Greatest Eels Comebacks?

So the Eels turned a 6-20 deficit (after 25 mins) against the Broncos, the previous year's (2025) grand final winners, into not only a 22-20 half time lead but a 40-32 win. It was spectacularly dumbfounding to watch. 

What Eels comebacks stand out for you? History says two were similar. In 1987 the Eels trailed the Raiders 0-22 at half time and won 30-22, and in 2010 the Eels trailed the Panthers 0-22 after 32 mins and won 34-28.

  • The greatest comeback that never was, was a game against the Tigers where we were trailing 31-0 with 13 minutes to go and the score ended up 31-30. 2012 round 8.

    • I was at that game, too haha. Insane comeback. I had hopes we'd do the same as Penrith did to the Wests Tigers in 2003, when they came from 31-8 down with about 13 minutes to go and won. 

    • I don't remember that in meeiks 

    • Yeah Cheyse Blair run at the end.

      I remember people saying why did Benji kick the FG. Lol the bastard understood the assignment.

    • I was there at this one and tbh we were absolutely poor leading up to that point. Was that a game when Luke Burt kicked an insane 40-20? Maybe not but I recall a match where he did kick one and from memory the angle was amazing.....
