We understand the frustration many are feeling, and the overwhelming, relentless sentiment surrounding the club at the moment.

However, we are not going to tolerate abuse or harassment directed at others simply because they may hold a different opini

Poppa's Corner; The cattle is the problem, this maybe the catalyst to make us do some drastic things!

Forgive me, I need to get this off my chest!

Yes the cattle is a problem, we knew that in probably every game we have won this year, just the same! I am/was devastated last night, the effort against Titans was probably a low point of the season ......

R11 Game Day Blog, Magic Round v Storm: Trauma and Redemption (L34-8)

This is the 7th annual Magic Round. The Caxton Carnival.

We’ve lost all but one.

Both teams are desperate to climb out of the bottom four. Both rebounded with wins last week.

Down on troops, we were gritty and brave to upset the then-high-flying Co

Speed, Power, Athleticism, But Not Specifically Size; These are the Key Areas Emerging Under These Rules Forced on Teams

We have a poster on here JC who wrote some intriguing comments on touch football techniques, the power and speed aspects of our forwards in the game, and the effect that power running backs add to that equation. He dived into some techniques used in

Poppas Corner: What other team could possibly deliver , guts, glory and heartaches.....and some dare to say they don't know why we support them?

When you pull defeat out of your arse that question posed is all you need to know..... we have been fortunate 4 winning games and probably all pulled out of our arses. No right to win any of them!

We have been playing busted all year.....next week if

Game Day Blog R10 v Cowboys: The Townsville Graveyard (Eels upset Cows in 33-30 Golden Point Thriller)

UPDATE: Somehow the Eels made the impossible possible to spoil Jason Taumalolo 's historic moment. They Eels executed the only blue-print that has worked for them this year. Fighting hard and doing the fundamentals well. High completions (93 v 74%).

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
