"Daniel Wagon a middle?? He never played middle his entire career!
Anyway, my pick for this spot is David Solomona or Ice. "

"Rather Samrani! Does seem odd given the speculation of swapping him for old Barnett. Penisini can be really great at times and then really off at other times. Samrani has been very impressive and seems very strong and determined which is what Parra…"

"I really like Samrani but if JR decides to give him up for MB I think that is a massive mistake.
IMO Samrani should be 1st drop for either centre/ wing if one of our starters is out. Brian Kelly is bog average and not going to get better.

"So u boys reckon he was signed for depth? I was hoping we'd see him combine with Fox on the left, but Ryles knows more. Samrani has the jump on him? we have too sit and watch tomorrow night. Stressing "
"Yes going off those stats he's definitely picked up an injury "

"Penisini was not our problem last week. I know he makes a few dumb mistakes, but we have bigger problems than him. "
"Stats aren't everything, but:
Penisini V the Storm

"Well said, Coryn.
If those figures (850k/900k) are accurate, you’d think it’s for this season also - which is possible with the compassionate reasoning?
I doubt Samrani is really being offered but we are a far better team with Barnett than without…"

"Maybe Penisini has been traded to the warriors for Barnett lol"
"I think the situation says more about Samrani 's rise rather than what's happening with Penasini "
"Well done Samrani. About time Will was dropped. Horrendous defender, slow, can't pass."
"Not sure if he is dropped. More likely copped a knock. But if he is dropped, it shows Ryles doesn't give a you know what about feelings of playerrs."
Irony is Even Deader
I posted this earlier on Hoe's blog, which was poor placement."Isn't it Ironic, Don'tcha think?

1eE Modern day Eels team: Bench back-rower
We finally made it to the last spot in the 17. The bench back-rower.Dean Pay and Junior Paulo won out the bench middle spots. Narrowly beating Daniel Wagon (who i secretly hope gets the 17 spot as he is underrated to me).Once this is done i will do…

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.
