Met the great man at his Gerringong Pub today for the first time. What a gentleman! Thanks for all the great memories over the years Mick.

"To be fair, a few of the bad calls were Klein getting direction from his touchies. They had a shocker."
"Though i agree Ryan Couchman deserves a few weeks, i also am one that is against the idea that some have had that you should miss as long as the player is out for, not saying that is what you are saying just saying in general.

"At times I recon they wish they still had Korisau. He would give them a point of difference in attack. JFH, Luai and Kikau massive losses too"
"How about that beautiful pass to the fox by Sean Russell as he was falling today. Playing inside the fox has improved his allround game immensely.

"He should get 416 weeks IMO.
Unfortunately JDB would slot back in. I also feel for Samrani. Anyone know how back is his ankle? He was just hitting that purple patch of form too. I guess it looks like Kelly to fill in for Samrani for a few weeks…"

"With the new 6 man bench rule, i don't think there are rules stipulating players cannot back-up from NSW Cup. Which baffles me that the RLPA were ok with that. But ideally, halves and backs are more likely to back-up. Joash at 7 would get through…"

Crap ref!"

"Some of his passes in the first half took 3-5 business days to get to it's target. When Pezet is most dangerous is ball on the run, taking the line on and short play to Kautoga before contact. That is his strength."
"Though if he provides us a good 20 to start and maybe 10 on the back end that can help. I understand in easing him in though we aren't expecting him to play big minutes either.
Unless just throw Moretti in there to take the hits early to not disrupt…"

"Don't worry about run over him. Just run straight past him. Massive pussy. Scared to even attempt some tackles. Not even laying a finger on ball runner at times."

"How come papalii can play cup then be on the dg bench, is that some new rule?"
"Yeah you have to admire them. Purely just skill is how they are so good. No ref favouritism or dud calls or easy draws. Just purely too good.
I fear all the other 16 clubs are making the numbers."

"Lodge is a loose cannon but, see him for NQ in first two games? Countless mistakes."
"I do not want to rush Tuivita though. He is only 21. Let him fully own the bench role for a dozen games at least before promoting him."

How do we shape our forward pack for the rest for 2026
3 games this year have all had one thing in common. Paramatta have started all games horribly as they have been rolled through the middle by the opposition with ease.This has resulted in JDB being dropped. However, JR said JDB still has an important…

Eels V Dragons 3-2-1
What a sea sawing game, with the referee really trying to influence the result. Some desperate digging deep in defence and working under fatigue coupled with some very very bad ball play by the Dragons has let us take the 2 points. So much more…

2 points is 2 points
It wasn't perfect and it sure wasn't pretty but these are the games you have to bank early in the season. There's plenty to work on, but that's a good thing when you aren't playing well and still win. The dragons have been tough to start 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.
