"It's still Moses' team.
Look at that almost width of the field sweeping play when Pezet was at first receiver, Moses out wider at second picking up Iongi for a try.
It's probably the best we've looked with the ball all year.

"Pops,
What happened to the Frenchman?
We probably need to be realistic a bit when it comes to Pezet.
He is new to our systems after being in the Storm for years and we're building new combinations.
I agree with Michael Witt. He is probably 3–6 years…"

"Yep, you're right Mutts and Pops. Defence needs fixing.
It’s also probably no accident the worst defences at R3 — us, Roosters, Dragons, Titans— played the Panthers or Storm (except for the Titans).
Arthurisms? Mmm. Last year our middle defence was…"

"Daz and Coryn. It's a lovely theory, gentlemen. Sure, sprint coaching helps. But turning Pezet or Paulo into Usain Bolt? The eggs might start flying faster."
"Not necessarily Coryn. Contracts mean nothing. If we decide to keep Smith as the future 9, Da Silva then makes the choice to either see out his deal or ask for a release. Done, sorted.
Now, is Da Silva seen as the future? I would say his deal til…"

"I think there is a place for a 14 in the mold of a Wishart or a Tevaga even who can play Hooker but also other positions. Instead of strictly a hooker on the bench.

"If you watch him in lower grades for Penrith he was playing on an edge. He has shown to have some sort of running game. "
"Don't forget Ryley was upgraded to only a development contract it's not like he cost us much at all. We ought not take him for granted.
pretty clearly he is a player we ought not to let go to any longer... he clearly gives us his best and his best…"

"No chance if he hasn't got a running game.
Pass selection is also an attribute I haven't seen enough of it to suggest he'd be a 13.
I think he's a hooker throughand through."

"Saying it is disgusting is wrong words Macy, sorry feel that is a little over the top. Smith extended til 2027, i think that is fair. Also, who is to say he wanted a long term deal? Maybe he was happy with a deal til 2027 then have a look what's…"

Game Day Blog R4 vs Panthers: Disrupt the Disruptors?

Gus: Eels Showed "Real Grit"
Curled up in the foetal position, the noise is getting louder from some of our punters. Drop Pezet. Move him on. He’s been labelled “a mistake” by some, along with the usual tomatoes thrown at R&R, the team, and the front office. But not Talyn Da…

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.
