Rumours and Stuff

[JokerEel]

Thanks for the wishes guys. 44 today but feeling very lucky to be happy and healthy and be surrounded by like minded Eels tragics!

Happy birthday you sexy thing

An example of how our R&R team lack vision etc, the Raiders have consistently found gems either in UK or even other clubs, our so called gurus can’t hold on to our own juniors.

Matto Nicholson looks like a strike second rower found in SuperLeague, how good would it be for our club to find players that good to strengthen our forwards.

Given the credentials of our R&R team, why do you think they struggle to sign these gems?

Finding a hooker in a brothel or on a footy field is not exactly his job though, is it?

Quite a few of our coaching staff have a background in/experience in rugby union. Not much quality available on the market for next season in the NRL, any chance we try and entice a player or two to switch codes? Warbrick goes well for the Storm (played a bit of reserve grade before getting his spot), the centre from the roosters is good and the guy the titans signed showed promise in Q cup before his injury. I don't watch much rugby but there must be some players that could make the jump.
At the moment it feels like next year will be another rebuild year while we wait for our crop of juniors to come through, unless we can make some quality signings.

I noticed in the TCT podcast that they were not happy with the other peanuts who I cannot listen to. Apparently they posted an April Fools podcast or something saying Moses was back next week and they were told thousands of Eels fans fell for it…

I can’t quite workout how they split their allegiances between two podcasts? Aren’t they both ambassadors, both sponsored by the leagues club??

Surely this town ain’t big enough for 2 Parra podcasts closely aligned with the club? Lol

 

[eels_fan]

They just put a post up on April fools day saying Moses had recovered and would play.

if anyone bought into it, I guess it’s on them.

Anyone that’s been alive and online in the last 10 years knows to take a anything posted on April 1 with a grain of salt (and April 2 for us as we cop all the US stuff the next day)

will storm players be ducking into tackles to exploit this new head high in the bin rule

I think Parra should look at signing Jock Madden. He is handy. He is probably injured.

He is garbage. Debuted in 2021 and only played 32 first grade games. He struggles to defend in the QLD cup .

I don't care about or watch defense.
He is a good player.

He’s not even very good in qld cup

If you watch queensland cup you've made some bad life choices

He's got a cool name...

Madden has played 2 QLD cup games this year, made 31 tackles and missed 10.......

Sounds like he would fit in well with our defensive structures then.

Missing tackles is a part of wrestle/martial arts defense. If you arent missing them it is concerning.
