"Agreed, LB.
The Eels made the GF in 2001, 2009 and 2022. Basically a great roster every decade! It's fair to want to shorten that, say every half decade. But this whole outbreak of monday morning quarterbacking club officials as if it's a linear,…"

"Koina will get promoted for sure. I expect him to play this week in one of the spots that is not named in the JF teamlist. Kotorac and Nunn a chance too for this week."
"HM players will have schoolboy commitments with rugby league or union, same with a couple of the SG ball players like Bloomfield. I think most SG ball players will move up to JF and train with them for the rest of the year even if they dont play a…"
"I think that was last year's stat's. Looks a lot bigger than last year. I can't recall him being that big!"
"Muttman, spot on with effort wins. Its not sustainable and you get found out. Talent and effort wins comps neither one on its own can win a comp. We need both and then so much more to go right."
"Bell is a gun. We need to resign D Walker for another 2 years so till the end of 2028. So 2029, Bell will be 20 years old. Good chance he will be pressing for the 14 spot to take Walker's spot. He can cover 9 well too."
"Daz,
Absolutely agree, & there is a real lack of evidence here.

"Longfin, what you say is mostly true, may I suggest they can all go Except for. Moses, Iongi,Addo Carr, Hopgood, Williams, Paulo " on reduced contract". An argument could be made for bench spots with Smith and Walker maybe.

"Right, so Perth sign Russell and Twidle and we are seen as idiots. But Perth not only have money but are offering more years too. Russell got 4 years and Twidle got 3. Now how can anyone in their right mind match that. Why aren't the top teams…"
"The only Centres that could comfortably garner $650k would be Crichton, Staggs and Herbie."
"IF....IF we retain Mr Tuivati.
Don't hold your breath with this mob Mace."
Don't hold your breath with this mob Mace."
"What if Russell wanted to test the market? We cannot force him to sign. Mutts you used to be really good on this site. Now you are just being insufferable."
"Chief, maybe just maybe Russell and his management saw that Perth are coming into the market and wanted to test the market? It goes both ways. Yes we want to sign a player but they need to want to sign as well. As soon as the deal of $650k comes up…"
"Did we let him walk or was it didn't want to match the money he had received. Tell me this now, would Russell receive $650k from any of the other 15 clubs in the market? The only Centre's who fit that value are Crichton, Farnworth and Staggs.
But it…"

"Poupou, can you explain how Dylan Brown in early 2025 was "off contract"?
Brown had a contract with the Eels until end of 2031, with I believe two player options. The first permitting him to leave at end of 2025 IF he notified the club by Round 10…"

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.
