Buster Hindmarsh signs with Panthers

Wow , our junior pathways is obviously going gangbusters 😂.  It's not as if his young blokes shit, he goes good. 

Good enough for the Penrith system but not good enough for ours ? Unlikely .  Wonder if Hindy was worried he'd cop what JA and MA copped

Game Day Blog R12 v Manly: Junz's 250th (Update Papali’i to debut)

The Eels host the Sea Eagles tonight at CommBank in what’s shaping up to be a wet, potentially scrappy and grinding affair — fitting for Junior Paulo’s 250th milestone. Both sides are coming off impressive wins, but consistency in this competition

The Parramatta Eels today officially opened the $70m Parramatta Eels Centre of Excellence (COE) and Kellyville Memorial Park Community Centre, the largest rugby league training precinct in the world, marking a transformative milestone for the Club an

Poppa's Corner: Remember Dylan Brown, he used to play for us

 Watching last night, I don't believe Dylan is anywhere the level he was attaining.

Whether it is the ACL tear (definitely lost pace) but his body language showed to me in pre and post game interviews he doesn't want to go anywhere. I think he sees P

Game Day Blog R11 v Knights: MOMAX arrives

The "MOMAX is finally here" image was produced by the Eels' club.

The Knights host the Eels tonight at McDonald Jones Stadium in a milestone 300th game for Dane Gagai.  Both sides sit in the bottom four and are desperate to snap losing habits in a

Poppa's Corner: Games are there to win; Opportunities Lost; We haven't learnt that yet, nor has the coach!

We coud be at least be 2 or 3 wins further up if we had some more astute work from the coach. Although many on here rave about Ryles - and personally I like him and the things he is trying to do - he is making as many rookie errors as any of the play

Close but not closer enough

2 bomb trys 1 all he had to do catch the ball and fall over

Poppa's Corner: Finally, some optimism; the Unicorn is back after much shorter time on the side line than expected!

Bluey made a post about whether we are over the top in judging our current performance's based on where we are on the competition table.

Mmmmm. I think you are too pessimistic Bluey, and that's after my own tirade following the Canberra performance i

Poppas Corner; JAC is proving to be a real Jewell

After last night I could "wax lyrical" about Mitch Moses.....I honestly did not think a single player could make so much difference to that side.

BUT I would like to talk about JAC, he may not be as fast as he once was, but he is quicker than anything

Eddie Jones in our box, not sure if anyone else noticed

GAME DAY BLOG R7 v THE TIGERS: GALVINIZED OR GALVINATED?

Image produced by the Eels club

Why is Anasta so agitated?

I've watched NRL360 the last 3 days and it seems to me there's something going on with Anasta and what's been happening at the Tigers. He may be a close friend of Benji and feels he needs to defend him publicly, but something's not right there.

He is
