Eels in the media

There’s an article in The Australian this morning saying that Ryan Papalphabet was snubbed by the Eels. Apparently he was playing touch footy for the Eels and couldn’t get a game for junior reps.

Heads must roll obviously. He’s 22 now so we need to hunt down who was in charge of pathways 7 years ago and nail him to the cross. Then roll him in honey and put him on an ants nest.

No link. Find it yourselves FFS. Paywalled anyway don’t @me. :zzz:

65 per cent of the Eels’ fanbase lives within 20km of Bankwest Stadium, making the partnership even more significant in reaching Western Sydney.

That line is so funny. 20 KM is a long distance.

10% of Eels fans live on the west of the Great Dividing Range - Comment after we secure sponsorship of Dubbo Western Plains Zoo.

Questions have been asked about the whereabouts of Parramatta forward Peni Terepo, who has not been seen since playing the opening six rounds for the Eels. While the Eels continue their march towards an elusive premiership, Sport Confidential has learnt Terepo has taken a break from the game to deal with some health issues. He left the Eels’ bubble weeks ago but is still being paid by the club and his welfare remains their priority.
[7:34 PM]
Terepo has previously spoken publicly about suffering with epilepsy since he was a teen and has said he has relied on twice-daily medication. He described seeing a “black fly” inch closer towards him to indicate a seizure was approaching. Terepo said “there isn’t enough numbers” to count how many seizures he’s experienced during the past decade in an interview in 2014. Those close to him say he remains open minded about his future but — in the short term — is taking a break from all football commitments. Terepo is off-contract at season’s end but is yet to have any meaningful discussions regarding his playing career.
[7:34 PM]
He has not been medically retired nor will he be part of the NRL’s retiring brigade. Terepo has been a mainstay for the Eels since making his debut in 2013, going on to play 123 top grade games. Peni is also the Eels’ current longest-serving player. The Eels lost just one of their opening six games with Terepo starting from the bench

As much as merkins on here lampoon his handling, I still think the Peni offers great value and there are not many in the game that "run from the back fence" like our Peni. Get well soon mate.

Yeah look, he shits me on occasions but one thing I don't think can ever be questioned is his effort. Always gives 100%. The same cannot always be said for a couple of others who are still in the squad (one of whom will soon be the Warriors problem)
