    If they're happy with it, then that's what matters, I guess. I, personally, would have expected the best team of the NRL era to have a more grandiose stadium.

    Completely agree. Much like Test cricket, NFL is a war of attrition - it's a battle of wits, and "who will blink first". If you know the rules, and what you're watching, gridiron is quite exciting. It has the propensity to have massive, game-defining plays on a more consistent basis than the...

    I agree with your point - but I just can't escape the fact that it was 29-year Ofahengaue who did this...I mean, then dude represented Queensland.... No harm, but it is a little unprofessional, and you would not expect that sort of immature antics from a senior player at the club. Having said...

    Is there any reason we can’t challenge for the title in 2025?

    I think we can challenge for the title every year - it's the beauty of being a fan. But I genuinely think our roster is pretty strong across the park - probably our biggest area of concern is our pack; it is an aging forward pack, and questions arise surrounding our props. But we have very...

    Is it just me, or has Arthur Miller-Stephen gotten taller, and wider? I almost didn't recognise him.

    I may be wrong, but I don't think Penrith's hooker, is especially crafty... I think "craftiness" and "speed of dummy half" are what fans like to see, but a good hooker needs to provide good service from dummy half, lead the defensive line, and be a good defender. I reckon Mahoney ticks all...

    A class act, as always. He may be wearing Red and White this season, but he's Blue and Gold forever.

    Nothing to see here. All above board, in the fairest, and most even, competition in the world.

    I was really pleased to hear Zac's comments regarding Ryles' status as a "student of the game" as it were. Arthur did a very good job for us, but I think it's fair to say that we had a plan A, and no plan B to fall back on, under his tenure. It seems that Ryles is a little more adaptable, and...

    Glowing praise for Ryles. https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2024-zac-lomax-opens-up-on-his-eels-switch-dragons-release-signs-with-parramatta-eels-brad-arthur-sacking-jason-ryles-nsw-kangaroos-mitch-moses-news-videos/news-story/37f2b545b6eb4755d3b2566c58080c45

    Sure. But did we beg him to stay at that price because we were desperate to keep him (noting that we did not try to surpass Penrith's offer), or was it more a public relations exercise - "the club can't be seen to afford to lose a promising youngster, let's fight for him." I'm sure if he...

    Thanks for the scoop, Stevie. Personally, I'm not a fan of the design.

    Talagi was not the right fit for a rebuilding Parramatta, despite his obvious talent. We didn't need to invest further time in a player who - although extremely talented -, is a liability in defence. We made the right call letting him go, and as I said previously, he could not have gone to a...

    Is it that Cleary didn't want Hopgood, or that Hopgood didn't want to wait for one of the game's great locks in Yeo to retire, before getting regular game time?

    A recruiter was supposed to call me at 12pm this afternoon for a chat about a potential opportunity. It's 12:35, and I haven't heard a peep. I wasn't planning on leaving my current role, anyway, but it's always good to see what is out there. But this recruiter is appalling.

    Also, PSA - if anyone is in the market for a new phone, steer well clear of a Google Pixel. I hate my Pixel 8 Pro with more hatred than I've ever had for anything in my life, ever.

    I hope Jake kicks on - despite his surname, and limitations, he's a genuinely good kid, with a great attitude, and a strong work ethic. He deserves success.
