‘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

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.

Players on report and other incidents that may be reviewed from todays game.

A heap of our players on report.  What do people think each player will get under the curent roll of the dice MRC and Judiciary?

Nothing more needed.  Plenty of incidents out of this match.

Personally amazed that the incident that riled RCG did not eve

Thought the refs were fair and consistent today. Don't agree with all the calls but was an even playing field.

Atkins and Perenara double teaming us tomorrow.

Will not be easy.

Call out to Fuuuui...... mate that banner of Farewelling Sir Col is sensational

Fuuuuui/ Glen

What you did with that banner is just unbelievable, the photo of Sir Col is captured in such a way of representing Sir Col and his Scallywag nature is so accurate, that I am dumbstruck.......

Thank you so much and his family will love it!

Hi all, this is not exactly an eels blog but I was wondering about player payments. Lately we have seena crackdown on illegal play. Some players get fined and more serious illegal play gets them suspended. The play who gets fined obviously cops a per

Do we want to finish in the top 4?

Scenario 1:

1. Bust a gut to finish 3rd or 4th.

2. Play Penrith/Storm when they have given their key players a refreshing rest and we haven't; and suffer a demoralising loss with probably some injuries or suspensions in a hard game.

3. Play whichever 5-

Farewell to a gentleman

A lot of people don’t get 1Eyed Eel. They see the argy bargy, the cynicism, the venting after each shitty performance, and they can too-quickly jump to conclusions about what the site is all about. Those that don’t get it, never get to learn that it’
