St George Illawarra will be offered $600,000 in salary cap relief if star player Jack de Belin is stood down by the NRL this week while he fights sexual assault charges.

Storm said to be 600k over the Cap

Following on from BA discussion, a point about leadership

I am a B.A. fan. I think there is some hidden mongrel in there and there is no doubt about his love for the eels. At the end of the day, he is at the mercy of what the players do on the field, week in and week out. That's why culture and belief are s

Sivo out of rehab and back to full contact

Great news to hear that Sivo has dropped the orange vest and is back to destroying opponents. Apparently had a great first week, I think he'll destroy them in the Penrith trial and we'll see him in Round 1.

I'm looking forward to Fergo and him pummel

Curtain goes up - Wenty to play most curtain raisers and fans allowed on field

Parramatta fans will get a whole lot more than just the magnificent new facilities when the 30,000 seat Bankwest Stadium opens in April.

The Eels have made a commitment to staging curtain raisers for most home games in 2019, including feeder club Wen

Shane Flanagan 2020

As the title reads, I think this will be a make or a break year for both BA as well as Moses. And tbh I cant see either keeping their job, maybe Moses on a much smaller contract, maybe. I think the Eels should really entice Flanagan to be Head Coach
