Mmm, ok.

So by you naming 2 centres I can gauge how many hookers and edge forwards should be in an ideal squad of 30 players.

Cool.

Do you want me to do the f**king work for you?

Go have a look at their roster and come up with the quantities..

Our left edge of Asi, Talagi and Tago are really stretching it playing NRL, their spacing and speed in defence was exposed in that last 10 minutes. Dylbro played on the right and that was evident with that side remained solid.

Simmonson would have been a big positive last night, but again the failure of the genius in recruitment to actually sign backline players was exposed. The forwards did their job again.Seemed like the ref got on the let’s watch the comeback rather than see the fairly obvious infractions.

The Panfers toothless morons come on here to gloat when they played a team minus 11 players and forced to play part timers, and they probably wonder why they are regarded as smug dickheads.

As I walked out of the stadium last night, there was an all in 6 guy punch up. It was clear from the shocked Eels fans who instigated it.

34 points against Penrith most points we have scored against them since 2010.

There defence will want to improve to win the comp again we scored some soft tries but I reckon they do miss Edwards controlling the defence line.

He is probably there most important player structullay. They seem to cover Cleary pretty well and when he comes back he lifts them up 4 gears.

Fisher-Harris as well. Dogshit in attack, but there isn’t a better middle defender.

Player manager Isaac Moses is refusing to publicly guarantee his superstar halfback Mitchell Moses will see out his two-year contract at Parramatta Eels.
On Friday, we exchanged a number of text messages and chatted on the phone to Moses about speculation the Origin halfback was seeking a release from the club.

I kept asking him … “Can you guarantee Mitchell will stay for two years?”

At no stage would he confirm Moses would see out his contract, even on or off the record.

SHOOSH

It’s not all bad news at the Parramatta Eels. Their very talented centre/winger Bailey Simonsson is on the verge of signing a new three-year contract

FFS, it's not up to Isaac or Mitchell to decide if he sees out his current contract. It is up to the club to agree to release him from his legally binding contract, if he requests it.

* a squad of 30 and not 26

I think this isn’t the problem some merkins think it is. In any squad, only the top 15-20 actually matter. The rest are nuffies no better than a hundred other nuffies who miss out on top 30 contracts. So the 26 man squad might have a dozen nuffies, while the 30 man squad would just have four extra. It’s not any stronger. If you need more nuffies due to being smashed with injuries, you can get more any time.

As usual you reply to make a statement that has no relevance, commenting about next year has nothing to do with the team fielded yesterday.
The reason Simmonson was mentioned was basically he was our quickest and best performing 3/4 until injury. Stop being so annoying for no reason other to be contrary and talk yourself up.

In that case we have two of four starting outside backs unavailable this year. As for last night’s performance, we also had Moses missing from our right edge, and Drown therefore missing from the left. Harper is a better defender than Talagi and he was available for selection.

As usual you are whinging about a problem out of our control (injuries) and making out about your pet hate Mark O’Neill.

If Harper played we might not have had the 14 point lead since Talagi is a waaaaay better attacking player.
