Eels in the media

[84 Baby]

Don’t want to say I told you all but I said that’s what we need from Greig off the bench. Low minutes, maximum effort.

He made 121m in 17 minutes. Don’t care how the opposition were going, that’s impressive. And clearly why he got the nod for this week

 

[Pazza]

It would be good to see him play the whole season. Should be great for his conditioning

It's just maths, ask an asian

Do u know any?

He's off contract i believe

If he averaged 100m or more in 20 mins and around 10-15 tackles with no more then 1 miss then I would agree.

Go Hell for leather for 20 and then off. Simple job. Run as hard as you possibly can and tackle everything that runs in front of you that's carrying a ball. Just bust a gut for the full 20 mins on game day and then job well done and off.

Simple game for a big burly forward really, just fitness and attitude needs to be right.

Of course he is. Now that he is maybe coming good we lose him.

Every player comes good in their contract year

So are we affiliated with this in anyway? I hope so, it would be an amazingly positive initiative for our club and future talent spotting in Fiji and wouldn't cost much at all.

Considering that the Eels raped and pillaged their real estate at one point, this deserves a brief nod.

Anywho, they are going through the record books today because nobody can remember if/when they ever beat Uni in the history of rugby stuff.

 

[the phantom menace]

Surely we beat Uni in the year we con the comp in 1986, beating Randwick the week before our rugby league grand final (I think)?

Yeah dunno. I don't GAF enough. I did once upon a time when my brother played U21s with Jeff Perl who eventually played first XV for Two Blues and then the Eels for a few games.

A few years before that Don Price switched and waaay before that Tony Melrose.

Then of course we had Raymond Alan Price when I was at school.

Any more from the Two blues that I missed ?

 

[the phantom menace]

That Andrew Leeds fella did ok too.

Yes of course.

Makka reckons he had a catch up with fam in Auckland. I don’t see it.

Great analysis:

Shows how shit Hodgson, Blake, Simonsson and Dunster are. Funny enough 3 of the 4 are on the shit list. Mahoney is shit too.

Parramatta’s possession ponzi scheme is becoming unsustainable - The Rugby League Eye Test

Friday night’s game against Brisbane was always going to be a test for the Parramatta Eels. Facing the competition leaders in Darwin on a short turnaround was always going to be tough, but the Eels made it tougher on themselves with simple errors and were obviously exhausted early. If you want...

Which one isn't on the list... and why not?

Maybe Dunster hasn't played enough yet to earn a spot.
