It's ok, we had Lee Oudenryn a couple of years later.
And then Shane Whereat, then EGJ...
In full flight they were delights to watch.
EG and EGJ are 2 of my favourite wingers to play for the club. EGJ was extremely strong and quick...Semi was something else. Those length of the field tries and those long runs were breathtaking.
When he got in the clear see you later.
His highlights reels are brilliant

I was at the Dragons win, but can't remember the last Eels win I attended before that.

I was at the Easter Tigers loss last year and the Melbourne finals loss in 2017. Before that I was at Parra Stadium when Manly belted us in 2013. Before that it was the 2011 loss in Melbourne. I reckon the last win I attended was when we smashed the Storm in 2010. Fifteen years between drinks ffs. Seen some wins on telly but, as well as the Nines in Perth about five years ago.
That win against Melbourne in 2010 was the most enjoyable club game I've ever seen. (On telly.)

You need to protect the players head one for their own well being and two for future law suits.

The problem is how do they detract players from continuing to do that

The game is faster, the players bigger and have the ability to offload so around the legs doesn't always cut it . It was simple but the players have put grown that simple game. It's probably why gridiron has so much padding and helmets
That doesn't stop them from getting brain injuries.

The difference between panthers this season and recent seasons is they aren't getting the 50/50 calls anymore.....things that make you go hmmm
Not sure what the problem is atm but defence has fallen off (too many inexperienced players?) and Cleary not playing well. Thinking too much about Mary perhaps?

Ffs you're the bad luck charm. Just stop attending games and we'd win more. Simples!

Hey mate I’m going to Magic Round looking forward to it.

With Kelma out 3 weeks will Kautoga move back to right edge?

Anyone know how they trained today?

Just trying to get insight for my NRL Fantasy side as Kautoga scores better on the right.

Adrian Proszenko said yesterday on 2GB that Flanagan is considering putting Gutho to 6 and Sloan to 1 even as early as next game.

Also mentioned that the Top 30 might become Top 25 to help expansion teams coming in.

Top 25 😂 that's going to inflate players prices if they have the same salary cap as well as cause all clubs to struggle with development.

It's irrelevant if their prices are inflated. Bringing in an extra team (increasing demand for players) will do this anyway if there is no corresponding increase in the supply of players.

But reducing the mandatory squads from 30 to 25 will significantly offset the demand, at least for fringe players.

What...

13/25 is shared alot less than 13/30 ffs..

Extra team doesn't mean an increase for Ayers you still need to fit 30 players in your cap or you go bust ..

So, what you're saying is that we'll be only paying 25 merkins to masquerade as footballers as opposed to 30.
