NRL season to go on the line with players blanket tested for COVID-19

How we can help our club

As has been detailed recently, the possibility of the NRL being forced to lockdown due to COVID-19 is a massive concern of the game and the clubs.

We could sit here pointing fingers at who is responsible but that gets us nowhere.

Instead, our club ne

Looking at the draw, the only upcomming home game that is at real risk is the St. George game at Bankwest Stadium on 5th April (in circa 3 weeks).

After that we have a home game against the broncos in Darwin on the 24th, then we play away games up unt

Round 1 Review: At least we won

After a seemingly never-ending off season, rugby league returned to Bankwest Stadium for the first time in 2020. 

It was a pre-season that saw the Eels labelled top four certainties and premiership contenders much to the nervousness of the fan base.

Eels vs Bulldogs 3, 2, 1

Very stop-start and a ridiculous amount of penalties. Don't be too concerned by our clunky attack. It will get better; the Dogs played exactly how I thought they would - very physical and gritty. They would have frustrated a lot of teams tonight. Our

John Fonua and Ethan Parry gone?

Anyone know why these two are not listed in CC?

Both should be and Ethan Parry is not injured and has reportedly been looking elsewhere, which is reasonable considering he is now no longer next in line for wing or centre.

Parramatta to sell out NRL season opener against Canterbury

In what would be a historic celebration to kick-start the 2020 NRL season, Parramatta’s Bankwest Stadium is tracking for a sell-out which would double as the largest round one home crowd in the Eels’ 73-year history.

And it could ensure at least three

The main rule we could take advantage of is no tackling attacking players mid air. We have tall wingers and second rowers that could feast on this rule. Not sure if Waqa can jump. It could also bring Taka back in contention as first back up for centr
