    • It was ridiculously cruel about 20 years ago.

      • 21 actually

    • Yes I think even the NRL know we need our Cinderella story too 

  • I can't fathom why the Cowboys are favourites. 
    Home ground advantage doesn't exist in a preliminary final and the temperature and humidity will have no bearing it's all bollocks.

    Parra are a battle hardened semi final side with plenty of finals experience throughout the squad with a plethora of dissapointment to draw on for inspiration to not let it happen again.

    Weve played the Panthers twice in the last couple of months, the Storm and Rabbits giving us a semi final steel.

    The Cowboys haven't had the hardened preparation for a title shot and for the most part are bereft of semi final experience. 
    Eels comfortably for mine 28-10 MOM Mahoney finally finding his feet and producing a dominant running game from dummyhalf.

    • Real good points there Bup I hadn't considered.

    • Have you lost faith in your man BA?, what a negative Nancy.

    • Go W-I-L-S-O-N castaway extrordinair 

  • Going against all my inner fears of Parramatta letting us down yet again , I'll say 26 - 0 to us .  BAs root and boot fly in  fly out approach proving a masterclass .  

    I am worried about he NRLs desire to have a QLD team in the semi finals however . We could get totally stitched up here just like we did against the Panthers last year . 

  • Quick question, not worth a whole blog...hows everybody's nerves going, ive been picturing big moments and potential results for days now. Need kick off to be here

    • Nerves are good and expectations are low . Just how an Eels fan should go into these games .  It all really hinges on two players , maybe 3 tbh . If they turn up we can win convincingly.

"It's not a surprise really. Parramatta has put a huge amount of effort and money to supporting their players off the field. Whether that's culturally, in family support, hiring a nutritionist, supporting and providing education pathways."

"I can ask about the coterie. It would be more difficult for it to be set up now given Phil is on the Leagues Club board.
So actually there is an internal discussion regarding the cheerleaders returning.
What would you like the hat to be?"
