    Eels in the media

    Dom's issue for mine was that he wasn't involving himself enough early in the set, he slowly got more involved as the year progressed. Not sure if he's doing a whole pre-season or just pre-Xmas but either way at his best he could force his way into NSW cup later in the year. Incredible distance...

    Rumours and Stuff

    That's another issue although there's a bunch of great players with bad off-field behaviour, every club is lying when they say they have a "no dickheads policy". Unfortunately if you follow high profile sports these players are treated like gods from 15 years old, of course they're likely to be...

    It was only last year that Addo-Carr was playing for NSW and Australia, if he isn't injured it would've been a contest between him and Lomax for who plays on the right wing in those teams this year. In terms of playing ability this is a very good signing. He averaged 150m per game in 2024...

    Rumours and Stuff

    Given we have let go 3 top 17 players since the final round of the season, it isn't unreasonable to expect 1 top 17 signing at this point and beyond. They may not be direct replacements for Reg and Gutho as those positions have been filled but I expect us to replace Sivo with someone at least on...

    Clint Gutherson has a better running game from dummy half than Cameron Smith, who do you think engaged the markers better?

    For me running game ≠ engaging the markers, they're 2 separate skill sets.

    I don't care if Brailey takes 0 runs from dummy half. Good passing from the ruck to our halves and good defence is what we need from him. A good attitude on the training park would help too.

    Highlights clip. Not bad for a half who moved into hooker. A few technical aspects from dummy half that could be fixed up but seems to have the physical aspects to make a good dummy half. Needs to nail down passing off the ground rather than at shin height.

    Max Popo is the same age and started every game at lock for us last year in SG Ball. Sangalang played 4 out of the 10 games, all off the bench. If we're talking about winning a signing battle I think we may have won with Jayden Carter and Cameron Bamblett, 2 spine players who are a year younger.

    Yeah, maybe D6 this year moving into T30 the year after. If we don't sign another hooker it may he a combination of Smith and Hudson in NSW cup. Whatever we go with it appears NSW cup will be starting the year with a very young spine

    I love a stat. But I'm not sure tackle efficiency is as important at fullback as it is defending in the front line

    @Joshuatheeel has found out he's an 18 year old half/hooker who's already played 3 games of QCup for the Tweed Seagulls. Surprised the titans didn't have him signed up, it'd be odd for a non-NRL affiliated 18 year old who's played reserve grade to not have a contract somewhere.

    OT: Current Affairs and Politics

    Reading up about the "red mist" and "blue wave". Republicans tend to vote on the day of elections and in smaller counties so they usually pull ahead early and then once the democrat vote comes in, mail-in ballots and generally in larger cities, the counts end up being closer than expected...

    Shoulder injury killed his confidence in defence and he never got back mentally whilst at Parra. He was the captain of the Northern Pride this year after spending 2 years at the Mackay Cutters. Only turning 25 next year and as we've seen recently that doesn't necessarily stop him from an NRL debut

    First impression of that SG Ball squad. 2 big pick-ups in the spine. Jayden Carter and Cameron Bamblett. Carter can play 1-7 meanwhile Bamblett played half/hooker for penrith's Harold Matts team last year.

    In the 11 games he finished in 2024 JAC was averaging 150m meanwhile Simonsson was averaging 140m in his 8 games he finished. The one thing about that backline is no one would be shirking their responsibility in attempting to ruck the ball out. Many times we were let down by Sivo in his slow...

    Both were standouts in our Matts team this year despite being a year young.

    Sam Polley was binned and scored a try whilst Talen Risati kicked 3/5 goals and won player of the match in the tahs' GF today. Now time to focus on the real code fellas and force your way into the Eels' Flegg team next season.
