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.

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

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

Eels vs Bulldogs 3, 2, 1

Really disappointing performance. Thought we'd make a statement today and give it to the Dogs, but we only did what we had to just scrap through. We haven't played like a top 4 side for a while now. It's become very concerning.

Our depth and some unique suggestions

Niukore bloke has been smashing it for us this year. I think its fair to say that he would be in the starting lineup for many teams. Whenever Nathan Brown has been suspended he has really stood up. I fear Niukore could be leaving us soon. He is only

Two points that I'll take

The Parramatta Eels march on in this year's NRL competition, bringing their tally to nine wins from 11 games.

That's the side's best start since 1977. The 1982 and 1983 Premiership winning sides both managed eight wins from their opening 11. Historic

Eels vs Tigers 3, 2, 1

Not really a great performance, but we did what we had to and remained switched on with high intensity and good discipline. It's clear we've become a second half team, but we need to address our slow starts. That's 4 weeks in a row we haven't started

Should there be an extended bench?

The more the season progresses and the more players coaches are forced to call upon, the more I've been thinking that the NRL should have permitted an extended bench for this season with a view to making it a permanent move.

There is always a discuss
