2025 built on the 2024 season and 1 Eyed Eel continues to grow. Numbers-wise w
Hard to compare but I think the right edge looked better with Samrani on the weekend.
There is no doubt Will has alot of talent but he looks like one of those players who would excel somewhere else since his debut he hasn't really been challenged for
Did anyone else notice in the post-game press conference that whenever the journos brought up Pezet, both Ryles and Moses seemed pretty reluctant to lean into the praise?
Their body language was interesting. The vibe was basically, “he’s still a work
I reckon if Semi, Haynes or Sivo had persisted in the NRL we might be talking about them breaking the NRL try scoring record. I think Semi and Hayne were close to 1 try per game average over 100 games? Thoughts?
Just a general question, not sure why a heap of fans wanted Ryles gone after Rd 1 ? He's shown last season that he's capable of turning the team around and is still trying to build the squad he wants lol. Was just weird to see fans bagging him 🤣

"He's a fullback, of course he'll leave.
He needs a lot of work defensively to be a center, which someone like Richie Penisini (who's younger than Apa) already is better at.
at 5/8 the defense will be an issue but we have Lorenzo, Fletcher, Risati,…"
"I don't think twiddle is a boom rookie. Got talent and is a class players at times but I can't see him landing a full time gig in the halves or fb for us "
"If he is not retained that'll be the nail in the coffin for any hope under this administration.
If not they've learnt and grown and that'd be exciting"
