Pappa Pop's Corner: Some basic thoughts on the Chook's game

I think that we are very harsh in some of the judgements being made. I don't understand the negativity that comes through every week in the ingame running. How do people type that shit and say they are watching the game. Unless of course they have

Eels to contest grading of Kelma tackle.

Not sure about this one as the tackle did look pretty nasty. only thing I can think of is they'll use the tackle on lane as evidence for the grading as he landed pretty badly to. 

Next coach to get the boot ?

Looking at the ladder I'd say the following coaches under pressure:

AOB 

Des Hasler 

Benji 

I think AOB has had plenty of time at the Knights and is prob next on the chopping block. Des also struggling badly with the titans. 

Brown to Warriors Rumour No2

Taken from Talking Parra Podcast.

Received some news last night that Dylan Brown will not take on his player option to renew his contract after the 2025 season.

It’s is believe that Dylan is looking to sign for the Warriors from the 2026 season but may

Gutho called Wilson and was willing to give up fullback

Just saw an article from SMH that was saying Gutho called Wilson when eels where trying to sign him last season and offered to vacate fullback for him to sign with us. Wilson opted to stay with dogs out of loyalty but this story shows how good a club

Are Todd Payten and The bush coach trading places?

That's the rumour going around atm. There was talk from certain sections of the media that Payten and the Cows have not seen eye to eye for a while, and Carayannis mentioned that a Moses managed coach could come into the mix as Parramatta’s next coac

Kelma gets 4 weeks for throw.

Thought 4 weeks was a bit heavy looked similar to the manly tackle on lane that was only 1 week for hamoule. At least we have some backrowers who can slot in and maybe Doorey can get a run. JWH another fine 🤣 

Hopgood out for Origin.

Not picked for the QLD side have to wonder if he'll be able to play for us in round 17 or if this injury is a bit more serious then club is letting on. 

Mitch called back into Origin

Lussick Effect

Why is he on the bench , he provides absolutely nothing from dummy half . 

We were on top 18-16 then we decide to bring lussick on . In that time , we lose all momentum. We score 0 points , then roosters score and take over the game . 

It's the same ev

Brown to Warriors

Huge rumours circulating tonight, Dylan Brown has asked for a release to head to the Warriors.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 THE EELS BOARD ARE COMEDY GOLD

We need a coach who can attract new players!

I know a few players have come out supporting Barrett and good on them. Shows the team back each other.  But here's the problem, they're delusional. They know no better. Or maybe they feel their jobs are safe with Barrett. 
I really feel nothing will

R15 v Roosters, Barrett: This Game Is Massive For Us

In the 140th clash between these two, the Roosters, as the top attacking team at (29.7ppg) should have too much firepower for the Eels holding the third-worst defence (28.9ppg).

Both teams lost in their last starts and had all the opposition tries s

Ok , Seriously time to bring out broom,and not Just for the players.
