NRL NRL Round 1, 2026 Discussion

Not sure where else to put this but Kalani Going and Freddy Lussick named on the interchange for the Panthers I see. Going is in Jersey 17 - not sure how significant that is but could indicate he's a good chance of seeing game time. I imagine Lussick at 19 may be more of an injury cover selection.
Good to see a few of our boys that were blocked getting opportunities elsewhere.

Highlights our depth!
 
Crosby not starting.

Sack Cleary!
Rugby league Guru had an interesting take on Crosby/Going a while back that I think is really interesting. Maybe all this back and forth recruitment wise between us and penrith is part of some development arrangement between us and Penrith. Crosby and Going get some experience at Penrith and Jett continues his development for us and when the time is right they return back to their original clubs as better players.

Webster and Cleary have such a good relationship that I agree there would be communication and recommendations between the two clubs, but I don't think it's that deep.

Sounds like fan theory 2+2=5.

Going is 29, not sure what developing he is going to do over the next year or two that's going to lead to us wanting him back over the forwards we have coming through.

Going is perfect for Penrith because he's a tackle machine!

he might be 29, but if he gets some game time at Penrith he will become a better player if he comes back to us at some pt. League is becoming a bit more like yawnion now where players are able to continue playing until well into their mid-30s. He still has quite a few more years in his legs if his NSW cup form from last year is anything to go by.
 
Besides the sin binning it's been a good start from the Eels.

Managed to get a turn over on that Storm attacking set. Then managed to score while down a man.

They look a lot better than the same game last year. Hopefully tha doesn't come back to bite me and I wake up and they have been pumped boy 40.
