Bankwest Stadium - The Creation of a Parramatta Fortress

To all who were present, it was clear that a Fortress was born on Monday afternoon.

If we can get even remotely similar crowds to Monday (say 18-20k), then we're going to be locked in for an amazing atmosphere all year.

Winning Is EVERYTHING

Discernment and vigilence has me return to the previous week v Raiders who simply showed how to beat our mob, so unless our squad learns from that game and the one against the Roosters, the spectacle our boys put on last Monday will be as nothing com

Will we beat the Knights?

Do you think we'll back up Monday's performance and beat a desperate Knights team at home? For me this has 2014 written all over it. I remember our stirring rd 24 victory over Manly at Pirtek when we came from behind and powered over them to finish 2

Match review: Eels dominant but what's next?

Parramatta crowned the opening of their new stadium with an absolute 51-6 thrashing of the Balmain-Wests Tigers on Easter Monday.

Before a crowd of 29,047, the largest Parramatta-based home crowd for the Eels in history, the Blue and Gold ran in nin

LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON

Because it is the time of the resurrection I should tell you of my Sunday and my Monday (today). On Sunday I had my bag stolen from a Chinese restaurant where I was having a meal. I thought that I knew who it was who stole my bag. I went looking for

Outstanding victory to open the new stadium. A moment to remember for the rest of our lives.

Eels captain Clint Gutherson has sought advice from some of the club's former legends on h

Dancing Gutho - what is he worth

https://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2019/04/18/were-home2/

We have been valuing Guth all wrong. Ranking as full back, captain, ACL track record, role model are BS.

Guth's true value is based on his dancing ability - see above - and does anyone have the c

Burgess

Apparently we are still after Burgess

Hope we don’t sign him unless it’s by TPA

He would be great addition ...but at the price we need to pay... if it is all on the cap it will ruin our roster

Medical retirement in NRL

What's this crap I'm reading that Souths will have Inglis' money to purchase another player whilst other clubs like Manly for Matai and Brett Stewart and Newie for Nathan Ross couldn't take them off the books despite their retirement from the game?

Eels right to be cautious on Gutho

Courtesy of Paul Crawley and Gutherson's management, we're now aware that Clint Gutherson is asking for $700,000 per season, or about seven percent of the salary cap.

The Eels have baulked at this figure and offered around $500,000 a season, citing C

You have to know when to hold and when to fold

We have a good team but no leader - not one who can manage a game and the men following him.

I really do not think we should resign Moses. He has elite talent and determination. But from what I can see no idea how to manage a game. I can't see that ch

Knights- Manly, Sharks- Roosters games

How shite are Newie?

They are so bunched when attacking, dummy half service park footy at best and Mitchell Pearce looks washed up and clueless. Klemmer and Ponga doing their best to raise the Knights but it's not enough.

Pretty much the story when you

R5 Preview: Eels vs Raiders

This week sees the two over-achievers of the competition thus far - the Eels and Raiders go head-to-head in a battle that will mark one of them as serious contenders.

There are plenty of parallels between the two teams. Last year, both teams under-pe

Titans v Panthers and Cowboys vs Storm blog

I can't beleive Penrith continue to be utter dogsh*t. Huffing and puffing, down 12-5 ,25 mins in vs the Titans.

Crap service from dummy half, Cleary and Maloney look clueless.

Billy Kikau their lone shining light. What a player.

What's going on in Brisbane?

The Brisbane Broncos have well and truly dropped off their perch after going down to the Tigers on Thursday night.

Their halves, Nikorima and Milford haven't gelled, fullback Darius Boyd looks like he'd rather be anywhere else and their much vaunted

2020- Who do we re-sign?

Eels have a ridiculous amount of players off contract for next season. Huge decisions need to be made about which players need to be retained, and who to let go. Here is my take on the players

Clint has only been an outstanding play

The Media, Kent, they hate us so bad, why?

Watching NRL360 last night Paul Kent kept bringing up how terrible we are for not resigning Gutherson, every opportunity he could all he was doing was criticising Parramatta. It was so biased the other anchors were getting uncomfortable. He just desp

Tickets for sale Eels v Tigers?

Im looking to buy 2 tickets for the Tigers game.

I am no longer a ticked member because I live abroad these days.

A scheduled trip back to Aus has been moved forward, so would love to be at the opening of the new stadium..... as I was in 86.
