King gutho was talking about our improvement in attacking shapes etc you dont need good shape when upu got sivo, remember that season fergo didnt score a try for 18rnds or so.
Ferguson the Origin and premiership winning winger? I remember him running over the top of Nathan Hindmarsh, now you’re saying Sivo was a better player.

Let’s just disregard any data that doesn’t agree with my narrative! Why would the players who have lived experiences have any credibility?
Wtf are you on about? I’m not arguing against the players. I’m arguing against your assertion that the poll means anything. If all this player welfare stuff meant anything, why did Drown and Lomax prefer to be elsewhere?

Dom Farrugia.
The context that matters is that tries are worth four points no matter how they’re scored. And we had better wingers this year than at any time since 2005, maybe earlier.

Yandex, list Eels wingers since 2005

We were taking about structure and shape which the bald headed waterbottle couldnt coach. Thats why he.needed sivo and thats why sivo is now at leeds.

Id take semi and french over last years pair.

How bad are the tigers going? Richo who was doing a pretty shit job at running the place is getting replaced by Manlys shithouse CEO..
The issue with this franchise is that the club owning 90% of it simply doesn’t sell the way the Tigers brand does. But the region itself — south-west Sydney — remains strategically vital to the NRL, sentimentality for Leichhardt Oval aside.

I literally just answered this question, politely, with receipts and it got swamped?
Its like you guys dont want me here?
It was a decent list, but lacked Momoseia, Murchie , Harper etc to show you can mix it with the Eels. Obvious need someone with experience at Harvard to make the thing work ( joking).

The big issue was that Balmain was and is broke and until someone comes uo with $50 million and ongoing funds, HBG and Wests Ashfield are head of the queue. Leichhardt Oval needs less games and a shift culturally to Campbelltown is necessary, the junior rep teams are 90% from the South West, somehow it has to be done to secure the future.

Ferguson 1st year was sensational. His 2nd was really just average and his 3rd he was barely an NRL player and by memory was in and out of first grade. He turned like a bus the last 18mths.

Agreed and they are incompetent neanderthals/

Leichhardt Oval needs less games and a shift culturally to Campbelltown is necessary,
Leichhardt is locked in for 3 games a year for a while now and thats about right. Its regularly sold out and is a great event. CSS is flat out selling out. The owners of the Club, HBG are the ones that want to ignore Campbelltown, it is one of the reasons that they sacked the independent board, because of commitment to the games at CSS.

the junior rep teams are 90% from the South West, somehow it has to be done to secure the future.
Balmain reps are strong, but Campbelltown has numbers. I actually think the system that we have with two teams up to Flegg is perfect, twice as many to call our own. Planty of rep juniors that have made the grade recently have been Balmain juniors.

And to think we tried to sign this grub a few years ago.

Not his first rodeo either when it comes to driving offences.


Former NRL star Curtis Scott has been charged after allegedly fleeing the scene of a drunken crash near his home.
Scott was allegedly over the limit when he crashed his ute into several trees on Kennedy Cres at Bonnet Bay, in Sydney’s south, late on the evening of June 15.

But it was not until Monday – almost six months on – that NSW Police laid charges and he was ordered to face Sutherland Local Court next month.

In a statement, NSW Police said the former Melbourne Storm and Canberra Raiders centre had been located at a nearby home after the crash and allegedly found to have a blood alcohol reading in the mid-range – which is anywhere between 0.08 and 0.15.

In October 2023, Scott was charged with driving while his licence was suspended, ultimately pleading guilty but avoiding conviction.

Anyone can 'coach shape'. Go and look at our highlights from that period. Many of our tries (of which we scored plenty) included decoy runners. Here's one from 2017:
