Well, with the only real game that matters this round already done and the Eels holding a handy for and against lead over the second place Knights they could very well finish the round in first position.

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

Won't the NRL be thrilled with this headline! ASADA is already involved so the investigation must have been happening for some time.

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the club asked Parramatta Eels members to pledge their 2020 memberships. At the time there was no guarantee of receiving anything in return or even if the season would restart.

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

Peter V'Landys' decision to drop to one referee will send the game back to where it was more than a decade ago. Where the wrestle was worse and teams got away with murder in the ruck.

The dual referee system has been in effect for over a decade. It's

Just when you thought it was safe to go back...

It does not seem to be going away and Winter is coming, and restrictions are being relaxed. If there was one month of no restrictions right now we would be back above the previous peak. Government is taking best option of trying to get economy going

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
