Eels Blogs

This is the X-factor player, we should be going after.

He was suspended from the Test against the All Blacks in Auckland this saturday for drinking alchol after the "bewitching hour".

I have no idea what his contractual obligations are but he is 29 years old, would have a good 3/4 years in him and is the

Stick a fork in us

Another season and it's that same sinking feeling. That feeling of disappointment that once again another year has slipped by and the premiership drought continues on its slow march towards its 40 year anniversary.

Tonight the Eels went into the clas

Game Review

Piss poor performance but it's not surprising. Parra have been building to an end of season fade out.

Opacic - I've held off judgement to date as he has been solid in defence but tonight proved he offers absolutely nothing. He gets the ball off a back

Oops a team list.

Here is what I think would be a team that will get us

We'll do it the hard way

What is it with my sporting teams and doing everything the hard way?

Win the Champions League in regular time? Nah, we'll go down 0-3 then come back to 3-3 and win on penalties.

Finish inside the top four comfortably? Nah, what about a 95th minute wi

Titans first half the new blueprint?

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about playing the Gold Coast last weekend. Eels heavily favoured, missing their best forward and their halfback against a side that can score five tries in 15 minutes.

But Parramatta came out in the first half

Sorry, this is a blog assuming we get Milford

Wasn't too sure about Milford but when I hear Parramatta has asked about his immediate availability, I am going a step further and make the assumption. 

If the assumption becomes an untruth so be it and move on. Contrary to some discussion Parra still

Wally Lewis Medal

Who do you think should have received the Wally Lewis Medal?

Did you agree with the popular choice of Tommy Turbo? 

Personally, I would have given it to Cameron Murray, I thought he was great running the ball, but in defence WOW! This skinny kid monst

Cartwright to centre?

Cartwright is not getting enough game time.

could put him left centre - he would have a blast setting Sivo up.

Move Waqa to right wing- keep Opacic right centre. Don't like the Opacic - Dunster combo- lacks size/power.

Sir Col a thank you from his family

I received a card today which was a thank you to all the supporters of 1EE from his family members.

The picture attached is the front of a specially printed card.

Personally I think this picture will be one I best remember of him because he was fit and

‘The Parramatta Panthers’: The secret document that almost led to a Panthers-Eels merger

Eels name NRLW Top 5

The Parramatta Eels have announced the signing of their top five NRLW players for the 2021 season.

Under an NRL plan to ensure the 2021 competition has an even spread of talent, a group of elite female players have been centrally contracted and are b

Mitchell Moses, Origin or Injured, who would replace him if it happened that he needed to be.

These thoughts arise with the potential of Cleary being out for the next Origin or for that matter Moses being injured.

Now I have little confidence in Jake Arthur being good enough yet to replace either half, whether it is Brown or Moses. I suspect t

Junior Paulo

Interested to get some views on how people think Junior is going?

I thought in Origin 2 where he started, that he didn't really look for work and when he did take it up, he didn't look to offload, I can only remember him passing once and maybe one off

Cleary racing the clock for Eels game

Penrith Panthers and NSW halfback Nathan Cleary is racing the clock to be fit after appearing to suffer a shoulder injury during NSW's 26-0 victory over Queensland.

The Panthers co-captain was visibly favouring his right shoulder after two separate i

Attention - Peter V'landope - Its about common sense.

Its all about common sense really, its not rocket science or reinventing the wheel, Peter, take a look at these rugby standards on high shots.

Imo NRL needs to look at adopting this simple take on it, which is basic common sense.

A Night At The Footy

Like alot of you I was at Bankwest last night and had a fantastic evening watching the team tear The Tigers a new one. There's nothing like heading out on a cold winter's night and watching a victory along with thousands of other Parramatta faithfull

Your mid season grand final/premiership predictions?

Whos going to win the comp? Your mid season prediction gents?

I think it will be Penrith, they will play the Storm and beat them comfortably on the back of their halves.

Some people are talking the storm up but im not buying it, the Panthers are the re

Right edge defence

Didn't think it was possible that the right edge defence could get worse. Tonight proved me wrong. There was an overlap every time they went that side and it was only tigers clunky attack and a bit of pace from duster that saved them each time.
