Social Blog Guidelines

So this is your area to discuss non-Football topics.

The goal is, for those who wish to have discussions beyond footbal, to provide a forum for you to do so, all-year long.

However, this area is being provided on the following principals.

The social blogs stick to our site guidelines and code of conduct.

All blogs should respect the fact that Parramatta and 1Eyed's community is large and diverse. Blogs that are divisive or disrespectful to any members of our community will be deleted.

Be aware that blog headlines are on the front page, so they should be written as such; ie not deliberately inflammatory or offensive.

This area will be moderated more liberally than the football blogs, but all the code of conduct rules replies. ie no abuse, offensive images, etc.

For those of you who enjoy going beyond footy, I hope you enjoy this new area of the site.

You need to be a member of 1Eyed Eel to add comments!

"Even signing like a very experienced cup Hooker who has a handful of NRL games. Someone who will just do a job if asked. Meni Luke unfortunately might not be that.

I mentioned this last year we have to prepare like we are playing Melbourne that's the aim.

"I'm not a fan of Doorey he is limited and doesn't offer much imo at nrl level.Cup he's fine but outside of that he's a spot player.Use sparingly and he's just a depth player for me.Playing 13 is a ball runner and that's about it from what I can see."

"One of the things I like looking for out of our middles is in defense without the ball for consecutive sets how much linespeed we lose and what sought of motor our big guys have.
I saw this as a weakness in Tuivaiti last year there were a couple of…"

"He will surpise you with his ball playing with other forwards. As I just said a quick short ball at the line while looking to play out the back. He did it very well a few times in NSW Cup last yer,"

"Ha! I sincerely hope that switching Hopgood between prop and hooker is not the back up plan!
We had Lussick and Hands in 2024 so having Smith and Da Silva now maybe feels like we have more depth, but we don't, just better quality players. It was a…"

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…
