1 on 1 strip rule

I really hate the rule as it is.  A number of times last night there were 3 in a tackle for 2 to drop off when 1 player clearly had hands on the ball and thought he was a chance of stealing it.   

If a defender touches the ball it is 6 again.  Defende

After a seemingly never-ending off season, rugby league returned to Bankwest Stadium for the first time in 2020. 

It was a pre-season that saw the Eels labelled top four certainties and premiership contenders much to the nervousness of the fan base.

Eels vs Bulldogs 3, 2, 1

Very stop-start and a ridiculous amount of penalties. Don't be too concerned by our clunky attack. It will get better; the Dogs played exactly how I thought they would - very physical and gritty. They would have frustrated a lot of teams tonight. Our

Good game for the start of the year. Yes alot of improvement still to happen. Brown was a no show,  same as pretty much all the back line in attack.

Eels declared 2020 champions after rest of season cancelled!!!

We did it!!!!!

Scrappy or just a really good defensive effort from both teams.

I'm not sure that game last night was as bad as some people think.

Sure the attack from both teams seemed a little lacklustre, but was this just because the defensive effort and structures were so good,

R1 V DOGS PREVIEW: SAME NIGHT, SAME VENUE, SAME FAVOURITE, SAME REFS, A NEW FIGHT.

And so it begins. Unsurprisingly, at Bankwest and following praise by many media critics on our 2020 credentials, we’re heavily favoured to win this one, $1.28 to $3.60 with Sportsbet.

NRL issues health and hygiene guidelines

NRL players will be told to limit interaction with fans at matches while community visits may also be cancelled as part of measures brought in to help prevent the spread of coronavirus, which has led the NBA to call off its season.

John Fonua and Ethan Parry gone?

Anyone know why these two are not listed in CC?

Both should be and Ethan Parry is not injured and has reportedly been looking elsewhere, which is reasonable considering he is now no longer next in line for wing or centre.
