"Worst possible start to the season. I didn't think the first half was that bad and at 18-4 with some very dodgy calls thought if ryles gets into them at half time we could turn it around, thought it was much better than last year when it was 46-0 at…"

"'One thing about the Eels though, for a while now, when things don't go their way, they just turn to water.' - yep, this point was so disappointing tonight wasn't it, because after the way we finished 2025, honestly thought that soft underbelly was…"

"Andrew Webster said this early in the week, and he is right, that with the new TV deal coming up V'Landys wants the best players in the game and also a successful Melbourne to boost up their earnings.
Isn't that corruption? As to make sure Melbourne…"

"Also old. We got rid of our former old forwards and replaced them with new old forwards."

"We had Joash as the 18th man cover, Da Silva as a the Hooker rotation. I have no issues with them on the bench. At least last year they had an excuse of learning a new defence. What is is now with Moses in the team?"

"I reckon Ryles will put his hand up and say he didn't help the boys with the Interchange management today. Made us look much worse than we are. We will still make the 8.
DE BELIN stinks, he doesn't need to play and won't be extended on his club…"

"Don't worry Joel, we will look for another mid 30's middle forward to pair with the rest on the eve of getting a pension why we extend them again as your juniors aren't ready and probably wont be as they more likely aren't good enough. "

"Yeah, Hopgood 10 mins off and Simonsson 10 mins off. 
10 + 10 = 20.
80 - 20 = 60"

"Yep, i was so excited for tonight and all done. First time ever actually i turned it off with 15 to go. Even last year Round 1 we won the second half."

"I'll second that. I am also over that damn rining bell for 6 agains.I hate them.it influences the game too much."

"Yeah mate, you're right. The early six agains were a disgrace, completely took away any dominance that we had. That..and the inconsistent head contact rulings are ruining the game and making it harder to watch. For the past few years I've started…"

"Good stuff and observation  from NOS, some of this stuff needs to be put into a package and presented to the NRL executive with question marks.
i would also like to have the refs (field and bunker) interviewed under oath as to what or any…"

"Agree with all here, EA.
Not excusing the Eels for a lot, but as you said, the Storm are a different beast.
We can't underestimate how hard momentum is to claw back against a team like Melbourne, when they're allowed 2/3 more seconds in the ruck on…"

"lol at everyone that defends Kautoga & penisini clueless bunch of biased fans, we will get nowhere with the players we got, the club has too get the players Ryles wants over the line. not one player stood up to the occasion, get Doorey out his…"

"Agree on all EA. Storms forwards simple outmuscled us specially by Stefano, who was an Eels junior, but that's another story.
Countless 6 agains drained the guys tank and thus scrambling for defence and committing errors chasing the scoreboard.…"

"Bottom line is, we know what happened last year..how on earth did we make the same mistake again and not make this an arm wrestle.. all Melbourne do for the first three rounds every year is make sure they have a completion rate above 80%. Yes they…"
