    Rd9: 6pm Parra v Sharks GAME DAY THREAD @ Suncorp 2.5.25

    If we can keep score close, we could come home strong and win. They could struggle late in the game due to short turn around and extra time game. Plus their halves could struggle if there is some pressure put on them, if it's close.

    NRL 360 + other footy shows

    Players can tackle one on one, but no incentive to do, as it just allows for a quick play the ball and potentially a off load...

    NRL 360 + other footy shows

    Need to increase the incentive for a one on one tackle...especially "old school" around the legs tackle.....maybe they can hold on for 5 secs, no need to immediately let go....at moment a one on one tackle just allows a quick play the ball.....

    MAGIC Rd 2025: 6pm Eels v Sharks, Suncorp Stadium, Fri May 2nd

    Guymer was moving into a middle role all last year, along with his debut when he played middle. Ryles has reversed that playing him in both positions. I wouId be surprised if Matterson comes in with Guymer benched. However there is a chance I reckon Guymer is ruled out (injured) and Matterson...

    MAGIC Rd 2025: 6pm Eels v Sharks, Suncorp Stadium, Fri May 2nd

    Can't believe a 20 year old forward, with only 6 NRL games isn't killing it in the nrl like a seasoned player..... let's blood juniors, let's play more junior, ah his average after 5 games, let's move oh.....far out..... Give Guymer 60 NRL games before judging him....

    OT: Current Affairs and Politics

    BTW Dutton looking out of his league...looks like he has tanked his campaign....Albo looking good! But do wish Albo would be a lot move radical with his policies....like more tax/welfare reforms, rather then playing it safe....

    I agree, that's the reason Hands was extended in the preseason: https://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2024/11/27/parramatta-eels-extend-two-players/ And Smith only given a development contract for 2 years: https://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2025/03/01/parramatta-eels-upgrade-two-players/ But a...

    Rumours and Stuff

    Well if panthers rated him, why didn't they give him a development contract? Maybe they did but Smith said no thank you, keep your $60k.... I prefer a $5k flegg contract because the eels may give him a train and trial the year after...

    Rumours and Stuff

    Well we don't know...but I dare say the security of a NRL contract entering the NRL preseason is a much better option the chancing it with a train and trial.... Maybe Smith preferred a train and trial over a NRL contract with another Sydney club...it's possible....

    Why? You telling him a 22 without an nrl contract is rated highly?

    Rumours and Stuff

    I definitely understand the reason some think that.... (while also of the opinion that MA is a very good player and on form deserved to be playing NSW cup....2 coaches other then BA have picked him..)... however a good indication is what other NRL sides are doing, Smith has definitely surprised...

    Rumours and Stuff

    Was it? Don't get why we even need discuss BA when we have moved on....and now on the Ryles train.... But since you brought him up, it's a load of bullshit he was a cancer on the club....without him, we would have truly been f**ked in 2016 and ongoing years if he didn't stay on instead of...
