    First player dropped or scapegoat

    He wasn't great in week 1 either when he was there as a backrower. Check NRL stats. Does he warrant being a starting backrower over Tanginoa or Terepo? Can our forward pack contain four backrowers with less than 20 games each worth of experience? This was the same issue that got us last year ---...

    First player dropped or scapegoat

    Well, I held back on asking for the coach to be sacked or doing a powerpoint presentation listing players to be sacked. But seriously, I'd only suggest dropping two people and reshuffling others. Its much the same as what Brian Smith did after the Broncos thrashed the Eels 54-14 in 2005. Out...

    First player dropped or scapegoat

    I think tweaking rather than a full blown panic is in order after last night. The two best dummy halves in our team are Peats and Kelly. They need to be the hooking rotation from herein. Sandow needs to be back in the halves. His kicking game and running game are superior to Kelly's. The new...

    Loko situation

    Then we'll sign him for another two years with an upgrade ;-)

    Loko situation

    Don't worry, we have Willie Tonga to cover in case Loko gets injured :-)

    Bye bye Spagnolo...

    Good riddance. Hope we never see him again.

    Eels Appoint Brad Arthur as Head Coach

    I am sure that Brad Arthur will be a perfectly fine coach. Its just that the way it was done and the open discussion of board affairs. I honestly don't think that I'd want to see former players on the board again. I'd want people who have worked for some time in large and successful...

    Eels Appoint Brad Arthur as Head Coach

    I'm pretty sure you'd be annoyed if it happened to you, regardless of whether you were 10 or 50. Its a great joke, still makes me chuckle... Thankfully JT has matured.

    Coaching appointment process

    Not sure about the process, but if it was me I'd just pick up the phone and call Jason Taylor and Brian Smith.

    Rumoured Signings and General Dribble XIII

    'Done us no favours' is an understatement, but Kearney would've caused the club to fold.

    Canterbury-Bankstown's new recruit Reni Maitua back in the Dog house

    I take it thats a polite way of saying that the board's priorities lie elsewhere....

    Canterbury-Bankstown's new recruit Reni Maitua back in the Dog house

    More importantly, how does a wealthy club like Parramatta have the worst training facilities in the NRL?

    Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs $1 million play for Parramatta superstar Jarryd Hayne

    Gee, I don't know if thats going to help!!

    Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs $1 million play for Parramatta superstar Jarryd Hayne

    Absolutely. If Hayne goes elsewhere in 2016 thats one thing, but 2014-15 are another thing. Thankfully he's confirmed he's staying. But the upset its caused just shows how weak are position is atm. The way in which are first grade squad has been decimated is just ridiculous. We can turn it...

    Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs $1 million play for Parramatta superstar Jarryd Hayne

    You could have said the same thing about Nathan Cayless in 2004. He'd just had two injury plagued seasons. He was then pretty much injury free from 2005 to 2010. So we don't know if he'll offer value in 2014 and 2015, but he is worth the risk.

    Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs $1 million play for Parramatta superstar Jarryd Hayne

    I'm a lawyer. All of these contracts would have terms of good faith and reasonableness implied into them, especially as they are commercial in nature. Its not good faith conduct to be signed with Club A and receiving money from that club over two years whilst negotiating with Club B. There would...
