THE Territory's adopted NRL team Parramatta has spent the past two days visiting their new home away from home.
Eels officials joined Chief Minister Adam Giles and Sports Minister Matt Conlan for a tour of Anzac Oval in Alice Springs on Tuesday, which will be the scene of annual trial matches from 2014.
The Eels group then headed to Darwin yesterday where they took a tour of Richardson Park and TIO Stadium, Parramatta's Top End home in the NRL premiership for the next four years.
Parramatta corporate partnerships general manager Jamie Hollebone said the club was looking forward to embarking on the new partnership struck last month.

Yeh, "nice guys finish last" is not just a saying with no reason behind it. You wont see any of the top 4 teams doing it. All they do is winge that it is too longer season because they have all these representative players playing origin and for Australia. Fair dinkum, wanna swap players for some of ours then you sooking knob jockeys.
Surely even though we have already agreed to it we would have re-scheduled to another week for these inspections. With the situation which has sent us members, ticket holders and fans into a head spin, surely they would be pushing everything else to the side until they could resolve the critical issues surrounding the club so they can give us some answers.
