Rumours and Stuff

[the phantom menace]

To counter all the overheated nonsense of the last few pages, the real point is if we go into 2024 with the same backline as 2023 we will again have a tough year.

Very true.

I’ll wait for Pou to inform us all that it’s resources or similar rather than knowing what’s needed

Lol, sadly also very true.

Didn’t we get knocked out week 1 in 2002?

Yeah and in 2006 stupid site had it as qualifying final...

2002 we came 6th.

7th place must have won that weekend

Under the old McIntyre system

What if we had the same backline as 2022?

We might jag a grand final and get destroyed again....

Yea...dragons beat someone....massive boilover

Wow very similar. It looks like the big difference was the resources Gould brought to the club in 2012. They have exploded in the last decade.

He did alot of work in the background for the 9 seasons he was there getting all the programs in place..

They worked with all the local club coaches to ensure correct coaching was in place.

Something similar to what the Eels are now doing with all their local clubs it seems..

The Panthers made the Finals 4 times to our 2 in that time and we took home 3 wooden spoons to their Duck Egg..

Anyway back on track…

Nene MacDonald is returning to Australia. Maybe.

Do we gamble? He did a bit of a Semi (went home then didn’t return to Leeds).
I always thought he was at least a decent metre eater

 

[Poupou Escobar]

His actual name is Janene.

KelmaTuilagi confirmed.

The Parramatta Eels are please to announce the signing of Kelma Tuilagi!

Only took the Eels madia 3 times to get the post right!

Just compare Premierships won in that period. If you ain’t first you’re last.

Pou did that in his post thats why I didn't add it.

Glad we have signed someone who wears their hair up in a ponytail - havent had that since Gutho cut and then shaved his man bun and I think it is critical to winning a GF that at least one player has long hair.

Just another dose of bad luck then.

From memory we probably weren't going to go far in 02 if we survived another week.

With McFadden and Dykes in the halves.

Would be funny if he ended up better than the Tigers back rowers in 2024... Ill say its almost likely he will!

We also lost our two main hookers about 4 weeks out from the finals (Drew and Irvine) and had to debut Hollingsworth for the last 5 games so of the year... more bad luck I reckon.

In the grand final Penrith Lost Luai for most the 2nd half. Tago for last 15 and Yeo and Sorrenson for HIAs.
Good sides overcome bad luck

I’m blaming O’Neill

What an embarrassment that our marketing dept went to all the effort of photoshopping a player into our jersey - and used the wrong player.

this is Olakau’atu….

like seriously… they noticed and pulled it down once people had called it out, but it’s too late by then.
