This is a slightly different tack to the same old questions, but at the same time, I think it identifies with Parra's need to be more visionary with our development squads and recruitment.
Last night I was at the annual presentation of a senior distr
I was confident, backs to the wall we like adversity. Full marks to BA, he was able to get them up and got them ready to go. It could be a kick start to our season, we were tough and strong and on top for most of the game. It showed we are good enoug
If the Eels can't get up and on the board after being bashed, hunteddown and owned by the Panthers in the grand final and Finals Week 1, then maybe we need to hit rock bottom first.
Confucius the ancient Chinese Philosopher born in 551BC must have followed Rugby League all those years ago. The great man's ancient quotes seem tailor-made for us Eels fans.

This concept of IQ and footy smarts has become popular in recent times and I'm starting to wonder if we recruit from the other end. i.e. like picking a monkey, because you know you can train him....in Parra's case it seems that in terms of defense, t
Ask no questions, and you’ll be told no lies. So says Pip’s sister, in Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations (1861), when Pip (see Chapter 2) had queried the sounds of guns in the distance. But Pip already suspected the truth. He knew convicts were on

Our worst start to a season since 2018, what happened in 2018? We lost our first 6 and 11 of our first 13, finishing last. This wont be a repeat, purely due to the fact our club is better ran than it was then and we have a better squad overall. Thoug
Alchemy. The ancient art of transformation of metals into something greater than the sum of their parts. It's also about the hero’s transformative journey through all the Herculean-like tests. It explains much of Star Wars, The Mandalorian, its ligh
NRL is back and it was a pretty good game to kick-off the campaign. Hard battle on a humid night, i was boiling in my seat but that could also be due to nerves and frustrations of the game. Overall, not doom and gloom at the moment, we have sort of t
Once there was Chaos. The Earth (Gaia), the Underworld (Tartarus) and Desire (Eros) were born from the empty chaos. Gaia took Uranus (now retired near BlueBet) as her husband and mothered twelve Titans. Atlas (son of the Titan Iapetus and the nymph K
"Randy get back onto your meds. At this level of finance and legal stature, protocol always haas the highest official of the club, the president signing off. Not MON or Jim."
"So why isn't the NRL, vocally supporting us.
Mon signed off on the release. If we lose he did done fuck up. Yell him now his job is riding on this. Put his skin in the game so he understands he needs to fight"
"Please read and understand what Muttman has said hereunder Randy, the NRL are not our enemy in this process. Its very much in the NRL interests to be strongly in accordance with Parramatta......what don't you understand about that?
We are the attack…"
