Drumph and Iran.

Thoughts? Did ol' Donnie Drumph go for the oldest panacea in the failing popularity playbook and start beating the drums of war to distract from impeachment?

Surely the U.S. won't actually go to war against someone who can actually give them a militar

"Definitely use Kelly until Will is back. Far to early to be blooding cup players yet. Not sure if they should move Sean over to Bailey wing and slide Bailey to centre. Ado and Kelly might work as a pairing but ill leave it to Rylesy"

"I thought the ground announcer got the vibe pretty well. And he was full of passion. It didn't come off like a TV journo or MC simply chalking up a weekend gig."

"I don't like his chances up north, he needs a few more years developing before he leads a team like that. Maybe Anasta can see how that's playing out and pull the pin on that move. I see a good 7 in Pezet but it's down the road a bit yet "

"Definitely a much improved game day experience. The flags handed out at the gates were a great touch and looked awesome when everyone was waving the pre game. The gound announcer seemed to play a larger role as well, without overdoing things, which…"

"You sound desperate to me LB, its about a discussion, contrary to what you think if you can't keep up, don't bother trying. IMO at the moment Pezet looks a lessor player than Keating, but hey go back to the start of the blog, read it and if you…"

"Walker firstly is more experienced and also came from one NRL team to another. He also isn't playing 80mins like French is.
French needs combinations with his edge, fullback, hooker and halfback. As well understanding the defence.
My case in point…"

"I'll pass the feedback on.
Regarding Enter Sandman. It is indeed inspired by Virginia Tech, although the song choice itself was from the players. There is also a timing thing regarding the start of the song. Basically its start is the signal for the…"

Jonah Pezet so far

Only 3 games into his eels career, plenty of ups and downs from Pezet but for the most part he seems a solid young half. His defence needs a lot of work but not sure moving to Brisbane and facing all of that pressure is going to help him. Looks like…

Game Day Experience

I know someone posted on here a while ago asking for feedback etc etc. I thought they did an excellent job yesterday and I'm so glad they dropped that god awful techno version of enter sandman. The atmosphere yesterday was really good. I love how…
