The R15 King's Birthday clash against the Bulldogs marks Arthur's reign as the Eels' longest-serving coach (244 games); over-taking the renowned Brian Smith.
No doubt Arthur would have some pride in the Eels' resurgence over the last two weeks wit
It was a Statement Win, against all odds.
After being written off by most of the rugby league world, the injury-hit Eels' upset the high-flying, competition leaders Souths. Bashing the competition favourites and leaders, 36-16. Dominating. Most expe
He may bear some resemblance to a mature, Alan Walker, sans-mask, but José Antonio Fortea Cucurull, or simply Father Fortea is a Spanish priest and renowned exorcist. He also wrote Summa Daemoniaca. Some kind of exorcist manual.

After a disappointing 26-24 loss to the Titans in Magic Round, and the loss of Moses for R11 to concussion protocols, desperate times are near for the 13th-placed Eels.
The 9th-placed Raiders start favorites ($1.65 to $2.25) and are gathering some st
The Titans haven't beaten the Eels for over 6 years. Not since round 3, 2017 (26-14, at CBUS).
The Eels are on a record 7-game winning roll over the Titans. Our best current winning-streak against any club (next best is 6-straight against the Knights
The Eels have the wood on the Novocastrians, but the Knights are showing more courage and grit in battle this year. Whether they sustain this or collapse in a heap is another thing.
Both own real estate in the bottom-half-of-the-table and will be de

The high-flying Broncos are top dogs at the Penthouse heading into round 8 and warm favorites ($1.64-$2.27) at TI
After an ugly, limping-badly to the finish-line win against the fired-up Tigers, we are warm favourites to account for the Dogs ( $1.52 to $2.55 on Sportsbet).
Statistically, we had no right to win that game. 43% possession. 1,963m to our 1,491m. 1
We have the best record against the Tigers over the last six years, say from 2017, than any other club: winning 10 of the last 12 (83.3%). The next best is against the Dogs (9 of the last 12 at 75%).
But who can forget last year's round-six Easter de
A picture tells a thousand words. The emotion tells us far more.
And so, last night, what a bounce-back win for the Eels against the Panthers in a golden point thriller it was.
Backs to the wall, under pressure, largely written off, and under fire
A grand final rematch, that feels somewhat of an anti-climax after the Eels' dismal 0-3 start; their third-worst start in NRL history. Rightfully so, the Panthers are hot favourites at $1.35 to $3.25. Can the Eels stay in the game and finally find a
No one knew how important the collapse of the Colchester wall, in the summer of 1648 during the English Civil War, would prove for generations of children. Unfortunately, the wall where Humpty Dumpty (the King's cannon) sat, collapsed because of the
Last night was disappointing. Despite some positives, we were rusty in our 16-12 golden-point loss to the Storm. It's time to make amends next week against the heavyweight Sharks.
We also haven't lost two straight in the regular season since 2021 (lo
Tomorrow night it all begins. The 2023 season opener. Can the new Storm ambush the new us, or will we end their 18-year streak continuing our winning ways over them?
It's Time. To create history. Will the Eels finally break the longest drought in NRL history (36 years) or will the Panthers become only the second team to win back to back in NRL history and done only once before this century (Roosters 2018-19)?
Th
The Eels were ultra-impressive in their 40-4 demolition of the Raiders where the Eels played one of their best games of the season, bouncing back from last week's implosion against the Panthers.
But now, they face a daunting challenge.

The Eels host the maurading Raiders with everything on the line, as the two clubs meet for the first time in a finals series.
Can the Eels break a 13-year hoodoo to progress past week two to a preliminary final (first time since 2009')?

The reigning premiers will look to remind the resurgent Eels who Rules The West and prick their bubble. The Eels celebrate Junior's 200th & have had a renaissance of late. Are the Eels the real deal or set to disappoint long-suffering fans yet again?
Round 23 couldn't have been more different for these two clubs if they played on Mercury.
The Eels recorded their biggest win of the season, a 42-6 36-point thumping of the listless Dogs to get their mojo back for two consecutive halves - something t
After yet another largely soul-less 0-26 slaughter at the hands of the rampant Rabbits, some Eels' fans might well be asking, "Can things get much worse?" Clearly, they can. None of us should forget what the Bulldogs (then 16th) did to us on Black Mo
