[edit] Players of Note
I've been working on expanding and improving this page over the past couple of days - not finished yet obviously but I'm getting there. One thing I'd like to get some input on is what defines a "Player of Note"? Have other RL club pages resolved a definition for them? Is it any representative player? Or is it a completely subjective concept?
I have issues with the current players that are listed under this heading (Tim Smith, Fui Fui Moi Moi, Dean Widders, etc.) as it seems wrong that they are listed alongside players who are widely considered to be significant players of their generation. Any thoughts? -- User:CumberlandsAshes81 - 14 July 2006

- As an afterthought I guess the same goes for coaches of note as well. Is JT a 'coach of note'? Why not Cronin? If it's going to be just a list of coaches then it should be 'Coaches' along with their dates of tenure. If anyone feels like commenting on this go ahead -- User:CumberlandsAshes81 - 14 July 2006

- I've been going through the "player of note" sections of several other clubs, and I came across similar problems: current players who have not achieved the same level as their predecessors do not deserve a spot on there. I've borrowed a template developed by Tiburon, and they look far neater. Perhaps "players of note" should include Test, state, and players with 200+ first grade appearances - what do you think?--Alexio 10:15, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

- Agreed. There should be some kind of threshold for who is a player of note. I think that players of note are Representative players (State of Origin, Internationals - though not City/Country). Generally, players who have played 200+ games have represented their State or Country? User:CumberlandsAshes81 - 22 August 2006

THE EELS RULE!
[edit] Club Song
Sung to the tune of Australian folk song Click go the Shears, this Club song was written in 1974:
- We Are The Eels
- You'll hear a tremendous roar go up as Parra take the field
- Just look at the blue and gold of the mighty Eels
- They’re running out the victors strong and kicking up their heels
- If you want to see how football's played then go and see the Eels.
- Quick goes the ball from man to man
- They're strong in the tackle and sure with their hands
- They play it hard and fast, that's the only way to win
- And when they boast a try you should hear the fans all sing.
- Good onya Parra you're brave and bold
- You're fighting fit, true blue and worth your weight in gold
- And when we see the other side slowly start to yield
- We raise our voices to the sky and glorify the Eels.
- In the 1980s another song was recorded by Australian singer and Eels fan Jon English and We are the Eels fell into disuse. However, the original song was revived in the late 1990s and is now used as a victory song after home matches. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mdmanser (talk • contribs) 10:39, 3 April 2007 (UTC).

- Where should this 'culture' content go? I note there's a seperate page for the Bulldogs song. There is another Eels song that can be added to go alongside this. CumberlandsAshes81 14:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
