Game Day Blog R10 v Cowboys: The Townsville Graveyard (Guymer starts at Prop, Junior to Bench)

The odds are stacked against us.

The Cowboys have won six of their last seven. We’ve lost six of ours.

Townsville has been a slaugherhouse for the Eels this century. Since 2002, we have won 3 from our last 15 there. Even the 2001 side could only scr

Poppa's Corner: SCAPEGOATS..... A funny thing, you can say it with a cry in your voice!......The Parra Lament

Interesting questions have been raised (constantly) about our club and a SCAPEGOAT to blame.

Personally I am usually quick in seeing obvious problems and when you look at the period my experience covers, I have seen most of the things that only Parram

Game Day Blog R9 v Warriors: The Chase For Consistency (L36-14)

UPDATE: The Eels showed fight, but were never a chance given the amount of errors and ball-handling against a well-drilled, strong and atheletic side like the second-placed Warriors. With 70% (29/41) v 86% (38/44) completion rates, you're losing a

Thirteeen Minutes

Trauma snowballing syndrome and the urge to blow things up isn’t just something buried in human DNA. It's now rebranded as “high standards". Forty Years can do that. Sometimes, all it takes is a few minutes.

But let’s park the emotion for a minute.

Game Day Blog R8 v Manly: Back-to-Back Or Back to Reality? (L33—18)

UPDATE: Review of the Game lost in 13 minutes.

Last week, the Parramatta Eels showed they can win with controlled rage and a plan.

This week, they’re up against it again. History says so. Form says so. The bookies say so. The venue says so. “Fozball

Game Day Blog R7 v Dogs: The M*A*S*H Unit (UPSET W38-20 WOW)

We host our greatest and longest foe this afternoon. Can our brave 1986 premiership warriors inspire us?

"It's come without warning," Gus Gould told us earlier this week. 

He was not referring to our injury list that is around half our squad. A M*A*

What another Boring Year for Eels Fans

Towards the end of the 2025 NRL season I think a majority of Eels fans had some form of optimism for 2026 hoping it might be a possible top 8 position for the Eels.

However, this year has turned into one of the worst so far on record with Eels defenc

Brett Kenny on 100% Footy

I don't usually watch 100% Footy, but heard Bert was on there tonight so tuned in, didn't miss much if you didn't watch, just some highlights of the 86 GF and a little bit about this coming Sundays game vs Dogs and they will all be there to watch and

The injury ward

Given the raft of injuries across first grade I thought it best to collate it all together to see where we currently sit. Have sorted it into positions.

1. Iongi

2. Twidle

3. Russell (maybe back this week)

4. Samrani

5. Simonsson

6. Pezet

7. (Moses g

POPPA's CORNER : SACKING THE CAPTAIN......

There is a blog going on about sacking the Captain and a general opinion that Moses is a bad one....a bit of a wanker as well. 

Just to put a different perspective on it.....sack Moses as captain....who replaces him?

Now Moses is a human being, he is p

Defending the Undefendable... this game should not have been a surprise....Look what we had!

I am starting to think we have the dumbest supporters on here .... watched they way we  manouvre and undermine any failures.

The relentless criticism and then the undermining of the coach, front office etc indicates some people cannot just understand

Game Day Blog R6 v Titans: Call House (L52-10)

UPDATE: A 52-10 blowout loss. Jason Ryles pressor: "Last week, I saw fight. This week, I didn't"

Call Doctor House. The Eels have used the most players of any club. It will be at least 26 after this week. We face an injury toll from hell with a
