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!

"You put him on the wing like just about every other fullback coming into first grade and test his potential. Parra seem to get stuck on what position the junior plays rather than just getting them into the first grade team and trying them out. Look…"

"He's not a centre and what he dished up the other night should be enough to give any coach a moment of pause."

"I agree that keeping Twiddle wasn't a priority. It is optically poor to lose him right after a highlight reel debut but it is what it is.
A clarification LB, the main job of MON is to make the Eels football successful, not to appease the Head Coach.…"

"I know that if you were to lose any of those names you'd be upset EA, much like i am with Apa.
Have you noticed Harley Walker and Kade Moujalli in Flegg lately."

"I guess we already have Iongi and Moses leaving 6 as his only option and we have favoured others like Talataina over him.
Time will tell if we made the right decision..."

"Maybe Penrith are happy with their 1&7 and have sufficient back-ups. Can't explain how it's taken any other club this long to value Apa other than Mals mob. Maybe some clubs have similar R&R departments as us, slow to act."

"Everyone's path is blocked until it isn't.
Talagi left because his path was blocked... And then it wasn't.
We have to field a first grade team with depth, so everyone is going to have a path blocked. We can't keep using this as an excuse to lose…"

"I'm dumbfounded our R&R hasn't identified his all round talent. Mystified as well. That leads to unders in any offer and they'll regret it one day. I think, as our most knowlegable expert on our juniors EA, you are wrong for once in your assessment…"

"Who says he had to be our 3rd place FB? We've waited years for him to debut and punted him straight after. What was literally the point? "

"They obviously don't want him hence the offer. Is that a good call? Who knows. But it's not as if we're brimming with rep quality outside backs at our club. "

"Should we go for Josh Curran as a centre instead? We might get him for 350k. He's very good and we save money. We have two NRL centre spots we need to fill with high quality NRL level players. If not Russell, who? "

"I can see Twiddle being a 6 but definitely not a 7. I can see him being a good FG but again, how do you expect us to convince him to stay?"

LB replied to Muttman's discussion Apa Twidle signs with the Bears
"Question, why has it taken til now, where he is 22 and scored a double on debut for clubs to want him? I know clubs would have spruked interest beforehand but he is going to Perth who have struggled forming a squad.
Like I reckon he is a talent and…"

EA replied to Muttman's discussion Apa Twidle signs with the Bears
""Stay at the Eels on less money to be our 3rd back up fullback. Why would you join a club offering you more money where your path to FG is more open?"
Pretty convincing sell?"
