found out Gutho is human and cant carry the team all on his own for

PERSPECTIVE.

Perspective noun: a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something; a point of view.

Perspective is a most interesting situation - MY perspective v YOUR perspective will, in most instances be different.

I say we have a BUSH COACH who is too

Failure isn't fatal

The Parramatta Eels suffered their second loss of the season, going down to the Manly Sea Eagles at Brookvale oval 22-18 on Saturday night.

From early on the Eels didn't look like they were entirely there. Basic mistakes were common, hooker Reed Maho

3,2, 1 fir tonight

Reagan CG- 3 - machine

 M Jennings 2- dangerous all night with ball in hand

G Jennings 1- His carries were strong all night

How many points will we end up with?

Half way througn the season and we're sitting on 16 points. In my estimation, the top 2 teams will finish on 32+, teams 3 & 4 will finish on 28-30, and teams 5-8 will finish on 24-26.

I think we will finish on 30 points.

Thoughts?!?!? 

Davey's Emotional Debut

Here's a good story about Andrew Davey and his debut on the weekend:

https://www.nrl.com/news/2020/07/20/two-weeks-from-quitting-daveys-emotional-debut/

I thought he played well when he was on. Would not surprise me to see him in the 17 again this week

Maybe a reason for the Off Night From Reed

Now Reed was by no means the worst but he was off tonight.

Could it be that his disruptions from the last few weeks might of been a destruction.

Obviously finalising the contract but also having to give Evidence at a criminal trial can take your focus

Got the squad. Not the coach.

The only thing standing between a premiership with the current squad, and a making up the numbers every year with a pass mark "top 8 finish" is a coach who can not get the errors out of individuals & the team up for must win games.

8 years and still r

Cowboys putting Panthers under pressure

There's an upset brewing here

Panthers had tons of possession and tons of penalties in their own quarter yet have a try off a bomb and it's 4-4..... come on Cowboys 

Should this been a 8 point try?

Starting Taka over Niukore

Obviously we had a few out tonight but I cannot understand why we started with Taka on the edge over Niukore? I understand Niukore has developed into more of a middle forward but he does have game experience on an edge and is mobile enough to play 12

2019 - hello darkness my old friend.

That was the old version of us. Not good enough. 

Hopefully the one and only shit game we have. We're much better than that.

And fuck I hate DCE.

Good wake up call and great response from BA in the press conference.

Definitely rather be waking up after a win than a loss but there's a few things to keep in mind.

1. It's an unusually long run of games this year with no byes over the origin period. So with so much physical strain every club will have its low period.

George Jennings

I still remember when he had a combined 170 errors and tries allowed in 2018 and was given our back of the year.

Great to see him back in the team. Electric first half from him too.

Game Review

A pretty poor performance all round. Not sure that anyone o nthe field played to there usual standard. A few key observations:

1. With mosses out we are lacking a long kicking game. Whoever said jai field can kick is dreaming. We also lacked any organ

COULD STEFENO UTUIKAMONO back flip ?

If fluffy BA gives this unit some decent game time, Can we hope for or see a change of heart and contract.

There is speculation already doing the rounds.

MILO

Must apologise to Milo. I gave you some stick for saying Manly would win...you was right I was wrong.

I wish it were different result but you picked it.

Didnt see the game so I don't know how spot on you were, anyway Milo just wanted to accept my dues.

R10 v THE FREE-FALLING EAGLES; THEIR SEASON ON LIFE SUPPORT

"Yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s games,” marks legendary Babe Ruth , drawing a line in the sand.

And similarly, despite being first, we have another job to do tomorrow night. The nine earlier rounds don't count. We're up against a vulnerable,
