Eels in the media

[Poupou Escobar]

Case closed

One of the most iconic moments of the last few years and he's got NFI

Like I said, 'iconic moments' tell us little about a player. They are shiny objects to sell advertising and stick in dopes memories.

Crazy how Mitch Moses is no longer a downhill skiier after two Origin games behind a dominant pack. Iconic moments ffs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You ever watched a rugby league game??

not everything is reflected in a stats sheet…

That's what I'm telling you. Edwards has amazing stats.

 

[the phantom menace]

Judging a player on one game is worth even less than judging him on half a season. Anyone can have their worst game at any time. Or their best.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well that was a massive anti climax..

Apologies I don't remember pointless Origin games as well as you dopey primary school merkins. Iconic f**ken moment ffs!!!

 

[the phantom menace]

As opposed to the moronic moments, every time Pou makes a post on here...

Can’t wait to see how he twists this???? No matter what it will be very exciting!!

Lindsay Collins no doubt was carried by his team mates.....he stats line tells it all lol

He's just lucky.

Eels fans certainly think so. I'd say only Price deserves it. One future immortal and a half dozen Origin class players should be enough to dominate a typical NRL season. If you can keep these merkins together for a few years you have a dynasty.

Price, definitely. Kenny, probably. Cronin, close. But if Meninga can be an immortal, I guess anyone can.

This is all spot on - sterling has to be in the same conversation as Cronin

Oh and Guru with sterling as well

But Price was definitely the standout and Kenny very close behind

The Greatest Eel of all time is Ray Price. Won everything when he was here and nothing since he left.

I think Price should be in immortal considerations, there weren't many others like him at all in his position and role, let alone in his class including rep level.

I love Cronin, but given Meninga got the nod I can't see them putting in another centre from a similar/overlapping era.

I really love Sterling and think he deserves it - but also can't see them putting in many halfbacks in older eras now. Same probably applies to Kenny, as there was too much competition for their rep positions back in the day - Mortimer and Lewis, although I'll always rate our two higher.

Price, definitely. Kenny, probably. Cronin, close. But if Meninga can be an immortal, I guess anyone can.

Imo, there are two certainties:

Price, and Kenny.

Then, two players should be pretty close to Immortal status:

Sterling, and Cronin.

How neither Price, nor Kenny, are in the conversation, is beyond me.

Kenny was certainly in the conversation last time
