"Place where the eels lie down, to breed"

I've never heard the "to breed" part mentioned in there before ..... so it's where the eels root?

That has to be the best indigenous jersey we have ever had.

It's the boomerang that gives it that V shape and why I keep wishing that we design a jersey with a nice V for a season or two. Something like the Perth Pirates mooted jersey design would be awesome and I would start buying our jersey again. One can live in hope I guess.

I think it means the “place where the Eels lie down to get analed”

It appears their Assistant (defence) Coach, Ciraldo has his own Assistant (defence) Coach, Wallace. Obviously a massive emphasis on Defence at the Pennys and it certainly shows.

Not so much defensive patterns, but they have good line speed (which dropped off when they got gassed in the last 20m) and that hold them up and drag them up back thing is clearly effective. Not only does it stifle momentum with quick play the balls, but the drag em back nulifies any post contact.

The counter to thier tactics was shown how BA encouraged offloads and short shifts away from the prowling gang tacklers. I’m sure other teams will be talking about us when they have Penrith next up.

The hold up and rag doll is the new catch drop and peel. Penrith do a great job at it.

Resilience and composure is not something you can just switch on. It surprised me TBH. We done BA.

So why do eels always look so grumpy? They're clearly getting some!

Yup and we started doing it too. Not as well but I didnt really notice that in our other games

And our line speed was back to when we had a really good defense

I noticed our Eels trying the drag back on occasions as well. Its a very effective tactic for sure. I really have to admire who controls our boys fitness. Penrith are relentless and to stay in the fight is testimony to our physicality. My concern is if its sustainable but maybe thats a mental problem. Add Marata and Waqa on the wing and its an extremely capable team. Ive always been of the opinion that we have the players to do great things. Now to find that consistency that continues to elude us.

Yup. The issue is mental for our team.

We have all the player ingredients but the mentality can be piss weak.

I haven't seen anyone mention this but I think making Junior co-captain was a really good move. I think he has really stepped up his on field presence.

Sometimes, after a try or they are huddled, you can hear Gutho barking at them.... but you can also see alot sort of ignoring him (Maybe except the younger players), they don't seem to really care what he says.

Coz jUnz doesnt speak alot (someone mentioned it in an interview) when he does, they listen

Because they don't get any until the year before they die...
