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.
I hope the football gods shine down on us . We deserve this . Sometimes in life things eventually come to you . Our time is here .

Watched Cumberland oval grandstand burn and thought this is unbelievable. Seen all 4 victories and the next one will be significant . Enjoy the night up there 👆
"This is the worry the fact that we have to use Samrani hose doing a job but revert back to Penisini says a lot about our lack of development in that area.Back 5 Parra have been terrible bringing s juniors through the last decade."

The games a track meet now teams like the Cows Manly Dolphins and alike are just deadly you give there outside backs any space and it's over red rover.

"TDS's ball distribution was my #1 bugger bare of him I don't know how long ago.
But guess what it's improved I think there's some obvious work that's taken place on that front.
Volkman is a hit or miss for me he's had his moments but he feels like a…"
"I agree wholeheartedly with this . I actually feel we are a pretty well coached football side. Most of the rubbish stems from guys losing athletically or making bad decisions. The system itself isn't the issue. Our recruitment and retention team…"
