"We shouldn't need to go to the Central Coast. But if Easts are using that area as their predominant development area, they should be relocated there. Same with Melbourne. It's a joke having a team planted in a geographical location where they don't…"
"While the focus is on juniors, as that is where you can offset the likes of the Roosters who poach talent, and close the gap from a salary cap perspective, we don't turn our nose up at recruiting externally where required.
Iongi a good example. We…"

"Melb are only seeing some locally produced come on now; we all know Melb is not RL; Easts the same and while frustrating they saw the Central Coast and pounced when others like us didn't."
"His yardage is his best trait. As long as he fix his error count and gets more invovled in yardage he will dramatically improve. His meters per carry is pretty good but he just doesn't do enough of it during games."
"Yep, it's been a disgrace for years. Manly pulling players out of Blacktown is laughable."
"Well remember when the Dolphins were coming in and Melbourne bitched and moaned about their main junior base of Redcliffe and Central Queensland would be taken over by the Dolphins? They leaned on Queensland heavily and still do today."
"Melbourne have zero players who are 'locally' developed. Easts have bugger all. There's the problem with your suggestion. "
"From players who live nowhere near their Eastern Suburbs area. It's a joke that teams like Easts, Melbourne etc. have to rely almost solely on development areas nowhere near where they are based.
If they have to develop in other areas, move the…"

"What if the NRL set up a system where players who are locally developed and make it to 1st grade, those players are exempt from the cap? That would force clubs to develop more from within rather than poach from other clubs. Just a thought."
"Get him to work with Justin Hodges and pick his brain about dummy half running.
If we're not buying any go forward for 26 our back 5 have to pull their finger out and make 700 metres collectively a game.
Get fitter , get faster , get stronger , get…"

"We must've told Matto that there was no training that day to keep him away from the survey. "
"I love that a few of our players have worked with speed coaches this off season. Just saw W Penisini working on his acceleration with the same bloke that has been working with Liam Martin. Williams, Simmo and Moretti worked with R Fabri too."
"Cheers Badger, it is fun seeing the youngsters go well in those teams. Now we need to convert them to Eels first graders."
"Yep Coryn, I think development reliant clubs that invest heavily in development need more protection from the NRL.I don't know what that protection looks like other then expanding on the $5000 poaching fee or 10% of the top 30 contract. At the end…"
"Your last sentence is an interesting one Kenny, that when i think about it, could ring true to a degree. Although some must have that capability with 60 Panthers Pathway juniors contracted to other NRL clubs right now. Thats a massive contribution…"
In recent times, it is becoming obvious that the power brokers at the Eels see our junior pathways, as our path to future glory and probably rightly so. We see new full time coaching staff / Eels scouts across the country and scholarships for…
ANY MORE SIGNINGS???
I've been frustrated recently about the work we have been doing in the open market. Jonah's alright for a year and JDB is solid but he's getting old. I feel we need more in the forwards and some a replacement outside back. All I have seen is links…

Don't buy into it.
The FB account is a bot/troll and the link to the "source" is full of BS articles
You can tell from AI picture it's fake. My mum does same seeing those stories. There was one in pre-season that said Ryles missed the Newcastle trial due to a kidney stone but was in the box 😂😂😂
If we don't get him for 2026, then I say fuck him. There will be better opportunities arising rather than putting our eggs in his basket for year after next. I still can't fathom how we've known Browns leaving for all this time and maybe won't manage to snag someone to fill his spot until 2027 😂. And will still be filling it with Melbournes backups , backup.
