"A much better effort against the Bulldogs yep probably 50 - 10 instead of 52 - 10. Pathetic effort, pathetic leadership, pathetic coaching, pathetic recruitment equals loss of supporters eventually"
"i thought nanva tried hard so could score some points now i have calmed down. no idea, or the will power for anyone else though "
"Super, I thought 1EE banned politics but "the club did it" is every second comment. Boring and incoherent politicking"
"The thing that stands out to me each week is how we get steamrolled through the middle and we don't make any dominant tackles. This results in either quick ruck speed or getting a set restart for holding on too long. The whole team gets fatigued…"
"The fact Volkman is goal kicking is strongly indicating they're managing a Moses injury. I would not want to be a half behind the current Eels pack, nor a half trying to run an attack where backs are flat and edge backrowers are kinda confused"
"Im telling you the coach is not the issue. Swap Ryles and Hannay and the Eels still have the same result. It's the administration. The Titans roster isn't amazing but it's way better than ours. I know nothing about their juniors but I'd imagine…"
"brown at 17 and i would also pick this side!"
"I reckon he's persisiting with Volkman because Volkman can kick. With Moses' groin injury he can't do all the general play kicking and Volkman at least as a decent clearing kick on him."
"Captain, every first grader knows that there is always something knocking at the door of their position: father time, lower grader, incoming recruit, poor form. Thus what's happening accountability-wise to some club manager or football operations…"
"Except Kelma is often too slow to get off the deck and get set in defence. It's why I think Williams needs to be on an edge. Williams wins contact and his fitness is superior."
"i thought nanva was one of our better players and surely keeps a role? maybe cause he is not top 30 he by default is fuirst out. I would be putting kelly in nsw cup, offers nothign but brain explosions and keep nanva on wing with russell at centre.…"

"Ryles made culture and identity a huge focus on his pitch as to his vision for the Eels.

Stick with the lads,
Look I know it's tough to watch, especially with the effort that was put in against the titans but as a fan base need to stick solid behind the group of players we have left. Yes injuries have decimated the team but also the effort yesterday was…

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.
