Taylan May Suspended But Not Really

The NRL has cheapened its self further with a disgraceful decision to suspend May for two games, in 2023!!!

This means he is free to play in the finals this year!

The NRL has lost its marbles. The reasoning given is they now believe that a finals game

Taylah May suspended for 2 games

But allowed to postpone suspension to after finals - free to play

Taylan May

Surely this guy gets suspended.  I'm shocked the NRL saw the video and though it was OK to let him play all year before giving him a suspension.  It was straight out assault, and he should be missing game time.

NSW Cup or Reserve Grade Blues.....We have to do better as a development club!

This was inspired by reading about our second grade performance in the elimination semi final yesterday. It was mentioned that the captain coach idea was a failed experiment.

I don't think the player coach was an experiment as much as a convenience wi

I owe an apology blog to Maika Sivo.

I honestly thought he was gone last season before his ACL injury.

My view was that he got "weights happy" through Covid and and lost his pace and cordination.

His comeback was so so after the ACL but I still thought

Two difficult decisions for BA

1. Whether to rest players next week. 2. Whether to play JA in the finals

1. As Mutts has pointed out 4th is a good run this year (win or lose the first finals match) and home games are important. Regardless I think we need to rest players. We cannot

9 years and no superstars

I was trying to think back over the past 9 years to what players BA has recruited and I could not think of one genuine super star player that BA has managed to luer to the eels. Your top teams have the ability to pull players like the munsters, cronk

Moving along or Moving aside

Talk is again about our next coach, some talk was about  Slater, as a player  he always hated Parra (mainly because of Hayne).....that said they are only talking wish lists and fantasy calls.....Mick Potter had some time at Parra and I am not sure he

S&W and future of JA-BA

I have been wanting to do a Strength and Weakness blog on JA and see what everyone thought about whether he would be a fisrt grade quality half one day or even a top first grade half. However, unfortunately for JA its not just about JA, JA cannot be

Brad Arthur's stroke of genius

I've been thinking about the whole JA on the bench thing and the discussions on this site about it and it struck me!

Brad Arthgur is a genius.

Now hear me out.

What position dont we have decent back up in. Well it could be argued various positions, but

R21 v Manly: At the Crossroads

"My Mama Always Said Life Was Like A Box Of Chocolates. You Never Know What You're Gonna Get", so said Tom Hanks' character in Forest Gump.

Forest's Mama could have been describing the Eels, week to week, half to half. And we have a pretty big box o

Lets call a spade a shovel and be adventurous

I said in a post sometime in the last week if we lose Moses and he is replaced by Jake Arthur we don't win another game this season.Never thinking for a minute it would happen.

I think I said it in context what important players mean to some teams i.e

JA Shouldn't Be Booed

If you were at the game last night, you will have heard Jake being booed during the team list and when he came on during the match.

Regardless if you agree or disagree with his selection, he should not be booed for pulling on the blue and gold.

R17 v Tigers: How Goes Sybil's Exorcism?

In the Captain’s Run media fronting, Shaun Lane was disarmingly blunt. “We got phased” by the Rabbits’ in last week’ 12-30 loss.

To many, it wasn’t a huge surprise that Rabbits made us their bunnies; stunned-in-the headlights. The Eels are one of th

Is there any Parramatta Eels fan NOT suffering mental issues?

I'll put my hand up first and say i am sufferening mental issues that i feel are made worse by the club, who chose me as a young child to support them.

Surely theses only about 1% of eels fans who are totally sane?.

Im figuring at least 99% of eels fan

Will Penisini - A poor mans Michael Jennings

This is going to be a very unpopular opinion.

Firstly, i think Will is a good player, fairly solid in most things he does and he does a fairly good job for us, especially for his age and limited experience in league.

But im hearing a lot of overrated t
