"Though to be fair, how many of our players last year looked average before they worked out Ryles' defensive scheme. I have decided to give De Belin a bit more time to prove himself."
"If this is the Eels of old, they take this game lightly and just take it easy until they realise it is too late and Dragons are up. No need to start fast as St. George drifted off last week. "
"Despite their loss last week, I reckon the Dragons are going better than the Eels currently. This will be no easy game. We must meet them through the middle. If we try and play cute it could get ugly. "
"I'm with you chief in regards to de belins form, he is struggling with the pace of the game this season which is lightning quick.
How much longer ryles can keep morreti and guymer out?."

"Have you forgotten how bad hopgood was playing that 13 role last season, there is a reason he was moved to the prop role. He had multiple unforced errors in every game playing that role, he hasn't been the same since his back injury in 2024.

"I think Ryles will start de belin against his old club, but time is ticking an Debelin need to find form quickly. Needs to make good runs or he's out"
"Was thinking maybe doing best non Australian team. Give some international recognition."
"I don't think Xerri would improve our team. Keep our current backline (regardless of Sean leaving in 27) and wait till we can get the right buy. Meanwhile it seems like the cartel of bigger clubs have formed an alliance to only exchange gifted…"
"De Belin should not start. Hopgood should go 13.
Start Tuivaiti and bring Paulo only after."

"In the past we could count on 2 points when opposing Saints. It's no longer the case. What we saw in Saints two games so far is cause for us to be wary. They've toughened up and competing hard could be troublesome for us.

"I'm hoping for an Eels + 10 victory. There first home game this year. They should set the standard to make their homeground a fortress this year. They really need to win this match and make a statement. It would be extremely disappointing to have a…"
"Id also keep Tualagi as a starter. Took the opportunity given and excelled. He gets another chance for mine - not a definite lock in long term and must continue to give 7 or 8 out of 10 games. "
"Cheers LB.
I like supers one that resonates with me .
Best underrated 17.
It brings Burt in fullback contention, Takaraingi or Joel Reddy in the centres, Jeff robson halfback contention, Mick Vella , Tim Smith, Alvaro, Lane, Nathan Brown, Inu,…"

Ryles/Moses comments on Pezet
Did anyone else notice in the post-game press conference that whenever the journos brought up Pezet, both Ryles and Moses seemed pretty reluctant to lean into the praise?Their body language was interesting. The vibe was basically, “he’s still a work…

For those who continue to suck off BA, please see the below FACTS and please explain your unwaivering support of this coaching clown.
1. Sit 8th by a miracle 12pts -23 F/A
2. Worst defence in the comp -296 points.
3. We’ve won 6 lost 7 but let’s see who we’ve beaten and where they sit on the ladder.
Panthers 10pts, played them back into form a few weeks back, sitting in 14th currently.
Saints 10pts lost 5 on the trot, sitting in 13th
Dogs 6pts, running dead last 16th
Tigers 12pts, playing like bustards coming 10th
Sharks 16pts, decimated by injury when we played them round 4, sitting 6th currently.
Rabbits 20pts, decimated by injury and origin last week, sitting in 2nd currently.
Now in all honesty, looking at the above FACTS, how anyone can claim that we are going ok so far beggars belief. Only a complete nuffy with zero idea of rugby league could state otherwise. We’ve only beaten sides below us in the ladder or sides not able to field a competitive side and depleted because of injury/origin.
We are going like bustards and tbh, only a few more bad games away from sliding down the ladder to where we rightfully belong. BA will not turn the side around any time soon, I just can’t see it.
Combine that with our stats last year that were the worst in the clubs history, its just diabilical that this man still mas a job.
Theres zero accountability at the club, even after a bullshit review nothings changed.
Wheres all the unicorn dopes who argued what great results we'd have this year because of it?
The whole review finding came down to the conclusion that it was Corey Norman's fault we were running dead last.
Worst defence last year, worst defence this year.
Our form so far is like having fallen from the Sydney Harbour Bridge having avoiding being killed on impact, not been eaten by the sharks and not drowning we've found a bundle of $1000 to spend on booze, coke and hookers.
We won't stay there unless our defence improves. And could even win another spoon.
Because all 19 wooden spooners, from 2000, have all been in the bottom four defensive teams - and at the end of R13 we have the 2nd worst defence in the competition.
Our defence is now worse than last year (conceding 22.7ppg versus 21.7ppg) when we won the spoon.
In round 6 we were coming 5th and had conceded 97 points (16.2 ppg). The best start since 1986 with the 3rd best defence, and 2nd best attack. That's where you have to be to win a premiership. Since 2000, 15 out of last 19 grand finals were won by top 3 defences (14 of those are top 2), or the top 3 attacks with reasonable defence (Cowboys 2015, Tigers 2005, Penrith 2003, Knights 2001).
The wheels have fallen off. And we are now a long way off the pace.
It really ain't looking good going forward. WTF is wrong with this club. Year after year it's the same thing over & over. We change coaches, we change players, we even change the board but the same result. What the hell is in the drinking water in Parramatta. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
9 lives gone. Thank you Tigers
