Eels in the media

[84 Baby]

My martial arts master's master who was involved in alot of challenge fights said that you should only aim to goto 80%.

If you try too much to achieve 100%, you tense and stress which actually affects your performance.

Looser talk

losing is not an option

Well my women often say I am quite priceless.

Quote of the day from this article

Brad Arthur would’ve spent most of 2023 tearing his hair out, if he had any left.

I am liking Shaun Lane's documentary. Footballers are stereotyped to be dumb but Shaun seems like a smart bloke. Not easy to do a psychology degree with football.

Actually, he's picking up his masters so he can practice as a clinical psychologist.

Gee that one reporter was keen for a response to the Leinu thing.

He asked all 3 Moses, Joffa and Matto about it and they all dead-batted it didn't even know he got 8 weeks haha.

Footy players getting life-changing money is a myth?

Huh...you know, now I think of it, we all earn over $500,000 per annum, anyway, so they're right...

Wtf???

i have said it before but gee i always see this awkwardness around Matto when he speaks.

Its just the a weird vibe.

At the start he is talking about how they are always pumped the battle of the west its a big rivalry.

Then 2 minutes later he says he isn't sure why the rivalry is so big.

He's a weird unit.

it's why he has no frens and sits alone

Yet he works in the disability sector and does more good in a month for our community than most of us do in a decade or lifetime.

He knows it's a big rivalry, but isn't sure why.

To be honest, it's a fair point - until recently, our only thing we had in common was that we were both representing Western Sydney.

In recent times, they've surpassed our achievements with a 20-year handicap on them, and it has reignited the rivalry.

But it sort of came out of nowhere - in the early 2000's, I don't recall a big fuss being made of the "Western Sydney derby" whenever we played Penrith.

A seemingly awkward speaker in front of the media for sure, but at the start his only mention of the "Battle of the West" was to to accuse the media ("you guys") of hyping it up. Later he mentions the fact there are former players so that can make it bigger but I didn't think he actually focused on it being a big rivalry match as much as Weidler did.

My favourite bit in the interview was "I prefer the middle and don't want to play on an edge".

I think Matto and Carty might be friends, if not then they do seem close at times.


This was during the celebration song in the sheds after the Dogs game.

Wasn't it that the panfers always thought we were the big brother and they were always in the shadows and we were stealing their juniors so that's why they hated us.

However, we didnt give 2 rats about them so we never thought it a rivalry until the 2022 GF.

I think there's a clip showing Reg saying that he HATES PARRAMATTA
