"Thanks for watching the video, it is much appreciated."
"Bevs biggest issue when he was young and playing nrl was that he was too timid to try and explode through half a gap at risk of getting smashed because of his size. I definitely reckon he'd go alright back in the NRL now"
"Thanks, Steel.
Don't worry about cheap shots and knockers, mate.
Keep going. I've watched some of your videos.
You've put thought and research into it.
Thanks for sharing that, Steel."

"7s are worth any perceived risk. A good 7 can turn your whole team around instantaneously, we know better than anyone. I don't think Penrith would cover Cleary as well as they used to with all the quality players they've lost. Still a good side but…"
"You completely missed his point."
"I understand the price and Dragons going for him. Though he is a one year wonder. He will be 28 and had injury history. It is a gamble. However, St. George are in the position where they need to gamble."
"Apparently they were keen, but the $1mil price tag warned them off. "
"Trey Mooney was indeed a no-brainer"
"The bulldogs should of done everything to offload Burton for Metcalf. Sexton is no world beater but look how far backwards Canterbury have gone since replacing him with a rookie 5/8"
"Long term contracts are too risky with props. It's very rare to see a prop at the top of his game year after year. Parra were right to not go the extra year on this occasion. I don't disagree sometimes you have to pay a bit extra to get the deal…"
"Yes, good points PG....someone like French has become more of power player based on his speed that he always had and then his filling out. Nikorama falls into that category as well and I am sure there are a number of others some can think up."
"I think you miss the point Adam in that metrics is a result, its identifying the body types and bringing the ones through that are being seen as succesful in this new age. Thats more the point of what the blog is about."
"Yeah good point. It's Halfback tax. Half decent ones garner big money. If you don't have a Halfback a 7.5/10 one gets same as a 9/10 Halfback just by how important the position is. I beg Boyd nearly tripled his salary in his NZ extension basically…"
"There are poor decisions in there. The 2021 off-season was a clear disaster that has set us back slowley. But MON is one of many within the building working together making decisions for this club.
They are doing what they feel is best for the club…"

"Less than the dogs offered Thompson. "

The Parramatta Eels vs Melbourne Storm Rivalry
Ahead of the game this weekend I thought I would do a video on my Youtube channel about the rivalry between Parramatta and Melbourne. What started off as a grudge match has slowly turned into a bitter rivalry over the years and the Zac Lomax thing…

Speed, Power, Athlelicism.... Not Specifically Size......these are the key areas that are emerging under these rules that have been forced on teams.
We have a poster on here JC, who wrote some intriguing stuff about touch football techniques and the power and speed aspects of our forwards in the game and the effect that power running backs add to that equation. I thinks he explains a lot out of…

Metcalf Dragons bound.
Bulldogs have pulled out of the race for Metcalf and his asking price is around 1 million dollars. Dragons most likely spot but to get him immediately I wonder if this means they will allow Sua to join us early to free up cap space to get Metcalf…

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.
