"Should we slot matterson on the wing for some experience against the storm"
"Great blog, Poppsy!
Smith indeed is some special and I can see him defo being a rep player.
TDS has speed to burn and will crucify lazy and slow ruck defence in the last 15-20 mins. He'll target tired forwards straight down the middle. I like JR's…"

"I don't understand why we went for such a long contract with TDS unless Ryles really wanted a 2 hooker rotation. With the 6 again and speed of the game I think a quick running dummy half is needed and that probably wasn't Ryley strongest area. At…"

"Storm smashed with injuries as well, broncos week 2 we would have lost anyway. Just glad he's back rd 3/4 lol "
"The Kelly signing is looking more like a master-stroke now with very little notice. - well done to Ryles, and Mark O’Neill. "
"As our backline isn't top class to begin with, losing Fox is disastrous.
At least if it was a forward we have plenty of semi quality backups."

The Eels currently have somewhat of a good dilemma. Who is the future? Is it Ryley Smith or Tallyn Da Silva. Both very different style of Hookers with different paths to first grade. Da Silva was a prodigy from Western Suburbs, playing SG Ball to FG…

Poppa's Corner: A Very Special Young Man Who Just Happens to Be a Parramatta Player
In our well-justified praise of Ryley Smith, there is a big thing being missed: his ability to read the game and footy IQ. He is a couple of plays ahead and anticipating every move both in defence, primarily at present, but also in setting up the…

I haven't seen anything official, and even if he does resign, he's not doing it out of any sense of loyalty, he's doing it because it is the best thing for him, as he should.
Sometimes showing loyalty and having a sense of loyalty is the best thing for a person. Obviously not at the expense of commonsense and within reason.
Look, I'm not saying that a player being loyal to his club is wrong, I think its fantastic. It shows we are building a club that players want to be loyal to.
That is a good thing.
I just don't like people expecting players to be loyal.
"I just don't like people expecting players to be loyal."
Yes Brett --same could be said about people expecting players to go for the paycheque alone. Lots of variables to consider in what is the best fit for individual values. Some things money simply can,t buy.. For Moses in HOE,s blog he had no hesitation in saying the premiership trophy with Parra was his only goal.
Much easier decision to make when your playing for the club you supported as a kid. Not many players have that luxury.
Great to have him on board.
To be fair Gordo he had no other genuine option.
The Broncs was no real option, could have wrecked his career.
Hed have had to move everything and carry the weight of a club in termoil, would have fucked him.
He looks happy here and has a lot less pressure here, not worth a few hundred k to take a huge gamble like that.
He wasnt going anywhere.
What is this blog about?
What has Moses supposed to have done?
