Eels supporters have given the nod to Clint Gutherson to be given the mantle of sole captain for the 2019 season, with Nathan Brown the second elect.
Mitchell Moses also had his share of support with those wanting a player in the spine to take charg
As 1Eyed Eel moves into its 16th year of providing a voice to Parramatta Eels supporters, we’d like to wish everyone a very happy New Year.
I’m really excited about what’s in store for the site in 2019. The last year was a particularly busy one for m
For the past five years, Corey Norman has been the fulcrum of the Parramatta Eels. Without question, his time at the Eels has had its ups and downs, but on balance, he’s been a valued contributor to the club who has improved significantly during hi
Young Eels hooker Reed Mahoney says the Eels have had a greater emphasis on ball work during this pre-season.
“We’ve done plenty of footy, obviously the way we went last year, our footy wasn’t up to NRL standard and we’ve had a bit emphasis on rea
As we head into Christmas, we here at 1Eyed Eel would like to wish all Eels fans a very Merry Christmas.
And we thought we'd bring you what we've asked Santa for on behalf of the Parramatta Eels coming into the 2019 season.
1. MITCHELL MOSES UPGRADE
The days of the heavily structured rugby league team seem over and it seems the style of play is morphing into a collection of open play with a loose structure.
This is something the Eels were caught out in during the 2018 season. Completion rates we
Given that rumours have been circulating since midway last year that Corey Norman was on the outer at Parramatta, the five-eighths departure comes as no surprise.
What might - or should - surprise is news of Norman’s salary - $900,000+ if media repor
Welcome to the new 1Eyed Eel.
This is a long overdue facelift for the site, but more so it's an upgrade to the technology underpinning the site that will allow us to implement some key changes to the way the site operates.

Bevan French's NRL career may need to be reborn following the start the Eels have had this season, with many of the plaudits going to Parramatta's back three of Clint Gutherson, Blake Ferguson and Maika Sivo.
The back trio have all had outstanding starts to 2019, with them totalling a whopping 2,300 running metres between them so far. All three are in the top 21 metre eaters and are the only back three of any club to appear in the top 21. For context, not a single…
The dust has settled following the Friday night clash against the Roosters with the Eels going down 32-18.
It's time to go over the five big talking points of the match.

The Parramatta Eels have gone down to the Sydney Roosters 32-18 at ANZ Stadium on Friday night.
It was the first loss for the Blue and Golds in the 2019 season, but a performance that signalled they're a different team to the wooden spooners of 2018.
While most pundits expected an improved performance from the Eels, few predicted the battle they would hand the reigning Premiers and World Champions.
Parramatta lost Tepai Moeroa in the warm-up, forcing…
Parramatta Eels lock Nathan Brown is the first pectoral tear casualty of the 2019 season. It's an injury that can see players sidelined for up to 14 weeks and has also become more prevalent in recent seasons.
Across 2017 and 2018, 19 players went down with pec tears.
The injury itself isn't a tear in the pectoral muscle, it's a tear in the tendon that connects the muscle to the upper arm. If the injury occurs at the muscle-end of the tendon, recovery is…
