Eels in the media

[T.S Quint]

yeah - but I am still enjoying the nostalgic games Fox are playing at the moment. The other night we played the dogs with most of the above players - and won! No idea how. I think Kusto was halfback as well!

Yeah, I've enjoyed a couple of the old games as well. Haven't had much time to watch many, but I caught a couple.
Saw an old Canberra v Manly game from 1993 which was very good.
Also a Manly v Dogs game from 1992. Terry Lamb was just awful but still managed to score 3 tries. I f**ken hate that guy.

Two men involved in a dramatic arrest in Centennial Park last week have been charged with the supply of almost one tonne of cocaine, carrying an estimated street value of $360 million.

Aukuso Junior Paulo, 34, from Crows Nest, and Kigi Kamuta, 39, from The Ponds, were two of three men arrested while travelling with two semi-automatic weapons and $650,000 in cash, during a planned police operation in the eastern suburbs park.

A third man, Royce Royal Hura, 27, was also arrested at the scene.

Both Mr Hura and Mr Paulo are former players of the Parramatta Eels rugby league club.

Foxsports 2018 predictions have Moses debuting for NSW (then says maybe bc it could be Cleary) and French top try scorer.

81, 82 and 83 grand finals now on Fox, followed by the others I suppose.
Currently half time in 81. The best is yet to come.

After I put shit on the NRL for their stats revamp on their official site, they have come out with a pretty interesting article: https://www.nrl.com/news/2017/12/25/parramatta-eels-2017-season-by-the-numbers/

Agreed. Some take homes for me.

1. We have a better long kicking game than I thought (would have had us below average). Definitely the Moses effect.

2. Gutho's support play is immense. We lose a lot of that if he ends up in the centres in 2018.

3. I would have expected Radradra to be in our top 3 most error prone but to see how far ahead he was of everyone else was a slight shock. He was equal most error prone in the league!

As much as everyone was up in arms about him going, a more consistent replacement (less errors, but less moments of brilliance) may result in 'no net loss' or even an improvement.

4. Tim Mannah gets bagged but he is still reasonably effective at drawing defenders (Gutho could do worse than to follow him). He is no Burgess though.

All in all, when you look at how middle of the road all of our stats are we did very well to finish in the Top 4. Clearly, we are playing well together as a team and that is a good thing.
