Just found out some interesting news

I ran into my old high school mate on the weekend at the shops and turns out that his younger sister married the son of Brett Kenny.


He showed me pics and said he'd try to organise a meet-up for me and Brett.

  • Bert was my favourite player growing up. 
    My old man absolutely loved him and as he was involved in footy circles, I did get to meet him. 
    They say never meet your heroes and damn that is true a lot of the time but Bert was always gracious and giving of his time. 

    • I remember walking past him in Parra and he was in his sparky gear. I was maybe 9 and was in awe of the great man.

  • Where and when mate? I might just happen to be there. 

    • I'm not too sure but hopefully it'll be sometime this month.

  • Make sure to use a rubber, Bert's a stud.

  • man ParraPride ,,my absolute favourite Eels player ... nice one!.

    Should be an immortal I do rate him over Sterlo even though Peter got most of the individual awards

"I don't rate Bamblett at 6 at all!! Drives my head in that he is playing 6. He is an out an out fullback to me. He had good moments during the game, but it were plays you expect from a fullback "

Coryn Hughes replied to Muttman's discussion Ponga signs a 5 year extension with Knights
"I think it's a great extension for the Knights purely for the fact  that there is so little elite talent in the nrl and you'd rather have him than let him 1 leave the code or 2 play elsewhere.
All they need to fo us on now is finding a couple more…"

"Yup. He can be a 7 but when he's 26 or 27 not now."

Yehez replied to Parra-all-the-way's discussion Did eels dodge a bullet with Galvin?
"No. He would've played 6 here next to Moses. He wanted to lead a side in the 7 in Canterbury and catapult to a Premiership quickly when he's not ready.
With us it would have more chill and less under the limelight. 
He's still a great talent."

"Our juniors need to know that if they are good enough they will get the nod over incumbents. This gives them the drive to succeed here, and also puts incumbents on notice."

"In Flegg against manly last nite we won 52-6 and played as a team. Finally. No-one had a bad game and Kade Moujalli was rated the fans player of the match. Leluai, Talagi, Hudson and Petrus were next best but Cameron Bamblett, even at 6, is a…"

Prof. Daz commented on Hell On Eels's event R8 v Manly: Here We Go Again; Sunday Anzac Arvo at Brookie
"Manly under Seibold: 0-3, 60-98 (-38) vs Raiders, Knights, Chooks
Manly post-Seibold: 3-0, 118-42 (+76) vs Dolphins, Dragons, Cowboys.
Manly have doubled their points-for and halved their points-against post-Seibold. Obviously if the Eels wish to…"

Prof. Daz replied to Parra-all-the-way's discussion Did eels dodge a bullet with Galvin?
"Seems it is Galvin's role at Dogs that is the issue, not necessarily Galvin per se? Galvin permanently replaced Sexton at #7 for Dogs in Round 20 of 2025. After 19 rounds going into Round 20, Dogs were 3rd (12 wins, 4 losses, 3 byes; 366 (f) vs 270…"

"Thanks mate. The Manly team are shit to be fair. They are coming last in JF with no SG ball players in the team still.
Jordan Rankin has been doing a great job recently. He deserves a massive shout out."

Nitram replied to Parra-all-the-way's discussion Did eels dodge a bullet with Galvin?
"Yeah they won 70% of the twenty games prior to Galvin's arrival and only 50% in the twenty games since he arrived. It is all Gus' fault. He needs to admit he made a mistake. Everyone else is already thinking it so he needs to man up and admit it.…"

Poupou Escobar replied to Muttman's discussion Ponga signs a 5 year extension with Knights
"Yeah he's a very risky signing, and difficult to price. If he plays 20+ games he's worth $1.5M for sure, but in eight full seasons at the Knights, he's only played 20 games three times. It's only round 8 this year and he will have missed six games…"

Slippery. replied to Muttman's discussion Ponga signs a 5 year extension with Knights

 From the start of the 2024 season up until today the Knights have played 55 premiership games and Ponga has been involved in 31. That is only 56%. Surely this must be considered when putting a valuation on him. If he is worth $1,500,000 per…"

Jenkins to the Eels?

Some early Friday morning scuttlebutt on Facebook saying Eels have made an offer to sign Thomas Jenkins from the Panthers. I really have no idea if this is true or the validity behind the rumours, but this is a signing I can definitely get behind.…
