Team Review - Outside Back Defence? & BA Grow some Balls?

Gutho - tried hard but wasnt his night in attack today. His passing game was slightly off, giving the ball behind his players at times. Every pass from Ribbits were perfect. Grade C.

Sivo - OVERRATED. OVERRATED. Every try he scores is served up on a p

Reporters with agendas

There seems to be a reporter out there with an agenda to cause trouble for us.

He was there today trying to stir up trouble for Sivo and Niukore.

For example he made a point of asking about just Nuikore's tackle on Smith but said nothing about the much

Our Attack

In the presser BA said the Eels have been focusing on defence in training and that is why our attack was a bit clunky. Which is fair enough and our defence was good. 

But we still have two wingers on the right side. Maybe Fergo should play centre in a

Eels vs Storm 3, 2, 1

Well I suppose that was our best performance for quite a while, but only for our constant high energy. Still so much to work on with the ball, though I will admit we would not have beaten Melbourne if we didn't throw the ball around and wear them out

Match Preview: No Better Opportunity

One of the key ingredients to a Premiership run is a little bit of luck, and then the ability and conviction to take advantage of the opportunity that presents itself.

The Parramatta Eels will get no better opportunity to take down the Melbourne Stor

How much salary cap space do we have for next year? Who would you be recruiting for next year?

Anybody want to take a stab and guess how much cap space we have next year?

We need another big bopper imo, somebody who can bend the line.

Hollis and Hughes are both untested at this level, we have lost Evans, and probably the Polar Bear(no real loss

when are Junior and RCG getting a rest

Both have been playing big minutes and are looking tired. They need a rest before they get injured and we need them fresh for the finals. Maybe BA plans to rest in final game but they probably need a rest before then

Joel Thompson split tongue injury.

Looks like he's had a few rounds with Carls at 3am sunday morning on the Patricks at Penno disco floor ;)

Should Joey be offered assistant coach position?

With view to taking over the reins at an appropriate point?

i am happy BA has been given a long stint; however, it may be time for a change in a few years and I am guessing much of our improvement this year - halves and game management- has been due t

Dragons performance

The saddest part is that we are at full strength and still lost to the dragon who have injuries. I think Sivo has always been a bit overrated. 95% of his tries are served up on a platter for him to walk over. It's michael Jennings or gutho who does a

Eels vs Dragons Preview

The Parramatta Eels come into this round 14 clash sitting in outright third position having won 11 games and lost two. They have won their last three in a row with triumphs over the Tigers, Bulldogs and Sharks. Meanwhile the Dragons sit in 12th with

Okay seeing as Seibold has engaged lawyers there is now a ban in place regarding any speculation on Seibold's private issues. Only news stories may be posted on this subject. No speculation whatsoever is to occur. 

Eels performance against sharks

1. Gutho - was very solid without being spectacular. Did his job in the rain.

2. Sivo - very poor game. He barely involves himself during the game. Bombed an easy try and cost us 2 tries. Showed no urgency to get rid of the ball for Ramiens try and th

Eels vs Sharks 3, 2, 1

Not sure what to make of that. Feel like we got away with it but we still showed plenty of grit. In those conditions you just take the win any way you can.

HORSE RACING FANS!

 A really common question for racing fans. What is the best race / win you have ever seen. This is the best win I have ever seen.

Why are we fading in the 2nd half of games? Causes and solutions?

Of late weve been in great positions to put big scores on opposition who are nowhere near our class, but weve been fading in the back end of games.

Whats your opinion of why this is happening after a good start to the season?

Mental?

Fitness?

The use of

Fastest in the NRL

Who do you guys recon is the fastest in the club. I have Jai Field, Dylan Brown and Waqa Blake in that order. I would put Blake ahead of Dylan Brown but I feel like he has lost some of his pace as shown in the Manly game (I know he was tired but othe

Middles the key for Eels

There was a time not too long ago when the Parramatta Eels were soft where it mattered most. They offered no starch, no presence, no aggressiveness through the middle third of the field.

That softness delivered a wooden spoon in 2018.

Then Junior Pau
