"No, I bet Ryles wanted 4/4, but i'm sure he's had his schooner of reality and is planning for a winnable Tigers game this weekend to make it 3/5. I purposely didn't watch the game because I knew what to expect from a red-hot Panthers team, if you…"
"Great blog, Pops.
A lot of really good points here, and love the premise of your blog.
So much talk of the 2-2 start, and with this draw, that does look pretty good on the surface.
But, we didn’t fight our way to 2-2, we didn’t walk away…"

"Ah! Bobby they don't make em like us anymore (some people would say...thank god! ).
The more I think about why we don't attract playersis because we are too honest.
The whole world is made up these days with deals.....I just think we are naive!"

"This is now Joash's opportunity, just like it was last year. He didn't let anyone down and will do a great job. Probably won't be at Iongi's level, but I don't expect it to be much behind.
Hope we get to see some broken ankles from the opposition…"

"Finally some common sense. "
"I think it will be the same as last year. We will finish strong and figure out defence out. Between then we will get smacked a few times "

"There's also a lack of awareness about being 2 and 2 to start the year.
If we keep looking at that in isolation without looking any deeper, it looks great considering our draw.

"Apparently we're building and just need to be patient. It doesn't matter that other squads are brimming with rep players. The club said they're very happy with our roster as we once again miss out on another recruitment target. Is Hock still…"
"Lol the salary cap is completely broken at this point top players only circulate between the top teams and the rest either pay massive overs and ruin their roster or lose each week to clubs with far superior players, unless we hit gold with some…"

"i think Joash needs to be in the team every week. His passion is what is missing in this team. Its the little things that can make a big difference in my opinion. I sense when things go bad, we drop our heads very quickly

"If we Eels supports want to see another premership win the board need to put on their big boy pants & either make some serious changes on recruitment of players & coaches or simply fuck off.

SMH article has the eels roster valued at 14th in the competition just above the dragons and Titans. We are well behind the heavyweights in roster class. Ryles is doing a solid job with what he has available but R + R need to go shopping badly.…

This Isn’t a Bad Game — This Is Who We Are
I’m done pretending this is just a bad game. This is who we truly are — and it’s been the same story for years.Every season repeats the same cycle. We beat average teams, everyone says “we’re so close,” and then when it counts, we get exposed by the…

This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
There is a reason he is the first "Champion" of Parramatta. Played in all of our Grand Final wins. One of the all time greats and worthy of Immortal status. I laugh at anyone who knocks him as a goal kicker. He held the all time ARL/NRL point scoring record for years kicking leather balls from sand mounds. More importantly, a champion human being. Great photo Garry.
Also needs to be remembered he didn't start playing NSWRL until he was 26 so his total points scored could have been higher if he started earlier.
