Eels 2017 preview.

Burning Questions?1. Can Corey Norman stay out of strife off the field?2. Can Nathan Brown stay out of strife on the field?3. Is Bevan French a one-season wonder?4. Will the fans embrace ANZ stadium or will it feel like a morgue at most home games?New Eel goes old school!!!At times during 2016, The Nathan Brown Fan Club could have held a meeting in a phone box, such was the disdain for the fiery Rabbitoh and the havoc he was wreaking.Branded a lunatic by some commentators after a groun stomp on Gold Coast's Agnatius Paasi in round 13 and a late tackle on Tigers playmaker Mitchell Moses only a week later, Brown found himself Public Enemy No. 1.Whatever you make of Brown's methods, they were good enough to win him a City Origin jersey for the annual showdown with Country origin in Tamworth.Peter Wynn says.. "He's only young, so it's a good time to get a good prop. He was one of Souths' top-liners in 2016 and the Eels a very lucky to get him. He looks a pretty big unit and when he is fit and at his best he's going to be a force."The fact he has a bit of heritage as a local junior [Fairfield] and has a bit of Blue and Gold in his veins will make him even more popular with fans."Bernie Gurr is delighted with Parra's recruits and says the vibe at the club is extremely positive.It was a tough season for the club in 2016 but this is a new Parramatta and we want to repay the fans for their loyalty," Gurr says.Read more in Rugby League Week magazine Season Preview!!

  • Too scared to comment.  Don't want to contribute to any curse!

  • I think it a very positive vibe at the club at the moment. Bernie Gurr has removed a lot of rubbish from the club & it's like a new beginning. Knowing Brad Arthur is only concentrating on the footy team is extremely refreshing for all involved.
  • It took us 3 years to get rid of all the rubbish at the club, both on field and off.

    The good times are ahead as we enter the age of the Eel.

  • Lots of depth equals lots of competition for first grade . Wenty will be really strong

"I wonder if the have Lomax on Right and move Penisini to left. Penisini is a Centre that can adapt, where Lomax has the pass that has him needed on the right.
But I think Lomax would be happy as long as it is Centre in a good team."

" We needed lomax before Talagi came on the scene. If a crystal ball would show us Blaize turns out to be an excellent centre, we would not be chasing Lomax.
Would Blaize hang around for 2 seasons to cement a FG spot?
Lomax would be worth every penny…"
