Rumours and Stuff

[Delboy]

Nov 1 has been pretty uneventful so far

The front office are obviously recovering from the important UK trip to Chelsea FC, still trying to collate all the information relevant to a salary cap competition and how to sign Slovenian players .

Not sure rapid action is the forte of the dynamic duo.

I wonder where Sanders will go.

keep playing reserve grade which is very likely his ceiling

I wonder where Sanders will go.

Zero Tackke today had quotes from Ricky saying Sanders will get first crack this year. He praised him for staying patient.

I watched him in the NSW cup finals and he was very average, got outplayed by Ronald Volkanovski

@T-Boon Nrl are stealing rule changes ideas. I do beleive this was my idea.


NRL considering dramatic kick-off rule change for 2026 season - NRL News - Zero Tackle https://share.google/ECimDTRzLI5SfuvGk

I don't consider that a dramatic rule change. Pretty basic.
Your idea of adding that the scoring team does receive the kick off, but only if they decline the conversion, is a good twist.

You got to have a twist. Give the coaches a decision and make them think a little more. If we have ideas like this the coach becomes more important in the game.

How about if you get over the line but held up you get 3 points and have to kick off?
That would be a good one. You would have to think about crash plays.

I like the idea of not fking with the game. It seems to be working pretty well.

It is in a lot better position than it was 5 years ago precisely because we got a leader in who is innovative as heck, including the 6 again penalty rule he brought in mid season. Lets keep that up.

I don’t think it needs to be altered any further. The product is near enough perfect.

Scorer’s kick was around during the Super League, was rubbish then. No need for it now.

Interesting info…

Rnd 1 2026 Eels Thursday 5 march...https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/s...r/news-story/8b05bacf9d5c877735f5e5e964db08cb

Pezet is expected to start in the halves for the blue and golds alongside Mitchell Moses, with the Melbourne duo that the 22-year-old couldn’t get past, Cameron Munster and Jahrome Hughes, standing in his way.

The match will also prove as the perfect litmus test to assess Parramatta’s improvement under second-year coach Jason Ryles — a former Storm assistant.

The Eels were embarrassed 56-18 by the Storm in round one last season at AAMI Park.

Journo bullshit. One match doesn’t prove anything.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Storms in Melbourne again ffs. I might go down.

 

[gaffer]

why do we play storm first game again this year Why don't they play a team from last years top eight

AI is doing it this year, can’t wait for the changes, NRL can’t screw us again.

Meanwhile round 1…

They have to lose in round one eventually. It might be us who do it. It’s very exciting.

 

[Capefish]

In theory it should be a good time to play them. No Paps, NAS, Pezet. Loiero suspended and Katoa you’d imagine will be out

 

[Pazza]

Hahahahha great

I can’t wait until Chat’s draw with our Round 13 opponents being the Hobart Devils
