[I bleed blue & gold]

Not even funny.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Maybe not but I'll take it.

 

[84 Baby]

Think taken out of context a little. Not a dig at us or Tits specifically but the old "training the house down" spouted by every team

 

[strider]

I had a little chuckle. Then rolled my eyes

 

[Chipmunk]

Biggest pre-season ever...EVER

 

[hineyrulz]

If it is Carl WEBB training the house down pre season we got Dis!!

 

[84 Baby]

The next tweet was a bit funnier about house builders being busy because of all the houses that have been trained down.

(I couldn’t be f**ked linking it)

Competition is heating up at Parramatta as young stars chase an NRL chance

Parramatta winger George Jennings is facing stiff competition from a throng of youngsters looking to break into the Eels’ backline ahead of the NRL season kick-off.

Fijian flyer Maiko Sivo, who drew comparisons with former Eel Semi Radradra with his barnstorming runs during his time with Penrith, has undergone off-season shoulder surgery and is currently on a modified training program.

The minor setback has given two of Parramatta’s other rising stars a chance to impress coach Brad Arthur and push their claims for a spot on the wing for the Eels’ season opener against the Panthers.

Winger Haze Dunster and centre Ethan Parry have impressed in sessions in the oppressive western Sydney heat, joining a logjam of back options including Jennings brothers Michael and George, new recruit Blake Ferguson, speed machine Bevan French and utility Brad Takairangi.

Elsewhere on the injury front, forwards Nathan Brown (knee) and Manu Ma’u (shoulder) are still on modified programs but both are on track for round one.

Premiership winning winger Blake Ferguson has overcome both leg injuries (broken leg and a cut to this leg) and is scheduled to begin contact training this week.

Good to hear the youngsters are coming along. However, the article left out our likely starting centre in the slippery salmon.

I’m sure that Josh Hoffman doesn’t think he’s there to captain Wenty.

They dont want him overcooked

They dont want him overcooked

They’d like him to be rare-ing to go.

 

[Happy MEel]

They’d like him to be rare-ing to go.

Or perhaps they factored in his gill-ty verdict on his DUI

Salmon was out of the frying pan into the fire that day.

“
George Burgess has knocked back an offer from the Parramatta Eels and will remain with the Rabbitohs until at least the end of 2019.

The South Sydney prop had attracted interest from the Eels with the opportunity to link with Parramatta as early as this season on a multi-year deal.

However the English international informed the Eels on Tuesday night that he had decided against taking up their offer and would see out his deal with the Rabbitohs.

South Sydney haven't got a contract beyond this year on the table, but Burgess is backing himself to earn a new deal in his first season under new coach Wayne Bennett.

The Eels have plenty of money to spend in the salary cap given the departure of Corey Norman to St George Illawarra and the decision not to extend Jarryd Hayne's contract.

They have identified a need for more aggression and size up front to go with the addition of Junior Paulo to the team, who rejoins the Eels after a stint in the nation's capital with the Canberra Raiders.

Five key matchups of the Rabbitohs' 2019 draw

Burgess is understood to have been close to agreeing to a deal with the Eels for 2019 and beyond but it fell over at the 11th hour.

NRL.com contacted South Sydney, with general manager Shane Richardson reiterating the club's desire to keep Burgess at the club.

"He will be with us in 2019 and Wayne has always indicated he wants him here," Richardson said.”

This lack of TPAs business is really hurting us.
