Draw

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.

Up in the swea

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')?

Will Moses pl

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

Rabbits look adorably cute. But behind that harmless bunny face - lurks something else. One that has beat us around, and skinned us alive over the last 5 games conceding almost 37ppg; to feed us to the bunny farm.

Friday night's R20 win over the Panthers 34-10 was almost as spectacular a miracle as when Moses last parted the Seas to temporarily free the long-suffering Holy Eels people from their multiple personality team in 2022. Here's some good news and some

Panthers are on top of the mountain. Daylight second. And we're at home, but up against it next Friday night. Ripe for another mauling? 

We've only won 1 from 5 games (20%) v the Panthers over the last two years. But to the surprise of many, we won t

A Thursday night Blockbuster.

Both are on 24 points and need the win to stay in the hunt for the all-important top four, especially the Eels with an inferior for and against.

The Eels have won only 1 of their last 4 Thursday night games. Contrarily,

Both teams had last wins over the Tigers, with the Eels winning ugly. And both are looking to record two-straight wins for the first time in three months since round 5, early April.

It's also been three years since the Eels met the Warriors at Commba

The Eels lost 12-30 against their bogey Souths last week. Not particularly surprising, but in doing so missing a golden opportunity to get closer to the all important top-four with an ordinary, middle-of-the-road performance against the resurgent Mit

It's been five years since we've beaten the Rabbits at Accor (R26, 2017; 22-16).

We have lost 6 of the last 7 against the Rabbits that have been our second biggest boogey (after the Roosters) since 2014.

It wouldn't surprise me if we see a much-impro

There’s a lot riding on this game. Both reams really need the win to stay anywhere near the top four, and for confidence as much as anything. The Roosters could even drop out of the eight, whilst how scarred the Eels are after last Monday’s mauling b

A win would see us win five-straight and break a 43 year record (not bettered since we won six straight 1977-1979) against the hapless Dogs whom are well positioned for back-to-back spoons.

Not many Eels fans, other than an individual who might be pa

After celebrating Ice's 100th with a hard-fought 28-20 win against Canberra in Canberra, the team gets a week off to recharge. It was a historic win on Indigenous Round on the back of courageous second-half defence. Defence with Soul.

We now have bac

This is a danger game against the on-fire, physical Raiders who outmuscled Souths and the Sharks in the last fortnight.

A win would see us do something we've not done for 22 years, win two straight against Canberra at Canberra.

Also, we have not won

It's The King's 150th NRL game. A real emotional game for the Blue and Gold's this Friday night.

Both Manly and Eels need to fight back after demoralizing losses last week.

The Eels have lost 3 straight against the Silvertails and haven't beaten them

We have lost 5 of the last 6 against the Roosters, and haven’t beaten them outside of Parramatta for 14 years. It’s also superstar Tedesco’s 100^th game for the Roosters. Can the Eels, fighting for consistency, create history, record back-to-back wins

Parramatta will need another 80 minute performance if they want to get on over the boys from Bondi.
