Eels vs Broncos 3, 2, 1

Very good high intensity effort tonight for the competition restart. Considering the long layoff I thought our attack was better than expected, although we had all the field position it must said. The Broncos were also very meek in the second half an

The Greatest Game On Earth is back!

That's right folks, the greatest game on earth will soon be back. If you are thinking NRL, then you are wrong, but close. The 1EE Legends tipping comp will resume next Thursday when the mighty Eels do battle with the Broncos. Mark it in your calendar

Something for you all to binge until May 28th

Hey guys I've recently been compiling highlight videos for Eels games from 2010-19 and now I've gotten 95% of games between the last decade all sorted into playlists. Some games are missed as they either have no highlights video made by the Nrl or th

Impact of the reduced comp (20 rounds)

1. No representative rounds. Big gain for teams with many rep players. Think we come out about even here as we could have lost three or four players.

2. No bye. This is an advantage for the teams in the top four or so as they will have a buffer to res
