2025 built on the 2024 season and 1 Eyed Eel continues to grow. Numbers-wise w
Both suffered heavy round one losses. Both will be seeking redemption.
The Eels won the last meeting here 22-20 in a Walsh-inspired cliffhanger, but they have lost four of the past five games against the Broncos, who start as raging favourites.
After the first minute of the game I immediately knew that no matter how good we try to play that we would not win the game. The corruption was pretty clear. But wow we played awful.
Denan Kemp, the former Broncos NRL player and SEN commentator was equally scathing of the Eels as the officiating in the Eels’ Round 1 loss to the Melbourne Storm in his podcast.
“The jersey deserved better than that second half," he admitted.
Zac Lomax has settled his legal dispute with the Parramatta Eels, agreeing he cannot return to the NRL without the club’s written consent before the 2028 season.
In a surprise development in the NSW Supreme Court, both parties reached a settle
The Parramatta Eels are pleased to announce that rising talent Teancum Brown has been upgraded to a development contract for the 2026 season, and an NRL contract extension for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.

Obviously, it’s only a trial. Other than reviving Henson Park, at best it's test of whether juniors' physicality is up to the task. We passed that test. Perhaps, there were symptoms of something else.
"In the past we could count on 2 points when opposing Saints. It's no longer the case. What we saw in Saints two games so far is cause for us to be wary. They've toughened up and competing hard could be troublesome for us.
I feel better that we…"
"I'm hoping for an Eels + 10 victory. There first home game this year. They should set the standard to make their homeground a fortress this year. They really need to win this match and make a statement. It would be extremely disappointing to have a…"
"Id also keep Tualagi as a starter. Took the opportunity given and excelled. He gets another chance for mine - not a definite lock in long term and must continue to give 7 or 8 out of 10 games. "
"Cheers LB.
I like supers one that resonates with me .
Best underrated 17.
It brings Burt in fullback contention, Takaraingi or Joel Reddy in the centres, Jeff robson halfback contention, Mick Vella , Tim Smith, Alvaro, Lane, Nathan Brown, Inu,…"
In our well-justified praise of Ryley Smith, there is a big thing being missed: his ability to read the game and footy IQ.
He is a couple of plays ahead and anticipating every move both in defence, primarily at present, but also in setting up the a
