Eels in the media

Oh i forgot our structures are fine silly me.

Sarcasm. Just own it. That's what you do.

Like irony, sarcasm conveys the opposite of what is said. The difference between irony and sarcasm, Merrill Perlman writes in the Columbia Journalism Review, is intent: sarcasm is meant to wound, while irony – generally used in reference to situations rather than people – merely points out an absurdity or contradiction.

In Greek, sarkazein meant "to tear flesh; to wound."

I think he was told he wasn't being renewed, and was offered this chance and took it. If he wasn't good enough for next season why was he good enough this season?? I mean defence coach is a pretty important position is it not???

Or possibly given he was only extended for season 2022 with Parra (*), the opportunity to get a longer contract was presented but it was a "take now or leave it" option.

So he took it.

Yeah considering all the harmless stuff that gets deleted it's a bit weird.

Not my fault you don't trust me.
Sourcing is only to appease the damn mods mate, not for us plebes to click on.

No need for that. Media organisations love when people share the full text of their articles. They consider it free advertising. People read it and say "Gee this rugby league article was measured and factual. I'm going to become a subscriber."

Nine tenths of the score: The stat Parramatta Eels live and die by

Statistics over the past three NRL seasons show a win or loss for Parramatta can be all but taken to the bank based on their opening 20 minutes.

www.smh.com.au

Interesting stats and analysis on how Parramatta fare during a game depending on the score at the 20 min mark.

It doesn't surprise me as you can generally tell after 5 mins what Parramatta's mindset, mentality and attitude is.

Bloody hell, how did Paps make this list?
