Kieran Foran has stopped going to Eels rehab sessions and has been stripped of the captaincy, fined $5000 and issued with a breach notice (3 of those and you're sacked). Please get well Kieran :(

That's not good. Poor bastard. He's had a hell of a year.

Part of me thinks that there's some big gently caress up by Parra in the background of all of this. Foran's a good person going through an incredibly rough time.

Rumour mill has stated that Trent Hodkinson could play for England in time for the Four Nations, due to "Look Let's Just Get Some Form Of Internationals Happening, Okay?" rules.

Bennett is apparently also considering both Morriseses because, y'know, rugby league international rules.

Knowing Rugby League his eligibility is probably based off something like that his ancestors arrived from England on the First Fleet. :ssh:

His weren't too bad (think his dad was English?) The Morris brothers were "well they both played for Australia at a senior level but their grandma is English and their mom lived there until she was 18 plus, y'know, look at their backs."

This Semi Radradra story just keeps getting weirder. He still isn't back from Fiji, but supposedly has told the club he'll be back in time for Sunday's game. And now his ex has applied for an AVO against him.

Semi Radradra is on a plane flying from Fiji to Australia. Jarryd Hayne is on the same plane.

Radradra is denying that he kicked his ex in the stomach when she was nine months pregnant.

Someone tell me when we've reached peak Parra.

I almost hated the Tigers enough one night so that after a few drunken rants bdc offered to buy me the new name "Burn Down Campbelltown".

I slept on it and apparently wasn't quite angry enough to go through with it.

quote:

The Parramatta Eels have been made aware of charges laid against Semi Radradra this morning by the NSW Police.

"This is a serious matter and the club is treating it as such," Parramatta Eels director Geoff Gerard said.

"In accordance with our club's values, Semi will be afforded the presumption of innocence, and we will continue to provide him and his family with all the support and welfare services we have available.”

"The club will work closely with the relevant authorities and be open with the NRL Integrity Unit throughout this process."

The Eels remain committed to promoting education, counselling and support around the issue of family violence, both publicly and within the Eels organisation.

The club will not be making any further comment about this matter.

That length of the field try he scored feels like it was months ago so much has happened, instead of a fortnight.

It was forward enough to deserve a penalty.
