Twelve games is such a small sample as to be irrelevant. Statistics aren’t for everyone.

Such a small sample size in 11 years, truly embarrassing.

Just 4 finals wins in 11 years and 3 of those were against 8th. Such an imposing record for Baldie. No wonder why he makes you stiffer than a triple scotch.

137 - Round 19, 2018 v Canterbury at Homebush.

A bludger of a night that had the crowd begging for the game to end after 10 mins.

#136 - Round 1 2020, also v Canterbury. Eels win 8-2 (from memory), Reed Mahoney only try of the match... Another bludger of a game, a Thursday night special....i was there begging to be euthanased.....

#135 - Round 22, 2015 v Penrith in Darwin - Score was 10-4

Reece Robinson scored a 85m try to win the game in the final 10 mins but it was a typical Darwin game messy with shit attack & a lot of errors though BA explained why our attack was shit.

Arthur explains blunt attack

It was by no means the most entertaining game of football, as both teams struggled to have an impact in attack, but Eels coach Brad Arthur insisted after the win over Penrith that he'd much rather see great effort from his team than great attacking execution.

"First half I thought we defended really well - at one stage I thought we made 100 tackles more," Arthur said.

"Defensively we used up a fair bit of gas and when we got into the other end of the field we were just too tired for the boys to get into position properly.

"Our attack was ugly tonight but to the credit of the playing group they toughed it out.

"At the time during the game I'd much rather better execution, but the end result playing tough like that is really pleasing for them."

Eels v Panthers: Five key points

The Eels got the two points against the Panthers in a scrappy match to keep their slim Telstra Premiership finals hopes alive. Here are five key points.

I predict Ryles will have less success than BA. You'll all turn on him within less than a year.

Well, at least Ryles will have more foresight than just looking at. the Rouse Hill rhinos for development players . And if success is judged by what state the club is when his time is up - you're looking at it right now. All three grades are a dead set balls up.

That's on mon aswell just quietly - our reserve grade squad is the balls up of the century.

Ryles is not expected to miraculously come in and make the 8 straight off the bat with the squad the bush coach has left him with. We just need him to start moving the chess pieces in the right direction.

Surely he gets 10 and a half years and a wooden spoon before we can judge him properly.

Is 11 years even a big enough sample size???

I have a good feeling about Ryles. 2027 I think we take out the title. Not expecting heaps next season.
