"Yep, and the only way they are revealed is through whistleblowers, or dumb players running their mouth as in the case of James Maloney at Penrith a few years ago. Clubs without whistleblowers are internally united, which is the opposite of the den…"

"The Eels are locking in large bundles of juniors long-term with clear pathways to NRL contracts. They also started to use Dr Goldman's US-based assessment tools for juniors. Goldman has worked with the Warriors (think Stephen Curry), NFL teams & top…"
"I get your frustration, however this is not reality, teams have always gone after kids from various areas. First and foremost our club needs to work out who to retain and keep and then those to bring in. I for one am glad Ryles has done what he has…"
"Remember years ago, c. 2018-20, when the NRL used to publish "official" TPAs? One year, the Eels had more than the Roosters, who had something like 70K or whatever. Politis would've been chuckling. I was. It's telling the NRL don't even bother…"
"A soft cap would help level the playing field, and help us on the 'big name" recruitment side, even if it's impossible to ever have a truly level playing field and players look for many things besides money.

"Good blog, Bluey. Your concerns are fair. Where we differ is what “all in” means. I don’t think we are "all in" only on juniors. We are "all in" trying to improve across the whole footy spectrum.

"Bingo. I've been in media boxes and overheard well known journos saying they've made up news because they didn't have anything. Or the journos do no digging beyond asking the manager. And managers will say whatever they need to get their client a…"
"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.

"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."

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…

Reliance on Juniors as our Pathway to Glory vs Signing Talented 1st Graders
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…

I challenge you to watch it Daz, I dare you
"Self-righteousness is a terrible thing in a believer".
See, challenge accepted, Brett.
Here is my challenge, in return. When will all the religious bigots hear that message and stop denigrating others?
Who is denigrating who ?
Brett, only religious bigots don't know the answer to that question.
I'm assuming you are referring to me, I haven't denigrated anyone, certainly not based on whatever belief system they choose to believe in, but if you think so, then give me an example.
Just go and put your faith in the lord to keep you safe. Who needs Science, Medicine and Critical thought when you have power of the lord!
Science & Medicine are wonderful gifts from God, but my ultimate faith is in Him. And yes I have faith that He will, but even if He doesn't, I'll still stand in Him.
Serious question, in the ideological realm of Christian belief, where does this pandemic fit in? Sent by Lucifer? A punishment for our sins? All part of gods plan?
If it is in fact a serious question, the answer is that we live in a world corrupted by the sin of humanity. The Bible is clear that the wages of sin is death. The reason the world is in the collective chaos that it is in currently is through our collective disobedience to Him.
It's not God's will that that it is the case, just the opposite, but He's not going to force us to live in obedience to Him.
God doesn't see the world in terms of good vs bad or right vs wrong the way mankind does, he sees it through the prism of life & death. If we live in obedience to Him, it brings us life, if we don't, it brings us death, and by death I mean it in the holistic sense, not just the narrow idea of physical death. It means spiritual death, which ultimately leads to physical death.
Be assured God is not some cosmic wet blanket trying to stop us enjoying life or having fun, but he has put in place boundaries for us to live within, in the same way that as a father I do the same thing with my kids. I don't do it because I'm mean, but because I love them and I want the best for them. Sometimes they disobey me, and when that happens I have to discipline them.
God is no different, except that His Love is pure.
