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.
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.

"Not sure what that investigation is? You referring to his owed TPA payments Wiz he was owed? Coz if that's the case he ain't any different to many many other players who say they didn't know they were illegal payments...Cronk included. It was a deal…"
"Great point. I am not sure who it was who said it but i heard once that sometimes when you have a naturally gifted player coach, they fail due to believing what they do so naturally others should do as well. They don't understand that not everyone…"
"Hey Pops,
I know how you feel, you don't want to go in all guns blazing but don't think Bluey does either (won't speak for him)?
It may be a case of no one needing to be replaced, Pops? Maybe we just need an addition, someone who's skillsets really…"

It was ridiculously cruel about 20 years ago.

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