    Yeah thats true, maybe I jumped the gun a little bit on that. AMS in particular will be interesting to watch in regards to whether he has kept his speed.

    Also while I am here, whats the consensus on Apa Twidle on here? He's been my favourite junior for the past few years, and although he hasn't played cup yet (more so due to his lack of size), he has the skill, and the raw pace to be a successful NRL player.

    Mate the Dragons are 8th ATM, IMO the worst case is we finish 10th, but I think we'll be within the 6-8 range. Next year should be a set-up year, learning Ryles' system and finishing off some players' contracts, just look at the Dogs. Last year was their set-up, and this year they've excelled...

    Rome wasn't built in a day. Whilst this year has been poor all around, I can't help but be slightly optimistic for next year. Hopefully, Ryles clears out all the deadwood (Lane, Sivo, etc.), creates a strong defensive system, and gets our forwards working harder (Jr and Greig have been so unfit...

    Wow this forum is dire atm. On the bright side, Arthur Miller-Stephens and Dick Penisini should be fully fit and ready to go for the start of next year and could be genuine shots of playing consistent FG footy.

    Casey was well offside in that last try, although it doesn't really matter.

    Only mentioned defense because he got a bit lazy late in games.

    Can anyone else see Doorey coming back next year as our breakout player? I was impressed with his ball running and offloading, although he wasn't fit at all. With a full offseason to work on his fitness and defense, I think he's a smokey to become the next Matto (a second rower who eventually...

    That prediction was horrible with hindsight I think this is still true, although we have good bench players/borderline starters (Greig and Ofa), we haven't found someone that can cover the fowards + centres, nor replace his combination of attacking strike and defensive consistency. I now...

    It's hard to see either AMS or Russell defending Cobbo. Although Arthurs probably won't play, so the Broncs will probably give Mariner a go, which would be a much easier defensive target for AMS than Ravalawa

    What did you guys think of AMS yesterday? Personally, I'm sympathetic as the blokes a FB that has gone from Flegg to RG to FG in a season. Although I do believe that he needs to put on some muscle as he was getting steamrolled yesterday, and not just by Ravalawa.

    Bit of an odd post but I asked AI to write a story about the Eels this year and this is what is served up! The year was 2023, and the Parramatta Eels were determined to bring the NRL Grand Final trophy home to their beloved fans. The season had been a rollercoaster ride for the Eels, with...

    When Matterson returns the bench should look more like: 14. Rein/Arthur/Cartright 15. Hopgood 16. Makatoa/Rodwell 17. Tapau/Brown

    The Panthers pack is getting weaker, Garner doesn't have Kikau's X-factor, Kenny and Luke will both have to adjust to NRL and the bench is very small, with only Sorenson and Leniu providing any go foward, so expecting big minutes from Leota and JFH this year.

    Do you think that BA will stick with Sivo and Blake on the wings, or will Dunster come back into the starting lineup?

    Forgot about him, do you think he'll play more nsw cup this year?

    would we really need him, we already have: Sivo, Simonssen, Waqa, Russell, Dunster, Loizou and Cini (who can fill in at wing).
