Who are our best three back-rowers?

Matterson, Papalii, Cartwright, Brown, Nuikore, Lane, Stone and Hipgrave are the choices.

Hipgrave is a solid player and does not let us down but is not in the top group.

Lane should be moved to bench prop.

Nuikore should be up there but lets keep him b

Eels Darwinning as they thrash Brisbane

You'd be forgiven for sensing Parramatta Eels fans were quietly puckering and unpuckering in the lead up to kick-off with the side's capitulation to the Dragons two weeks ago still fresh in their minds.

A well constructed win against Canberra gave Pa

Sir Col.... a self explanatory conversation

This is an email conversation, I had with Super re asking for anything people would like to donate towards Sir Col's memorial, he will not be having a funeral.

Now I am somewhat embarrassed putting this up with Sir Col still active on the site, but kn

R7 v Broncos: Eels hoof it to Darwin

We do not want to get on our high horse about this, but seriously, the Eels should whip the Broncos. These two teams are at opposite ends of the league ladder. They are also on opposing streaks. The Broncos have stalled in the last year, losing all b

Should we be reporting on sex tapes?

The NRL is dealing with another sex tape scandal after it was confirmed a player from the Parramatta Eels was recorded having sex in a toilet cubicle.

In a statement the club said neither the player nor the woman involved were aware they were being r

Video from Parra Eels website

So the following link is to a video from the Parra Eels website. This is completely unrelated to anything. I think most will find the opening statement in the video somewhat amusing...

Eels conquer Raiders in nation's capital

No one beats the Eels in Canberra nine times in a row and gets away with it. 

The Blue and Gold travelled south to what has been a veritable graveyard since 2006, with the challenge of defeating a premiership heavyweight in front of them.

Played tough Played smart

Was waiting for the review, but this is a quickie for EAM

1. Sign up Papalii forever - have we extended his contract. Can't believe he bulldozed JP for that first try.

2. Moses was the sheppard we needed and he always tries to be. What Cronk said. I th

This game was there to be taken at Half time by either side.

I have read some shit on here tonight,  amongst them that Dyllan Brown made no difference and Will complemented him so much better. If Dyllan had played I suspect Canberra would not have scored a try. With due respect to Will, Dyllan is the best defe

We were not out enthused - we have a problem

Dragons found a way to counter our strategy and other teams will use it. I hope we have a counter plan.

We were not out enthused. Our main strength has been our forwards making lots of metres and lots of quality offloads. 

Dragons shut that down with

Dyllan Brown should have appealed, maybe not personally but the advice of the club leaves us open to being complicit in the games mismanagement.

I’m sorry but the club needs to stand up to this (most probably at an administrative level), we can procrastinate for ever about the injustice, but someone needs to be accountable within the NRL structure.

Mr Hyde re-emerges as Eels capitulate against Dragons

Having seemingly ignored the warning signs from Easter Monday when the Parramatta Eels managed to hold off the Wests Tigers despite continually inviting them into the contest, the Blue and Gold's old Mr Hyde personality re-emerged in full force.

Lets not panic because we lost a game, the way has not been lost yet.

Statistics can be very misleading and simply speaking Saints outmuscled us, the implication is we panicked but it was more than those things. Al Hunt made a comment that we had 10 out of 13 six agains in our favour at a point in time.  Whats forgotte

Game Review

A pretty poor performance all round from parra. They looked like they picked up where they left off last week where they were Lucky to get the win over Tigers.

Hopefully they turn this around next week but I have my doubts based on past history.
