"What Guru doesn't understand is that once the Court hands down a ruling that's it. Neither the NRL nor the Storm nor Lomax can walk over the Eels' legal rights. Everyone is then forced to adhere to the terms of the release. A fair exchange of value…"

"Petrus played the trials. Perhaps he is carrying a niggle and could be a late inclusion. 
I didnt rate Fanene in HM last year. I thought Nunn & Polley carried the forward pack. When Nunn got injured they had to move Noa too.
Pritchard could not…"

"LOL Melbourne 😆 🤣 😂 sad cunts, fake fans, always the bridesmaids."

"WOW..... no Petrus in 18.  He is a weapon. My thoughts he mght be under done and not ready for a round 1. Other suprises are Bloomfield at 5. Great finisher and if given decent ball both our wingers wlll create nightmares for the Wests team.  "

"My head is a bit confused by the team list lol. Not sure if there are injuries that I am unaware off. Perhaps some player have overtaken others in pre-season even though the trials suggested otherwise.
Petrus in the reserves?
Pritchard picked over…"

"And yet many in the media have gone with the "it sucks but it's the way it goes as he needs to be in the NRL" approach. Sucked in to them too. Rugby League Guru believes Melbourne have more leverage since the NRL want him in the game saying it sucks…"

"Bloomfield has plenty of talent. I agree. I think he will go union. Same with Risati. "

"We couldn't have asked for a better result when requesting those documents. I agree that Melbourne will now be a little more wary about going ahead any further. I love the way this is playing out, Parra just keep playing it smarter with Lomax and…"

"ONG is a starter IMO. Cruel we lost him from round 1 when he actually got most of the awards that day. He is bigger/stronger and fitter in 2026. Great engine, can play injured , well connected with Fletcher, Ryda etc, 
X factor is Cyrus Bloomfield.…"

"Stage is set for a cracking first game for the season."

"10 year ban I hear you say Vlandys???"

"Thanks PT.
I was wondering what happened to Ong last year. Its a real shame that an injury can end a junior seasons given how short the competition is. Happened with Sorovi too in round 1.
The forward pack is so stacked. I never thought I would say…"

"I was wondering how far the lawyers would dig into all the background and emails, hope they keep digging lol. Nrl usually covers all of this stuff up and dusts it under the rug "

"EA,
Once again , your excelled yourself with this pre season summary of this years SG BalL ( U/19 ) TEAM. This is now Coach Mitch LEWIS 3rd season as Sg Ball Coach. He is hard task master and like most coaches out there he is focussed on :

Best…"

"It now looks like the Eels may have to widen the scope of their Supreme court hearings and involve The Storms part owner Matt Tripp in proceedings and to have him testify to what they have done in attempting to disregard the Eels contract and sign…"
