    Eels in the media

    As Pou pointed out the other day. Between Paulo, Reg, Hopgood, and Matterson we likely have 220/240 minutes covered in the middle. I think whoever doesn't go to the right edge out of Murchie, Doorey, and Mataele will be on the bench.

    Cini is development and Loizou we'll see how it comes out from this pre-season

    Hopgood will be the 13. From the very little I've seen of him he could be a very good middle forward.

    We need some smaller middles. Junior, Reg, and Matto are massive. Hopgood is a good start for a smaller, work-rate middle.

    I reckon we'll go either Murchie or Doorey in the middle. Someone a bit more lightweight who can do more work.

    No. I thought you'd know seeing as you said we should focus on another one. But it appears you're going to deflect and put this on me.

    Westlife? I reckon they're more Take That fans

    Taumalolo not being sent off for a direct shoulder to the head. Holmes pass to Taulagi was forward for their final try. Then there's little ones like us not receiving a penalty when Moses was pushed in the air after kicking

    F/A can also be padded by large, meaningless wins over poor teams. Whether they were a better team than us, we were better coached is all subjective. What's an objective fact is that we beat them in the semi-final. On that day, we were the better team.

    And yet we never lost 2 games in a row. We didn't have a long winning stretch, our longest win streak was 3 in a row. But to say we bludged for 3/4 weeks I'd say is false. We also only won 1 less game than the cowboys, how much better could they have been?

    We played the panthers twice after they had played something like 2 games in 30 days, they were fresh and ready to go. I thought the cowboys had more luck in our SF, Taumalolo should've been sent off for a shoulder to the head, their 2nd try the ref didn't call interference in the ruck. And I'm...

    Last I checked clubs can organise up to 600k worth of TPAs

    They're sponsors. Pretty sure a TPA the club can't be involved, like when a player posts a photo on social media about a car dealership they won't be wearing any club merchandise.

    Ethan Sanders, Charlie Guymer, Blaize Talagi, Sam Tuivati picked in Blues squad https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/brad-fittlers-son-joins-blues-camp-as-next-gen-of-nsw-stars-revealed/news-story/5dac6495467f5982ce91a1af5f549539

    Squad succession

    Nrl.com has Talagi signed up until the end of '24. Which is a shock, I've been told we only promote Rouse Hill Rhinos juniors. Very odd.

    Personally I don't like changing second rowers unless needed or late in the game when the game is secured. If we plan on moving Matterson to the edge he should play 80 there just like Lane and Papa did in 2022.
  19. Obscene Assassin

    Wouldn't say he did nothing. He did his job. But his style isn't suited to how we use that RHS edge. We want a hole hitter. Although we may have to change plans on that side, Papa was explosive and would barnstorm into holes. Haven't played close attention to Murchie's style.

    Mau joined as a 26 year old with 0 NRL experience and ended up top 3 back rowers in the world. If he doesn't achieve those heights, he and the club have failed
