Up until Round 5 2012, Willie Tonga had never won a match in the Blue and Gold.

Hayne Out For 4 Weeks
Jarryd Hayne has been ruled out for up to 4 weeks due to a tear in his ankle ligaments, suffered in Wednesday night's Origin decider. However, an early return has not been ruled out if his recovery progresses well.
I know we need Jarryd back but ankl

What is your official stance on the Justin Hodges try in the first-half, is it an obstruction?
In 2011 we added an important clause to the interpretations around obstruction plays.
The change was that: “If in the opinion of the referee or video refe

Was it just me or did anyone else notice how dirty QLD was playing tonight. Tate punched Gallen to start the brawl and then punched Bird when he was on the ground. When Farah got KOd Shillington dropped his knees into his back. There was quite a few

This hasn't been advertised a lot but there is an event called the Captain's Call when Cayless provides pre-match analysis and his view of the game. If anyone else knows about it can you just confirm that it starts 2hrs before kickoff in the auditori

The selection criteria is simple. Any sports star from any where in the world from any era.
Jonah Lomu would be first picked in my team.
Muhammad Ali, a supreme sportsmen, light on his feet and you'd want to be on his side during a brawl.

The Pirtek Parramatta Eels have notched their third win of the season in exciting style over fellow cellar dwellers the Penrith Panthers. A super-human effort from Nathan Hindmarsh led the charge for the underperforming Eels.
There was a feeling in
I've Given Up On The Coach, Not The Team
I've lost all faith in Kearney's ability as a coach. He just doesn't seem to understand the game at all. His bench rotations are mystifying as are his game plans. It's like he expects everyhting to fall his way. I have to laugh when people say Kearne

How much do we miss Robson?
I was just thinking that with our team struggling, Robson would be welcome in this team. Apparently he is playing the best football of his career at Cronulla. He always impressed me at Parramatta as someone who could steady the ship when it was in ro
Read more…The Passion's Gone
The great passion that once embodied the Blue and Golds has disappeared. The only men trying to keep it are Burt, Hindmarsh, Hayne and Mannah. I've never seen us play so bad, so consistently. Passion is what Parramatta use to be about. Evidently, not
Read more…1 Step Forward, 2 Steps Back
That's been the case this season for Parramatta. Unable to be consistent. After a couple of positive games the Eels went back to their old ways against the Rabbitohs. It seemed as if the Parra season had taken an upwards turn when they beat the highl

Superlatives are yet to be invented to describe the career and professionalism of Luke Burt. It was a bright career that started at what is now known as ANZ Stadium, in front of over 100,000 fans in 1999. It may finish there. Burt has been a mainstay
Read more…Shackleton Gone
I don't know what Shack has done but Kearney does not want him at the club. With the signing of Darcy Lussick it appears as if the replacement has been signed. Shackleton has already approached SK for a release but it was refused for an unknown reaso

It's feeling like De Ja Vu from last year. NSW produced a spirited performance in Game 2 to beat a fast finishing QLD team. There are some changes needed if NSW are to triumph and Brisbane and take home the shield. I don't mean all team changes, some

I noticed we don't have one up yet and it's only hours to kick off. Let me start by saying I think NSW have a big chance at winning tonight. They got close in Game One and they'll be better for it. They have players that are gaining more Origin exper

While he's a few years away from his First Grade Debut Zac Clay has impressed NYC coach Steve Speechley. The 17 year old of New Zealand decent is expected to make his NYC debut this season. According to manager Wayne Beavis he is an extremely talente

I have it on solid authority that Andrew Johns has answered an SOS from Parramatta and has begun coaching the halves. I know he was there a few years ago but now he has 2 halves that he can actually work with. I'd still prefer Sterling though.
