"Let me add one thing too: I do not believe in "depth" signings. "Depth" should be your youth products.
You sign players for your top 17. Maybe now for you top 19 if you want a specialist like a backup half.
But all the rest of your backup/top 30…"

"Niukore is like a metaphor for potential issues in the preseason for the Eels. He always had some mongrel and hit hard. Often too high and got into suspension problems. Lost his starting spot at Warriors, back to bench, and in the Storm game it was…"

"Sad thing Randy is that Jason comes across to me as being very honest with his comments. Think it's real that they are only just commencing looking at the possibilities "over next week /next weeks". I am totally shocked by this"
"Niukore was very close to BA and his family (BA's wife looked after the kids so Marata could train, his wife was bedridden at the time).....why am I saying this, I can only guess but I think he sees himself being loyal to BA because of those…"

The injury ward
Given the raft of injuries across first grade I thought it best to collate it all together to see where we currently sit. Have sorted it into positions. 1. Iongi 2. Twidle 3. Russell (maybe back this week) 4. Samrani 5. Simonsson 6. Pezet 7. (Moses…

Who's responsible - 7 from or last 11 signings have been downright failures
7 from of the Eels last 11 fg standard signings have been nothing short of embarrassing. We're either signing over the hill players ( 29 - 30 you +), players with commitment issues, or players with zero upside unwanted by previous clubs Mitch…

LOL...another story with Freddie Truman and this time Australian Opener Bill Lawry on his first tour to England.
Lawry facing up against Truman who is playing for his beloved Yorkshire.
First 3 balls Truman coming of the back fence beat him all up, each time Bill Lawry said well bowled Mr Truman, showing all the respect of a youngster in his first game against the fast bowling legend.
4th Ball cleaned bowled.....Lawry says well bowled Mr Truman.....Truman reply's
"I laddie, shame I had to waste it on you!"
Here's one Poppa which may or not pass muster in our woke society. If thats the case I'll blame you for encouraging me! .Mark Waugh ws at 2nd slip when Kiwi Adam Parore came to the crease and promptly played and missed the 1st ball......Oh I remember you from a couple of years ago in Australia. You were shit then and you're f.....g useless now. Parore (turning around) said- "Yeah thats me, and when I was there you were going out with that old ugly cow. And now I hear you've married her, you dumb c..t"
Rod Marsh to Ian Botham: How's your wife and my kids
Botham to Marsh: The wife's fine, the kids are retarded
You're the winner A, thats the best yet!
LOL
Glenn McGrath to Eddo Brandes: Why are you so fat?
Eddo: Because every time I shag your wife she gives me a chocolate biscuit.
Mark Waugh to Jimmy Ormond: Look who it is, mate what are you doing here, surely you are not good enough to play for England.
Jimmy: That might be the case, but at least i am the best player in my family.
To this day that is the best sledge around.
Denis Lillee, Curtly Ambrose, Malcolm Marshall, Wasim Akram, Glenn McGrath.
Ooh ahh Glenn McGrath, is my favourite bowler I think. As Mick stated there are heaps of goooduns that were always great to watch. DK was awesome as were the others mentioned.
Did like Hoggy as well as Lenny Pascoe.
