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!

"I think 80 mins is pushing the limits for a young hooker. Riley can do it, but probaby shouldn't do it too often, especially the way he plays. He's got that Gutho energy that won't stop. I get the feeling he'd happily run himself into the ground if…"

"Keep both, eventually Ryles will figure out a way to get both on the field as the game is transitioning to faster smaller lineups. It's always good having 2 9s who can start at a pinch "

"Good points Michael. Starling made sense as he is an attacking Hooker, yet the link to Jayden Brailey made no sense as he is what Smith is in terms of style."

"Yeah but can have a 2nd string Hooker who is content being in Cup who can come onto the bench to relieve Ryley."

"Same here, MW. Both give us more depth, firepower, and starting options.
Ryley is ahead, but TDS has wheels you can't coach, and an untapped floor and ceiling worth developing and being patient with."

"That decision is ultimately why Ryles gets paid the big bucks. You also have to manage workload. Sure, we could ask Ryley to play 80 every week, but that would likely lead to his impact dropping and becoming less valuable to us."

Two Hooker discussion

The Eels currently have somewhat of a good dilemma. Who is the future? Is it Ryley Smith or Tallyn Da Silva. Both very different style of Hookers with different paths to first grade. Da Silva was a prodigy from Western Suburbs, playing SG Ball to FG…
