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?

"Great points as usual NOS. When you lose by 48 points that is on you. But also, the issues from the refs made us fatigue and weakened us. The Iongi HIA weakened us as it forced Ryles to put Joash on when in hindsight he didn't really need to, but we…"

"You definitely like to see teams earn their yards and wrestle points. Not just be marched up the field with 6 more every set. Needs to be a balance "

"And a number of those 6 agains awarded to the Eels were late in the game with no chance of impacting final result. Even questionable. But it makes the final count look a little more even. Happens all the time. Not just for Eels. "

"The NRL's obsession with high scoring games being more entertaining is a complete myth. Many of these such games are not good spectacles at all. Many of the most entertaining games in recent seasons are not the high scoring affairs at all. "

LB replied to Davos Seaworth's discussion Stephen Kearney vibes from Gomer Ryles.
"I am a big advocate for Brian Smith to have some sort of role within the club, even around the GM role. I wouldn't give him the GM role but maybe an advisor role or something like that. Get a new GM and have Smith with him."

"Definitely wouldn't be taking anything to the NRL, and 100% agree with Ryles not saying anything in the presser (outside the Hopgood sinbin) too.
When you lose 52-4 you lose the right to demand answers around officiating. Thats on the Eels.

Prof. Daz replied to EA's discussion Take Aways from the game
"What I take away from that game is that the Eels spent the entire off-season learning how to completely forget how to play a first grade standard of football, and the evidence is the Eels' diabolically bad second half.
