"Bunnies have only won 50% of their games (byes drive them up the ladder). Cowboys are 2-2 post-Dearden. I don't disagree that the Eels' depth is problematic. At the start of the season I was in blogs asking what would happen if we lost some outside…"
"So once again showing immense levels of heart yesterday we lost. Oh well.
But Teacum Brown debuted and I noted that he looked to bust the line everytime he took up the ball. Then he made a line break which was gorgeous. Sam Tuavaiti in contrast…"

"LB, the only thing to add to your points is that Smith constantly pressure the opposition kicker and leads the kick chase. Eels have been way down on kick chase at least and far less pressure on kicker.

"Blue Eel, what are you talking about, "close to the bottom"? When I look at the ladder, the Eels are like two inches from the top of the ladder at most. Two inches ain't much at all! We are close to the top! It's all perspective. "
"Not seen this until here. But Kane Evans' brave revelation is astounding for at least one reason: Ian Roberts came out in 1994 after delaying a 1990 announcement. Roberts was with Many at the time, and left them in 1996 for a for a final stint with…"
"I just want to know why our defence is so bad. Is it because of our roster or is it the system in place and it's a coaching issue?
im pretty sure I read that it's the worst defensive start in our entire history "

"Mallee, playing 9 days from now after a hamstring issue 9 days ago is a totally different beast to Critta's shoulder. I bet > 50% of players play every round with some shoulder complaint. The shoulder is designed to be resilient, with lots of…"
"I think we stick with the bench we had yesterday, give them time to build their skills in those roles. Maybe Sam could even start? When we are so light on for troops, I think sam and teancum did enough to keep their spots. Tds and walker the other…"

"Some have said the Eels lack size in the pack so it is worth noting that the class of "big bopper" is basically 187cm+ AND 110kg and Tuivati, T Brown and Maetele all count as big boppers.

Remember Rodney Hogg

3 2 1 v dogs.
Just couple of shot outs from that game, 3. Kelma - thought he was our only player who actually bent the line a little. Strong hitups and just a good game. 2. Jack Williams - his usual good footy nothing I could complain about 3. Iongi or TDS. -…

Kane Evans
I'm sure by the time you guys wake up down under you might've seen the interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSktA9oLux4). Among other things, he comes out as gay. I remember his stint at the Warriors after he left us being calamitous. He was…

Cannot see why not, but unfortunately the battling line looks as fragile as poppa's hips!lol it appears it could be a tough summer
Nothing wrong with my hips Mickey. It what hangs off them thats a bit wobbly!
Please no pics pop's!lol Keep it PG.
In the absence of 'experts' in the field I'd think the batsmen at the top of the order need to book a bulk visit to a good shrink. The fog and uncertainty need to expelled so they can play once again assured. Only Travis, Marsh and Carey are currently mentally fit to play a role in the test team. India has a dynamic bowling group, but they're aided large by the meek effort of some of our batters.
Hope you're right Mick, I always look to our cricket team to take my mind away from the o'rf season. If there's no bounce back from them, my only back-up is the Thunder.
Yeah RJ, cricket is a great game takes our minds off footy for while but now its seems NRL is 365 day business - all it takes is a great knock or great partnership and it can turn a series
They need a talk from Steve Waugh. Learn what it takes for the mental disintegration of your opponents. To do that, you have to be completely switched on and focussed yourself.
The lack of red ball cricket has also not helped. Where is the Sheffield Shield? That's supposed to produce Test Cricketers, but all we have seen is T20 and a few one-dayers.
Team overall is getting too old and the current state of Shield cricket is uninspiring.
We are on the decline, unless a few unexpected youngsters jump out of the ground.
The bowlers tend to be pretty good game to game but the batters (ex Head) are basically flat track bullies.
Khawaja (38) should be pensioned off. Labuschagne (30) is hopelessly out of form. Smith (35) seems to be past it. Starc (34) is all over the shop innings to innings. Lyon (37) is not ever going to do a Warne and rip thru a team. Hazlewood (33) is good but he is no McGrath. Cummins (31) is inconsistent but generally good.
We miss Green but also need a genuine bowling all-rounder who can be our Flintoff, Pollock etc. I thought Cummins might turn into that but his batting is getting worse.
My opinion only and I am sure others will have different thoughts.
Have to agree with everything you've said Badger. Depressing but true. Also we can't continually bowl using the seam while the blokes from the Sub-Continent excell in that manner.
