"Supereel mentioned he sees Smith as a Brandon Smith type off the bench."
"Smith's workrate is high though this year i have found he has had a few times of "what the hell was that?" where 2025 he rarely had that. Not sure if he is trying to upstage Da Silva by doing what he does?

"Well if Da Silva is to show it, it has to be this year as a decision on Smith needs to be made sooner rather than later."
"Ryley as the ball 13 is interesting. Wondering if it can work out and he can be Walker's replacement while also covering the 9. "
"I love him. That's a complete yes from me. He's worth the punt. "
"Da Silva reminds me a little of Benny Elias. Can be selfish and looking to turn the game upside down by himself, learning to get his passing and game organisational skills in focus, should be his first priority. Yes he has pace and can sniff a "…"

Timoko given the tap to explore options

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…

Charlie Guymer send off
I know we won, but the Jacob Liddle "strip" penalty at the 24:21 to go mark needs to be called out as a failure of the ref's knowledge of the rules.A penalty restart cannot legally occur until the referee has officially designated the mark. Yet, as…

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.
