I’m starting to wonder if fitness – or lack of – is a problem for the Parramatta Eels. In their last four games against the Manly Sea Eagles, the Dolphins, the Cowboys and the Raiders they have lost the second halves by a combined total of 104 to 33.

We’ve been critical of Parramatta players in the past for not engaging with fans after games. On Friday night at Brookvale, Joe Ofahengaue noticed two youngsters in Parramatta jerseys, an 11-year-old and five-year-old, obviously disappointed with the result. Joe walked over to the fence and gave the boys his footy boots. Lovely stuff.

Makes sense. I love Leichhardt but suburban grounds are dead. The AFL ditched them years ago.
Not a real comparison when you consider the concentration of the Melbourne AFL teams around Melbourne's central area and the fact that the non-Melbourne teams have 1 or 2 clubs per city/state only. Makes it easy for fans to get to MCG, Marvel and wherever else. Don't Geelong still play at Cardinia?

West Tigers need to focus on where they see their future growth of supporters coming from. They aren't coming from around Parramatta or Penrith and they aren't the Western Sydney Tigers. They were given South West Sydney as part of their merger and as probably the biggest growth area in housing in Sydney at the moment, they should be petitioning for an decent upgrade to Campbelltown Stadium and getting a decent 20k + stadium there within 3-5 years.

Just a bit of form analysis:

- the tigers haven’t won since beating parra
- since flogging parra, the raiders have struggled to beat the titans, been flogged by Brisbane and walloped by Cronulla
- either side of beating parra the dolphins are pumped by Brisbane and been beaten by an under strength and out of form knights

it actually fills me with despair because this is not good form at all - we are in serious trouble in the next few weeks without some form of circuit breaker

Too many of our forwards just aren't suited to the speed of the game in 2024. Too many players who's feet a more likely to stop than keep moving when things get tough. Lane, kelma, lussik etc

I also heard a strong rumour today that Wayne Bennett has knocked back the Rabbitohs and Burgess is squarely in the frame - which is why they signed Lewis Dodd

no one knows anything concrete, but the feeling amongst people who know him is that Bennett wouldn’t mind a shot at parra
That would be beautiful
