Eels in the media

[Gronk]

I agree. We are approaching a point where we seem to be so well run off the field (first time in… forever) that losing a player, even a very good one like Matto, isn’t the end of the world. And dare I say it, I’ve got faith that we’d be able to find a worthy replacement.

Isn't he one head knock away from a few months on the sidelines ? Boyd Cordner anyone ?

 

[Soren Lorenson]

I've not even heard speculation about another club throwing any dollars at him. I suspect he's stuck with us for the time being.

I think there is a lot of upside to Matto if we can keep him on the field. Concussions are a concern and no doubt the reason other clubs are not biting

Keegan Hipgrave will miss two weeks for a dangerous tackle in the Eels' Round 11 NSW Cup game against Blacktown Workers.

Newcastle Knights playmaker Blake Green has announced his retirement from rugby league, effective immediately.

The veteran has enjoyed a decorated 14 seasons at the top flight, both in the National Rugby League and English Super League.

Having arrived at Newcastle midway through the 2020 season from the Warriros, Green endured a torrid stroke of luck, suffering a season-ending ACL injury.

Reflecting on his decision, the 34-year-old says his mind and body are still willing, but his body is unable.

Well his body is probably unwilling then.

Someone needs to create a defensive instructional video narrated by Waqa Blake.

Might miss the mark...

Wouldn't want to rush into it and leave yourself exposed.

I've seen it. I thought my speakers were cactus cause there was no voice-over during the narration....

I’d love to see the replay again where he missed 3 tackles in the one play. I wonder if all the fault is on 1 of his teammates or 3.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That's a solid effort to attempt three tackles in one play. Arthur's did say he wants competitors.

I wonder if there will be any video’s of some super cool moves???

Short pass to Paulo who turns at the line and pops it back to Rheed to find overlap on left - I call that the Tookey
Set up by going wide a few times, Moses digs into the line with Nrown on his hip.
Opacic floats out before turning it in for Sivo to rampage.
Gutho face ball to Sivo is obvious but whether by good luck or good management, the face ball cut off by Papali’i to go over basically untouched.
Rheed darting right before passing left to Gutho or Nrown to slice the defenders

I agree just a real shame he didn’t repeat his high tackle that resulted in a sin binning.

Well he certainly chased the collision. Didn't quite impact though.

 

[Gary Gutful]

This is where BA has f**ked up again.

Chase the collision and then what? Make the collision?

Get it right cueball!
