Matthew Johns shows his class.

Matt wrote an acorticle this morning in the Telegraph titled "A PUNCHY NSW REPLY."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   He covered Madge's dig at Slater and then went on to surprise with his insight of the coming duel between the centres in the upcoming origin. Have a look.

  • Sorry guys just had a visit from an electrician to do a replacement wall socket so the power had to be stopped for 10 minutes. The appeal of the story was not just Johns knowledge of the intricasies of the match-ups but the picturres he painted in your mind of the skirmishes to come. Matt has just elevated himself to a higher level in my mind.

  • Definitely a classy guy, always brings wipes to a GB.

"Pezet was terrible in defense against the Storm and ineffective with the ball, though we can't expect much playing half in a side going backwards. 
We should not be seeing Pezet talking up his next gig, as that will just turn fans against him…"

"To have someone with 190 games expierence as a depth signing if someone gets injured is pretty good to me. Kelly isn't a starter, he might not even be 1st man up after an injury, but he is good to have in a squad. Not complaining."

"I give him 2 more weeks before I cast judgment. For a 1 year signing, he better hit the ground running. Storm and Brisbane away is a big ask, but if he's shit vs the Dragons, goodbye."

"It gives the club time to blood a young 6. Without Pezet the heat would be on Joash from day 1. Obviously Ryles didn't like that idea and wanted someone else to take the heat."

"I really like Samrani but if JR decides to give him up for MB I think that is a massive mistake. 
IMO Samrani should be 1st drop for either centre/ wing if one of our starters is out. Brian Kelly is bog average and not going to get better.

1eE Modern day Eels team: Bench back-rower

We finally made it to the last spot in the 17. The bench back-rower.Dean Pay and Junior Paulo won out the bench middle spots. Narrowly beating Daniel Wagon (who i secretly hope gets the 17 spot as he is underrated to me).Once this is done i will do…
