    Standing up wobbly after being hit high

    I really really really hope the coaching staff are all over this new rule Brian Smith style. When a prop gets contacted in the head around the 20 minute mark, they need to stay down. The trainer then needs to get them up all wobbly on their feet and acting drugged out. Seeming "unlikely to...

    2017 semi final vs Cowboys Sat. 16th Sept - Who is going?

    Have got my train ticket for the Friday night Sydney to Melbourne overnight trip, and my return flight on Saturday morning, and taxi to the ground from there. Can't wait to get online on Wednesday at 10am and get tickets for the game. Who else is heading down?

    The future team lists

    I'm not going to be so ridiculous as to suggest a particular round. I'm just talking about our strongest possible lineup in 2024. I am guessing we have a few premierships under the belt between now and then. I think it will be the year of the new breed coming through. Will they be able to pull...

    Dear Beau Scott

    A quick letter to ask you not to try and strip the ball in every tackle you make. Yes, it worked twice against Manly where you got away with it, but since then you just get penalised. I fearlessly predict you get penalised 8/10 times for it this season. Sincerely Frustrated.

    Pat Hundy, the last Rory O'Brien

    What a fantastic player. I can't wait to see a stand named after him at Western Sydney Stadium, at this rate on opening day. Leave your tributes to the best 6-7th string prop this club has ever seen. And before anyone gets smart in this thread: every club needs backups

    Why do we have to add players to 'make up the 25' now?

    A bit confused reading through the sentiment of 'well Watmough is gone for half price and we will take someone back at half minimum to fill his spot' Why? If Watmough, Morgan and Peats are counting against our salary cap, and for more than $80k on the season, then they occupy a 'top 25...

    Avenger, please help

    Can you make Pou go away again please? He is barely back, and I'm already over the volume dribbling of circular logic that always ends up in him thinking his opinion is objective fact.

    The Third Third..

    So the first two thirds of the season has seen us with 7 wins from 16 games. I think for a team like Parra, 8 from 16 was probably par, so we're just behind par on terms of wins. What will the third third of the season bring us? The next 8 matches sees us playing: Rd 19 – Bulldogs at ANZ Rd...

    The apology thread

    So now that it looks like the Foran deal will be completed this afternoon, who needs to post their apologies to the board/ DA/ Brad Arthur about it? a) We find out Foran had a ridiculous clause snuck into his contract, CEO responsible is terminated b) DA takes over to the chagrin of many...

    The 'what is the point of Joey Paulo' thread

    Last year i tracked Joseph Paulo on and off the field. We scored more points per minute with him off the field than on. Thought I would start doing the same again, but this time record it on more than a scrap of paper (ie, here in this thread). Rd 12 vs Panthers: Joey on the field 0-14 [34...

    DeGois, Peats and Js Paulo

    Ok, it's gone beyond ridiculous. Fair enough to have the 3 players in the 17 man squad, but to have all 3 on the park at the same time is beyond dumb. Good job Brad, you experimented, it is a clear fail. Peats OR DeGois on the paddock at any time. Js Paulo for limited minutes. Having all 3...

    Fun fact of the day

    Since the inception of the ARL (now NRL), the Eels hold the record for longest reign as minor premiers. After winning the minor premiership, nobody took it from us for 3 straight years (so 4 in total). In fact, that is the longest period a team hasn't been replaced as minor premiers since the...

    Congrats to Hayne

    Finishes the regular season as leading tryscorer. First time in a long time we have held the mark (82 was the only other occasion i think?) I think finals series tries keep counting, so he might not end up as season top tryscorer. At least he wins something, our diabolical last 2 games...

    13 wins would be massive

    First up: I think we will miss the 8 on 13 wins unless a few results go our way. Having said that, we haven't had 13 wins in a season since 2007, and we ought to make that mark by beating Newie and Canberra. We have only had more than 13 wins 3 times this decade, so whatever happens from here...

    Bring back the 5 minute sin bin

    I don't know what Nate Myles did to get binned yesterday, but it seems the 10 minute sin bin is extremely harsh only because players hardly ever leave the field for much of anything. Having said that, if Myles (and Sandow in the other game) abused the referee, then sure, give them 10. I...

    june 30 player movement?

    Any chance of us getting hold of a forward before June 30?? Obviously the lack of a lock is a massive weakness for us, and the talk about Watmough illustrates the need for that position to be massively upgraded! Any chance of picking someone up before June 30 for this season who can bring...
