Rumours and Stuff

[Eelogical]

So the Storm lose Eli Katoa in the pacific champs and get salary cap dispensation but we lose three players due to foul play and we don’t get anything?

edit: Did a bit more research and apparently it is tougher to get relief if the injury is not succumbed in an origin or rep match. Bit stupid

It wouldn't have happened if we had let Lomax play with the Storm in the first place. The Lomax Retribution is still at play.

Update on Ryles vs Ciraldo (the greatest coach in the NRL to never have achieved anything of note).

1) Ryles first season at Eels > than Ciraldo's first season at Dogs
2) 2nd season so far level pegging on 2 wins from 5
3) Dogs ended the year in 6th with 14 wins and 10 losses. That's our 2026 benchmark.

Agree.

Was it Sua that ended Dunster's knee?

No it was Fuimano (sp)

Maybe we should start playing footy rather than getting absorbed with stats. I reckon the lads should start slapping each others faces before we run out on to the field.

Yes, and to keep our "Fibro" players strong we need a dietary plan to maintain weight and rage, the Roy Masters Plan of steak and potatoes, and consuming a minimum of one dozen cans of beer a week.

Cheers. I believe they were brothers-in-law. Imagine the feeling at the Christmas parties after they've sunk a few.

It works for me.

Flukey bounces? Pezet turned the game against Brisbane putting Tuilagi through a couple of gaps. He set up one against the Dragons supporting Samrani's break to put TDS away. Then against Penrith he set up a great try for Walker.

I agree Volkman has a better running game, but can he play Pezet's role? How is Moses and our right side attack going to go if Moses has to play more centrally?

Well find out soon enough. But remember if Volkman was there instead we have 600k spare also

 

[hindy111]

Yes. Do you consider them to be small? I take it you agreeing with me on my ultimate point that Tweedle being small but fast might be able to make a good contribution to the hit up game?

Twiddle isn't small. Id guess 6 ft 1 and 95kgs.

It works for me.

I'd lol emoji but my account is perpetually blocked from all human emotions due to whatever finickity policy this obtuse website has applied.

I'd ask Twizzle if he could check the settings but I can't even reply to him.

It's exasperating.

Just on Sloan, I remember when he extended last time it was reportedly on $500k a season. This was obviously based on him kicking on. I’d take him for $350 to $400k. He has plenty of speed and can also freely go on every ride at Luna Park. We don’t have that in our roster.

We need top tier talent to help us move forward. Not against Sloane but he'd be another reject

yes this is true , Fuimano was overhead telling

right up MONs alley.,

 

[hindy111]

Maybe 6ft 2 and similar build to Hayne of adds 3-4 kgs of muscle

 

[Timana]

How come when as a player you make it over the advantage line you are not rewarded with a quick play the ball?

They should have a 3 and 5 second time limit 3 seconds for going over the advantage line ect 5 seconds for a legs tackle dominant tackle before the line or where the succumbed to the tackle...

Coz they play around in the tackle. They get entangled and do or sorts of stuff. So they take ages to get off

Analed

 

[Parrapat]

Whatever happened to Legal Eel? Haven't seen him for ages, he's brilliant and I loved and miss his scathing takedowns of Pou.

 

[Parrapat]

Analed

lol, analed even.

 

[Timana]

yeah, you might be right.

our backs hit up stats look awful compared to the tigers back 5

There's backs run harder --- they sort of surge like To'o.
It's a panfers thing

Sloane has too much derp in him to play for the Eels.
