Ricky Stuart

I know this is ancient History .......but the nerve of this dilusional guy.    He is whinging about John Bateman and him jumping ship and he did the same to us in 2014.  Left us in an absolute mess and ran off to the Raiders...

What an absolute Goose

Parramatta Eels halves options

The Parramatta Eels will have to do without livewire halfback Mitchell Moses after he succumbed to a calf injury midway through his side's match against the Canberra Raiders. Head coach Brad Arthur has revealed it's a recurrence of a previous calf in

BA and media gone missing

1. Moses tapped the ball back on the 20 m line, the ball landed behind the 20 m line, yet this was rulled a knock-on!!!

2. Blatant forward pass infront of the touch judge for Raider's try not called!!!

3. Rapana punches Sivo in the face. Unprovoked aft

Eels vs Raiders 3, 2, 1

So proud of the team for such a courageous victory. Everything, including the refs, was against us yet we toughed it out and stood up under pressure. A special win this one.

BA Must do something about the refereeing

We need a fair go

Can teams win with $1m players?

They're the headline grabbing players that clubs throw the proverbial kitchen sink at. 

They cost a lot. $1m per season. 10 percent of the salary cap. 

Are they worth it?

So far this season Kalyn Ponga has re-signed on a long-term, multi million doll

The Real Deels

The Sydney Roosters showed why they're favoured to become the first team since the Eels of the 80s to three-peat when they overcame the Blue and Gold on Saturday night in the best game of the season so far.

But in losing, the Eels displayed qualities

Right hand defense our only issue

We really need to fix our right hand defense furgo needs to trust his inside man waka also needs to improve his defense one one one as seen in tonights game 

From cap cheats to team to beat: how Eels got mojo back after 34 years

Jai Field added to squad

Is Moses injured?-Has calf issue returned?

If he doesnt play on Saturday we have no chance

Must win against the Rotters

Frankies mates are trying to take BankWest from us. No Eels fans are allowed into BankWest for the Rorters game - only hundreds of Roosters fans

Eels halves provide perfect balance

The halves position at the Eels has been a seemingly poisoned chalice for the decades following the retirements of Brett Kenny and Peter Sterling. 

Parramatta has been lucky to find one good half at a time, let alone two that compliment each other.

2 forwards away from a title

Last night exposed how terrible Parra are up the middle when RCG and Paulo are off. We are clearly lacking a world class bench player. 

Our current bench will get us through the early rounds with hard work but they will tire.

Signing one more world cla

Time for Alvaro?

Evans is suspended for one game. Is Alvaro still around. Thought he was good at the end of last season - playing higher impact rather than marathon. Think we need an experienced prop to replace Evans.

Winning does not mean scoring

We lost the first half because we tried to score (with bombs) at every opportunity. We got on top early and had really good field position that  we should have used to tire the opposition out e.g. with grubbers into goal - we were very close to the g

Good signs, very happy

BA/Team leaders did well to adapt and come back to win. Penrith knew the Eels game plan well in advanced and defended it well. We kept trying bombs to the winger and offloads and they were failing and the bombs were wasting potential six again grubbe

Eels vs Panthers 3, 2, 1

What the f*** just happened? I don't know how we got away with that but it was a hell of a finish. Moses was quiet with the ball tonight but his defence against Kikau was outstanding.

Props: Quality or Quantity

Been thinking for a while that giving Junior and RCG long minutes is too much quantity and not enough quality. Now we have Evans and Nuikore on the bench we should not need to keep our starting props out there for nearly all the game. Especially this

NEW RULES: A THUMBS UP, BUT IS THERE A FLIP SLIDE?

This blog will invoke the bikini principle of statistics: interesting to look at, but concealing the most crucial bits and pieces. Along with two caveats.

Firstly, and most importantly, the majority of fans are ecstatic with the new rules as it helps

Is the 8 already decided ?

Clearly this blog is in the "going off too early" category, but does anyone else feel that the 8 is in effect, if not in fact, already decided ? 

I get that there is still 16 rounds to play, but is there a real contender to make the 8 that is not curr
