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.

"Fair call on Fletcher - I just worry that Ryles isn't going to have the political capital to last through 2 more years of rebuild before we get the two most influential positions in the team (the halves).
I hope we hold the line with Ryles and can…"

"Good questions, Coryn.
You feel its first contact first & foremost?
The thing for me is at the end of 2025, we were great defensively as the Eels seemed to be 100% cohesive.
So what has changed? 
- We haven't handled the change to ruck speed as well…"

"The question is why are some teams a hell of alot better defending the ruck than what we are.
Part of it undoubtedly is talent but there's technique coaching and other mentionables.Some teams have been good at defending the ruck for years and yet…"

"I'm still a fan of the Pezet signing but I would prefer he was there just as a back up 7 for Mitch not as a 6. With Joash now getting some time at 1 its a great opportunity to offer Apa or Lorenzo a few games at 6 to see how it goes. Theres way more…"

"Get where you are coming from for sure, and I know it's a cop-out, but honestly its how this game plays out - especially how we start - that is more important than the result for me.
There's been a lot of justification of our defence due to…"

"Nailed it with ‘over-compensating’ Alfred, although Kelma was poor defensively last week, he had to cover Moses’ man more than once as Mitch was pushed off (Papalli targeted him).
Kutouga has had a lot of work to do due to Pezet, and it's not just…"

"Pork Rind how fast is he Porky, have you seen him make a break and get into the clear? I actually haven't and I am a supporter of his and while you are thinking about that i have never seen him rag dolled either?
He is nippy and elusive, he catches…"

"Partial rebuild is more a reboot. Using what you have and just upgrading around them with either juniors or diamond in the roughs or upgrading other areas quickly.
We are not rebooting. But the type of rebuild you are suggesting we are sort of doing…"

"I was at that game as well, nothing better than sitting amongst a heap of broncos fans in your eels gear and leaving with a win. Catching the train afterwards isn't much fun "

"Agree totally - rebuilds can either be partial or full.
If we're competitive (ie top 6) then a partial rebuild makes sense, trying to keep momentum whilst transitioning to the future. Not as transformational, but most clubs won't accept tanking…"

"I'm stating the obvious, but our defence is the biggest letdown this year. Even conceding 20 against Saints who are a rabble in attack is unacceptable. The tries we are conceding are way too soft and the majority are coming defending on our try line…"

"We were leading the storm to start the game and when they got over the top of us it was to a large extent our own ill discipline that led to fatigue. The broncos first try was Walsh when Tuilagi missed his assignment. Second was a grabber through…"

An idea

Wondering last night and what people thought, imo walker is most effective off the bench, can we start ryley at 13 and talyn at 9 with walker on the bench, then you bring in walker to lock, ryley to 9 and talyn to the bench for a break?
