All the talk of ref errors in media but nothing about parra game.

BA and the club didn't mention absolute howlers from the ref last week with a ball bouncing on the in touch goal line called a drop out and a defenders arm on parra player before he touched the ball for a knock on missed despite 5 replays for a capta

6 man bench

Rito boys and girls it's time to discuss again about the six man bench with player welfare top priority extra players on the bench can keep border line concussions and other injuries off .

Time for some common sense.

What I love about this forum is that common sense is about as common as a Tasmanian Tiger cocking the leg at the cenitaph on Anzac Day.

We have some loveable rogues on this forum, and we all come from different angles when it comes to what's best for

Great Read: Shines the light on BA's systems.

Most impressive and disappointing: Round 5 v Canberra.

Darkness, my friend, popped his rear head up in my vicinity after Easter Monday. But darkness knew what i did not, can only get worse from here. 41-8, that's it. Not much else to say. There is no excuse to have 41 points put on you. Moses and Cartwri

DAILY TELEGRAPH - NRL 2024: Ethan Sanders could save Parramatta season but will Brad Arthur pull the trigger?

From The Daily Telegraph.

Facing a horror run and at least the next six weeks without general Mitchell Moses, Parramatta’s season is slipping away. Brad Arthur has a highly rated halfback but will the coach pull the trigger?

Wouldn’t pay Lomax more then 650k

Being reported eels will offer 3 years around 650k per for Zach Lomax, also mentioned that some other teams might try join in the race but I wouldn't go much higher then 650k for him. Good player but he's not gonna turn the team around himself

Line speed around the ruck area was often slow and their perrrenial problem,
the backs not marking up. 

People can blame the "No Moses" fac

ARTHUR: EELS NEED TO OVERCOME A SOFT MINDSET

Following the Wednesday review, Arthur doubled down on what he said in the round four press conference, explaining what went wrong with the Eels against the Tigers. 

"We played a soft style of football" and "looked for soft options".

This all essenti

The answer is not with the coach or head of football..... Doesn't mean they stay

I understand the rhetoric after these last two losses, but everyone seems to be saying in hindsight that we should have seen this happening and the administration from Coach to Chairman should have known better……
Well prior to the Tigers game and say

Cooper Cronk

What about making a play for him as our next coach .....then again he is probably like sterlo has a plum media role why would I leave that to be stressed out.    Or even have him as a coaching consultant .....we need to change our game to suit the 6
