Eels in the media

[Incorrect]

Personally, I think we're going to get a reaming or three in the first half of the season. But for some reason I can deal with that far more than what's been served up by the Eels in quite some time. I expect to see quite the amount of blood letting on here as well.

I dunno. I'm cautiously optimistic at this stage. Getting the Storm away in Round 1 might be the best thing for us. The Storm will be pumped. If we can stay within 16 with some of the outs we'll have, I reckon we can build on that.

No I didn’t. Herman Munster is no NRL merkin’s nickname. And you reckon everyone else knew who you were talking about. That’s because you changed your story in an instant. But but but I meant Collins!!!

Everyone knew he was talking about Collins and the way he took the bomb over teddy in origin. You just missed the joke.

If we pull one out of our arses and manage to beat the Storm round 1, it would be a massive confidence boost.

Half of Parramatta will be buying GF tickets if we beat the storm in round 1.

22 years of stats says that's quite unlikely. Yes' it's possible but I wouldn't put a pineapple on it.

Was it Ryles who said they are due

I’m not sure. Off the cuff, do you think we’ll beat the Storm at home with the imposing Round 1 track record that they have?

We're a chance its not like Melbourne actually blow teams away in round 1. There average winning margin is 9.28

They haven't won 13+ since 2018.

3 of there 1st round wins in the 21 years under Bellamy have been golden point wins.

Including the one at commbank 2 x years ago. Which really we should have won.

Rd 1 under Bellamy
