"The first time in years we aren't playing Melbourne in round 1. It is almost like the NRL know Melbourne vs Parra in round 1 is a miss match and won't deliver a good game for an event like Vegas.If that is the case why has the NRL kept giving Parra…"
"The other problem is he is our best defensive forward by a hundred yards (he is the missing ingredient this year to last year with our defensive patterns) so it makes it hard to be a ball playing lock and our best defensive player....btw I agree…"
"Yes, he is a tryer, but a back up only player....that said he is resolute enough to come back into a team next year after doing all the requirement to improve his power and pace......"
"If you ever get the chance, go to an NFL game. My wife said to me "Let's go to Melbourne for Rams v 49ers" i am like yeah nah, too expensive and since i have been to two games in USA, i am good. No need for me to spend that price.
But if you go, go…"

Stuff that, i can't affrod that due to this cost of living. Would rather spend the money to Vegas. I have been three times so the FOMO will be limited.
Also, imagine Poppa and I running something together? It wont make as one of us will kill the other haha.
Lol i could imagine. I don't think i'll go either. I'd rather grab a case of beer and some steaks and fire up the bbq.
What cut of steak?
Spend money on Magic Round*
80th anniversary year ...41st anniversary of our last win ...21st anniversary of our last minor premiership ...9th anniversary of our last spoon ...5th anniversary of our last almost win.
Yeah, there is no better time.
Sadly, with this economic climate I can't see a big turnout of either Eels or Titans fans. Both bases have been starved of any success recently, so spending $5-10k to watch a game of footy is just not on the priority list. At least it will be an even match up for the fans that do travel.
I'll be watching it from home,. I've been to Vegas a few times now, and there's nothing really worth heading to the US for at the moment. I'd rather spend my earned biscuits elswhere.
There will be as many Eels fans would have saved for sometime knowing it will happen and many would make this their holiday once in a lifetime thing. For a few of us who have been to the States and done Magic Round or want to do it, we are the ones who are more 'meh' to it.
Vegas thing to me is a gimick. Same as media glazing over how good Magic Round was this year, when the games were atrocious, same with Vegas. it is a massive media jerk off event. Free holiday.
Imagine if the club had the 1EE attitude: “Oh, we’re so crap, we shouldn’t go to Las Vegas like every other club.”
Might as well just forfeit the NRL licence. We almost lost it recently when fans had more decision making power.
I know right 😅
It's been a tough week/month/year for some 1EE Fans.
LoL, Clintorian. Or a tough 40 years.
The price of passion.
Our love and loyalty of the Eels can outlive marriages and family members. I do wonder why...
