Ryles 2.0: 2026 gets off to a bright start in Eels trial

Trials always present the double edged sword of fans getting excited that footy is finally returning, while trying to hold back on any bold predictions given the chopping and changing that occurs at this time of year. 

Parramatta fielded a mix of you

Picking Up Where We Left Off?

Obviously, it’s only a trial. Other than reviving Henson Park, at best it's test of whether juniors' physicality is up to the task. We passed that test. Perhaps, there were symptoms of something else.

We seemed to have picked up where we left off at

The Eels v Lomax: Timeline and Key Questions

This is now a Pandora’s box with ominous Storm clouds. But not for our club. They hover over the Lomax camp. When ARLC Chairman Peter V’landys publicly backed Lomax recently, more than two weeks into proceedings, he urged that he not be “overly puni

I have been a Parramatta Eels supporter for over 50 yrs now. As long as I can remember.

I can't even say that I chose this. My mother christened me into this Tribe, for better or worse. I saw our Premiership wins. I thought more would follow, but tha

V’landys Backflips but the Lomax Case May Hinge on One Question

Eels' 2026 Backline?

To those with knowledge of the Eels' lower grades, do the Eels have players coming through in the outside backs who might be within 1-2 years of a) breaking into first grade, and/or b) have the potential to be star outside backs?

I think the Eels' pac

Peter V’landys MIA: How the Lomax Affair Exposed Cracks at HQ

UPDATE: V'landys broke his radio silence (Feb 7th) in support of Lomax not long after this blog, and backflipped on the bans and seems to snub his nose at his own contract-sanctity antitampering laws. It stinks.

“You talk tough. Ten-year bans. Is

1986 A great memory

A mate of mine took an old shield for an aged effect, painted this and gifted it to me today. A great memory from a great time in Eels history. Thought I would share.
