Bryce Cartwright departs from Parramatta Eels

David Fifita to be named for titans.

will be a near full strength titans side v Parra this week, Tino most likely will rest but everyone else will be available. Will be a good test of our depth so let's see how it goes 

The Thornett brothers

Hi Eels fans,

I would really like to get hold of some film or video footage of either of the Thornett brothers, Ken and Dick.
playing for the Eels, N.S.W or Australia.
Do any of you have such footage or know where I could find such footage.

Thanks 

Bevan French, the one that got away?

Just been watching some ESL lately and Bevan has got to be my favourite player in that competition, he just lights it up. Still very fast, has developed a great kicking game, even his long kicking game is nice. With Dylan leaving next season and seem

Joash set for his starting debut

2. The opportunity arises due to suspensions/injuries to key players Dylan Brown and Mitch Moses.
3. Dean Hawkin

Did we finally get our pathways in order?

Joash at 5/8 can go one of two ways,

Joash will either take to 5/8 like a fish to water and have a great game or he will get terriorised by titans backrowers and struggle in attack. For our sake I'm hoping he has a great game and puts his stamp on the 6 jersey 🙂

Refs lower team bias

Well, we have all thought for years that lower placed teams get the rough end of the referees penalty wand. At least Richo is now expressing these views openly. I would go further and suggest that the NRL have an agenda and need to keep certain teams

Cup observations

I have watched the last couple of weeks in cup and just have the following observations. Im only going to comment on people who haven't played nrl and have potential to.

The score is currently 16-10 at haltime against the Warriors, which is an awesome

Backline v Titans

1. Iongi 

2. Lomax 

3. Penisni 

4. Bailey 

5 .Ado 

6. Volkman

7. Hawkins

Other options include Joash at 6, D Walker or a crazy move would be Lomax into 6 and Sean Russell in backline. From what I've seen Volkman and Hawkins combination in cup has worked wel

Moses ACL

Was just listening to Zac Lomax being interviewed on NRL 360 and he stated that Mitch Moses injury is an ACL . If this is correct he could be out for the season depending on the extent if what Lomax said is accurate which sounded like it to me. Lomax

Poppas Corner: Delusions, Not Good Enough — While Errors Exposed Again

The reality is we were simply not good enough.

The Bulldogs smashed us in the forwards. They were relentless.

We did a remarkable job in line defence up to 20 minutes to go, but the writing was on the wall well before Galvin came on.

The Delusion

Wonder why no one likes Bulldogs fans
