    Yeah the side-to-side nature of our attack from the second half of Round 1 until the end of Round 6 has been one of the most frustrating talking points each episode this year. Will feel good to finally sink our teeth into a strong win!

    I think what it really boils down to is that an explosive/blockbuster/dynamic middle forward commands the highest premium out of any non-playmaking role in rugby league. In many ways, they are the most special athletes to step onto the field in any given game because of the unique blend of size...

    Lots to break down and delve into so let me flex the old typing thingamabobs. Dresler is facing a similar battle to what Gutho had to overcome in regards to re-injuring the same knee, except he had more complications along the way. His timeline for a return to the Flegg is a little murky last I...

    Round 4 Review is up. I know I fired up a bit this week (both in this and in tomorrow's preview podcast) so hopefully it didn't detract too much from the discussion. I am pretty sure a course language warning probably goes with that, although it would only be limited to a handful of comments...

    Eels in the media

    @Poupou Escobar I believe that NRL.com is listing them as off-contract come November because they can officially field and sign offers from rival clubs at that point. Bizarre angle to take because they each have 12 months on their contracts to run at that point but it helps inject some...

    Eels in the media

    Interesting to note that we had zero players inside the Daily Telegraph's Top 50 NRL Players. The only other club to get zero selections was Wests Tigers but #51 was probably David Nofoaluma or Josh Reynolds working off the talent weighting of this list. ;) Sources: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

    Trial vs Newcastle Thread

    Davis scored a super dodgy try on the left for Wenty from a kick. I am just trying to recall whether he was there natively or if it was a stacked edge for the kick.

    Eels in the media

    When you really think about it if an apostrophe denotes possession, is a comma indicating a knock on? :thinking:

    Trial vs Newcastle Thread

    #23 was Niukore at right edge backrow. Nathan Davis (right) and Dane Aukfolau (left) were the relief centres in the numberless jerseys. I thought Niukore was probably the reserve that boosted his stock the most in those dying moments. That also followed a really good effort for Wenty where he...

    Parramatta Eels Women's NRL Team

    We talking a conventional 1-point here or a Greg Inglis 1-point?

    Reed Mahoney and Jaeman Salmon were not named to the Flegg squad, which is probably the most interesting news out of it all. Both were preseason standouts (although Salmon has been contact banned and more recently contact restricted) while Mahoney looked extremely at home in the first ISP trial...

    The turbulent era(s) the Eels have emerged from definitely played a part in it all. Constantly rotating and paying out staff, losing sponsorships and cleaning up the rot and actually getting the joint up to standard as a competitive NRL franchise have all played significant parts in our big...

    In regards to the football operations cap, it is also a soft cap as far as I know. Clubs are allowed to exceed the limit but they would essentially be 'taxed' on excess spending over the cap. We will look to extract more efficiency out of our footy expenses and bring down spending (and/or...

    Rumours and Stuff

    I'm addressing what I allege as a fallacy that only marquee players can generate sponsorship/endorsement deals. Ultimately there is no real way to stop clubs attempting to cheat the cap. You can discourage it with periodic forensic accounting but that is an expensive endeavour while other...

    I think you are wrong mate. I say that as someone that used to think exactly that way because our experience in the NRL pretty much teaches us that. When you think of legit TPAs you think Jarryd Hayne, Cameron Smith, Billy Slater and Greg Inglis and that is analogous for the top endorsement...

    I am totally for this, even if only for the natural story lines it can potentially create in the run to the finals and then the post-season itself. Seeing one of the TPA-poor clubs go on a run and knowing they knocked off the Storm/Broncos/Roosters despite a 1/2/3 million dollar difference in...

    To be fair, our two best dummy halves for Flegg are playing/played SG Ball and ISP this week. Between Mahoney and Schenider we will be pretty sweet at hooker. I know he had a rough game but in defence of Blaise Barnes that was his first footy in close to two years. He came out of the game with...
