QF - Review

Our attack was very impressive tonight. We didnt have the great percent of possession but still attacked very well and broke down Storms defensive system. I was never confident even when we were up 12-0 not because I never had no faith in parra, but

Panthers vs Roosters

Watching the game, I thought I would create a blog to see how we would go against two of the best teams in the competition. I found the reffing to be very good and it turned out to be a very closse game. It was really a game of three halves. The star

Smith or Field, an interesting decision

Will Smith started his first game in the halves for Parramatta for over a year when he took to the field on Saturday night against the Wests Tigers.

Tristan Saylor?

Tristan Saylor has just been let go from the dragons. In my opinion he has huge potential and was never really given a proper go. He can play fullback and in the halves. Should parramatta go after him to put pressure on both our halves and fullback s

Broncos match a step in the right direction

Coming into their match against the Brisbane Broncos, the Parramatta Eels were averaging just 12 points per game across the preceding month. It was a worrying trend for a side that at one point looked as if it may challenge for the minor premiership.

Was Ricky right to blow up?

So there has been alot of noise from the Raiders v Warriors game yesterday. Ricky has had another blow up in the presser, and a point that I found interesting out of this was the sin binning of Wighton for being deliberately offside, according to the

Controversial Calls: Eels vs Warriors

1. Nathan Brown no try. Gutherson took control of the ball and

Reed Mahoney out indefinitely with AC joint injury

Looks like Ray Stone will play hooker but when it comes to finals time I think we will need someone who provides some attack from dummy half rather than just defence. So hopefully Mahoney is back before finals.

First 30 min the blueprint? Middle forwards slacking off? Thoughts on Tries conceeded?

Personally I think our first 20-30 minutes is the blue print on how we should be playing for the rest of the year. I have watched Moses highlights from his time since playing for the tigers and it’s evident that he is actually a great attacking compo
