I have written a few blogs lately and being an optimist I like to look at things in that fashion, hopefully with some logic and hope.
Firstly I want no one to say "I told you so" everyone has a view and the negative ones have been vindicated this time
Read more…I was talking to a mate of mine yesterday who has played a lot of football and he is not a Parra supporter, he like me is now in his seventies and I was talking about the brilliance of Reece Walsh, and we should say neither us particularly like him.

Read more…Moses will be back for the grand final
Moses suspected out for six weeks which will mean he will be good to go for our grand final, which is a big boost.
Aplogies if already posted - lost track a bit since Friday night

There is no doubt he is crucial to Parramatta's chances this year and going

IT’S Groundhog Day at the Parramatta Eels and we can completely understand why blue and gold coach Brad Arthur would be blowing up.
With a shortage of outside backs as they fight to try and make the top

Gutherson has been a constant in the Eels side ever since taking over the fullback p
Read more…Its hard to blame the Recruitment and Retention if they have not got any flexibility in “dollars dept”. In some blog's and elsewhere this receives a lot of discussion but really, we don’t know.
I think O’Neill has a very tight leash on him and his job
Read more…Sorry for a silly sounding question here
Is there a limit to how many players a team can sign? I know there is cap and how that plays into the eligibility to play for points, but in the last few weeks I've seen clubs like the Bulldogs sign a lot of pl

The hooker will return to the Club after leaving at the end of 2021 to join St Helens in the English Super League.

Read more…Did anyone else notice the lack of intervention by the independent doctor this week so far? There have been a number of head knocks in each game and no intervention. Blake Taaffe was almost knocked into next week with 10 to go last night and somehow

It seems we are again right at the point of criticising the side at every level.
Everyone wants to blame the coach R&R and nobody wants to accept we have just had the season from hell, culminating with Moses injury.
