Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders

The drums have been beating long and loud on this one. Most league journos have talked lime it's been a done deal for 6 months. Will be stunned if it's not officially announced this week.

I'm still not sure how it could have all happened since we're not allowed to negotiate anything till now.

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Game Day

Well, we really struggled to ice that but a valuable two points and maybe a more valuable lesson for our young side than if we had thrashed them. Titans were always going to be up for it and tried hard but we really should have closed that earlier with the amount of possession and penalties we got....

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Game Day

Last week were were awesome spreading the ball and creating space for our outside backs. This week we continually turned it back inside and didn't get any decent ball to our wingers. We all know HSS can get lost in defense at centre. Can't remember really testing him at any stage.

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Game Day

Give plenty of credit to Titans defense. Been under the pump and they keep putting in. Let's see if they can sustain it.

If Raiders keep playing like we did in 1st half I think we're fine. It's been very disciplined . Have to maintain the positive attitude and not slack off.

Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders

i think it's pretty obvious at this point that the eels picked sanders in their top 30 this year as a last ditch effort to keep him and when it became obvious to them that he is gone they've chucked the toys out of the pram and are now refusing to pick him for first grade. Players don't get picked ...

Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders

And if that is the reason for their decisions I don’t think that’s unreasonable or spiteful It’s just the nature of the situation Why would they debut a guy and prioritise the development of a player leaving over a player in it for the long haul? I wouldn’t want us playing Ethan Strange in FG footb...

Possibly the most under rated cricketer of his generation too.
Consistent wicket taker and good for a few runs in the lower order. Not sure how he'd go as an edge back rower though.

That’s it! The coaches get paid too. This is a young player performing extremely well in areas that can’t be coach and struggling in very correctable areas So coach him up. Help him improve.

I’d kill a man for Wayde Egan God he’s improved out of sight over the last 18 months Exactly the type of player we need to try and find at 9. Absolute gun. The Warriors are a serious contender IMO. Egan, DWZ, CNK, Jackson Ford, even Mitch Barnett, have all been better players since the coaching of ...

Schiller's defensive issues can be rectified through coaching and experience. What he offers in attack are natural gifts that cannot be taught.

Ethan has showed tremendous signs of class for a very young half. Great work to upgrade and extend now. He should be paid very well and I think the money discussed is fine.

Attack looks anaemic without Cleary. Edwards always working hard. Tago looks threatening except they can't get him any decent ball.

Luai a total non-factor. How much are Tigers paying him?
