    Is dropping players too harsh now???

    I would like everyones opinion on my theory as to why Hages -and a lot of other coaches - find it hard to drop players now. I think it is because of the competition structure. Unless a player is under 20, then it means they go back to 'park' footy. I am sure any coach would not wish that on...

    Jarryd and Hindy on cover of Alpha !!

    Check out this months Alpha magazine. Interesting article about the Eels inside and our long wait for a premiership. I wonder if they still would have run that article if they knew where our position on the ladder would be at the moment. Check it out folks !

    Where does this leave us depth wise?

    I would like to hear your thoughts on our depth in the 6 and 7 positions with Tim gone - almost certainly for the season. It is remotely possible that Finch and maybe Mateo could be picked in Origin so where does that leave us? And what if either of them were injured. Who can cover? I can't...

    Attn: Admin - Is it just me??

    OT - FP's Friday Soapbox (New Swimsuits) !

    I find it quite strange as a nation that we jump up and down when an athlete is found to have used performing enhancing drugs - but have no issue with performance enhancing swimsuits. If our swimmers are so damn good (and they are) then why do they see the need to use spaceage swimsuits to...

    Hindy's comment on Finchy ??

    Did anyone else catch Hindys comments on Finchy on the Sunday Footy Show? I thought he was talking tongue in cheek but there was no smirk or cheeky grin which made me think he meant it. What did everyone else think? They talked about them last night on Triple M and Gus reckons Hindy was dead...

    Worst Footy Ideas ever...

    I would like to know what you think is one of the worst ideas you have ever heard with regards to our game. It may relate to the rules, the supporters, the administration, referees whatever. I bring this up because of Paul Langmacks suggestion on the Sunday Roast that we should have...

    Is this Semi a waste of time ????

    It seems that way to me. I know that momentum is important and all that - not to mention confidence, but seriously - what does this game mean? It is highly unlikely the Rabbits or Broncs are going to win so what are we going to get all busted up for. This McIntyre system is a croc and...

    Jarryd on Sunday...(10 out of 10 - RLW)

    Watching the game back again last night I realised that Jarryds game was even more incredible than I first thought. Absolutely amazing performance. I was trying to rack my brain to see if I can think of a performance like that in an eels jersey before. Peter Sterlings match at the Parra...

    Time for some entertainment...

    Sitting at the game on Saturday night, it occurred to me how lame our club is in providing entertainment before games and at halftime. Can't the club come up with anything more imaginative than getting kids to play footy for us. I mean thats fun and all but seriously every game???? That is...

    Too bad my 9 yr old isn't captain.....

    When we got that penalty right on half time and had ONE play - my son said " we should kick a field goal because we may need it later". Instead we attempted a bomb which was diffused. Not sure who's call it was but the one pointer made great sense to me. C'mon Caylo - listen to the kid - he...

    Thursday Discussion- 2 Referees

    Why in Gods name can't we have two referees on the field officiating? It can't possibly be worse than what we have now.? This idea has come up in the past but keeps getting rejected as too hard but I can't see why. One ref will get back the 10, the other stands at the ruck looking for...

    Inu's backwards field goals

    Anyone see Inu kicking fieldgoals backwards on the news last night. Anyone here, reckon he'll try it in a game???

    White trash......

    God I hate those piece of sh*t white jerseys we wore yesterday. Absolute crap! I support a Blue and Gold side and if I want to see a side run around in white I'll go watch the Bulldogs or Saints!!! My son proudly wears his new gold jersey (at $130odd dollars) to the footy yesterday only to...

    Are we up for a fight??

    Theres something I have been thinking about for a while and I am keen to see who agrees with me. It seems that our side for a number of years just hasn't been a team that enjoy a tough battle. When we get on a roll and things are going well - we can be awesome. But when the opposition turn up...

    My little bit to help out..........

    Just to let everyone know that for the last 7 years I have not booked any holidays during September School holidays/October long weekend in case Eels made the GF - I didn't want to miss it. Well f**k it - I've booked to go interstate this year so if its going to happen - it'll be this year...
