It is not gossip per say but Ryan Girdler has mentioned that he think Wighton to Parramatta would instantly make us a threat. Well yeah, he is an Origin player, even better at Centre. Only issues are price and compensation. Let's say Wighton wants to
Grant Atkins - We saw his atrocious performance on Thursday night. I didn't think he could top that but then I watched Manly vs Newcastle (with Atkins in the bunker). He just overturned a completely legitimate try to Newcastle that was already awarde
I am all for the NRL doing what they can to protect players from concussion given the recent studies into the subject. However, the NRLs own rule changes have actually contributed to this issue. The NRL made these rule changes with the clear intent
Is there are specific rule against rolling mauls? At the 5:14 min mark the roosters prevent a dominate tackle by assisting their player and preventing parra dominance in the tackle at that point. It gave them the opportunity to push up and take advan
This is a slightly different tack to the same old questions, but at the same time, I think it identifies with Parra's need to be more visionary with our development squads and recruitment.
Last night I was at the annual presentation of a senior distr
In a major shakeup for the National Rugby League (NRL), it has been announced that Rugby star Roger Tuivasa-Sheck will be signing with the Parramatta Eels for the 2024 season. This news will send shockwaves through the Rugby community, as Tuivasa-Sh
Simonson suspension may be the best things for the eels from the game. Hopefully this mean no more him on the wing for the rest of the year. Backing Dunster to stay there
Ok, so I have been thinking of the current team and the selection and the BA influence that drives us nuts, I for one would like everyone's top 17 from the 1st 13 to the bench, rotation and minutes.
We have talked about the joke of the salary cap but this year it has really gotton out of hand. The Rorters have so many players available that they now have 2 reserve grade teams. Norths and Roosters are both Rorters reserves. How the hell is this a
I'm still dumbfounded with this decision by Atkins - you can either call it incompetent or blatant bias, take your pick, but it was not the call an NRL level referee should make. There is just no way it can be deemed a professional foul worthy of a s
Bailey gets 2 weeks with the early guilty plea and 3 weeks if he fights and loses. I think the club should fight this one. Whilst I am all for the safety of the ball carrier (no one wants to see anyone injured) this was not direct contact with the
I am as disappointed as the next guy about our position, 1-4. We all know that with a bit of luck and the footy gods favouring us, we could easily be 4-5. Not to be.
From the safety of my armchair, I can see the ongoing problems as clear as day. But
I actually don't want to have a BA bashing blog. But...if the last 20 minutes of our games show we have flash, we have finesse and we have "X factor" in our halves in particular. When the game is gone and the direction is "just attack" brown and Mose
Firstly, let me state, that I could not be more proud of the efforts of the team as a whole tonight. Massive effort. No team could win in the modern game with two sin bins and the set restarts and penalty count that at the very least stinks and re
I know he ain't a super star but get him going and motivated he can be a decent Prop, he is an Origin quality Prop. We are not getting what we need out of from our bench rotation. Greig was fine i guess but is nothing more than a 20min player off the
Gutho shows us week in and week out that hes got what it takes. If blokes like Simo, Waqa, Carty, Hodgson, Maka and farking Murchie🤢 showed half the heart of our skipper we would be at least 3/5. Sooooo much deadwood in the squad atm
"Without a doubt it's atkins, not because he is incompetent but because it seems he blatantly favours certain teams. I remember about 2 seasons ago in an eels game he sent every eels try to the bunker as no try and every try the other team scored…"
