Team list rd 17 VS Dragons

Griffin Neame off contract.

Coming off contract up at cows and is unhappy coming off the bench. NZ international and would start next to Junior nicely. Hope we have a look at him 

Ryley Smith upgrade

We should go after Zyon Maiuu from the dogs

He 21 prop and Dogs have to chip in for next 2 years

1. We need a prop or 2

Who is Matthew Hunter ?

Just saw his highlights from the cup game at 6, where are the eels finding these guys ? 😂

POPPA'S CORNER; Potential is something we need to qualify

FM made a good post about  that dreaded word "potential" ,

FM  it's true  we may have expectations that we keep describing as "potential" i.e. playing above their potential and us thinking they will go further.

Some of our forwards fit that mode I susp

Penisini 3 weeks Ryley 2 weeks.

Suspensions have hit so I'm thinking Samrani will cover Will spot till Bailey is back. Lussick at 9 and Joash will have to play the 9 role off bench for 20 min or so. Running low on players but hard to argue the suspensions. Silly tackles 

What type of forwards should the club be targeting ?

One of the issues the club definitely needs to look at is the lack of middle and edge forwards. Not sure what players Parra could target but I know Josh Papali has been told he won't be offered a contract for next season. Should parra target 1-2 olde

3, 2, 1

3 - Footy Dean

2- Iongi

1- Lomax, Kautoga, Paulo.

Don't think there are any poor games in this squad. Honorable mention to Jack Williams, just create momentum.

GAME DAY BLOG R16 vs TITANS: Gen Z in Charge

In The Joy Luck Club, written by Amy Tan (1989; see 1993 movie), an inter-generational tale is told about four Chinese immigrant mothers and their four daughters. The story is structured like the game mahjong: four parts each with four sections. Simi

Cobbo meets with dragons cowboys and third team not named.

Hoping the third team isn't us, don't think Cobbo adds much to us maybe at centre ? Can see him going dragons to play fullback  

Ryley smith and Penisini prob suspended.

Both not great looking tackles and last thing we need is less players. Only real bad part of this game but

Kotoni Staggs resign with the Broncos

I was really hoping he leave the Broncos and we got him

We really need Cobbo now we need a centre couple of forwards and 5/8

Next 3 games

Dragons

bye

panthers (origin week)

6 points doable....

Support Play

How many tries have we bombed this year from line breaks. What was Hawkins doing heading back inside off Iongi, then again not finding Talagi. FFS draw and pass.

How to access membership on phone

Hey, 

I normally use physical card but I lost them how do I access passes on my phone. 

Emu playing cup

Looks like there will be a late change. Guymer or lussick onto bench? 

Vision & a Plan time to execute.

Saw this with the Lakers and many of the issues they have are very similar to what Parra are dealing with.

Man U much the same until the above mentioned is executed and you have the best in place off the

Both Knights & Panthers Win

Seriously what are the odds 🤔 Both Panthers ( understrengthed side) beat the Warriors in NZ and then Knights beat Dolphins in Perth. Surely, the NRL really want the Eels for the spoon. After the rigged Origin game 10 penalties to 2 unheard of in most

Eels chasing Luke Garner

Panthers will let him leave a year early from contract.
