While all the talk following Sunday's dramatic one point victory over the Titans has focused on Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Maika Sivo being handed hefty suspensions, Parramatta is also without half of its starting spine and is still missing powerful
In recognition of two members who are sadly no longer with us and with thanks to Parramatta Eels major sponsor ALAND, we are instituting the Drop Bear and Mushroom Award.
The award is a member vote, nominating their favourite member of 1 Eyed Eel.
Charles Dickens once wrote that “the most important thing in life is to stop saying ‘I wish’ and start saying ‘I will’. Consider nothing impossible, then treat possibilities as probabilities.” This line is from the semi-autobiographical David Copperf
What a fortnight can do. Going from scoring 42 points in one half, most in club history. To having 46 put on us the following week. In hindsight that can come from Gutho not being at the back fixing gaps and holes. Sean Russell playing only his secon
Nassim Taleb’s Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder (2012) argues that the most influential events are often the least anticipated, which Taleb calls ‘black swan’ events. Taleb says our world changes according to a mix of unintelligibility, lu
He has gone from being a back-rower more so used as a game breaker, but not a worker. His flaws in his game were defence and decision making. He was a five-eighth in the body of a back-rower. Went from being considered on the bench for NSW, 18th man
5 in a row, first time we have done that since round 6-10 2021. What a wonderful sight to accumilate 14 points in 7 weeks, pushing us into the 8 with some comfort, we are at a point where we could afford a loss and stay in the 8. But top 4 is still a

Our Eels have shattered a 77-year-old record for the club with a first-half masterclass scoring 42 points in one 1st half of football. The never-before-done feat secures this Eels team a place in our history books. It is now the highest-ever first-ha

While as Eels fans we have tripped far too many times to ever get a step ahead of ourselves, is there a sense something different is building out West t
After a very up and down opening 10 rounds, the Eels languished in 14th place and were staring down a South Sydney side in first place and playing some breathtaking rugby league.
Given Parramatta’s well documented recent struggles against the Rabbits
One positive of Brown's stand down is the emergence of Daejarn Asi. A signing that surprised me, yet made complete sense to me. It was confusing at first as when he signed it was not mentioned how long for, then it was reported that he signed with us
What a great display by a depleated Eels side. 34 - 4 with several tries disallowed, we were always in control . Our forwards led from the front and paving the way.

Noiseworks released the song Touch in 1988. The lyric “reach out and touch somebody” was repeated, wait for it, six times. Hypothetically if one was born in 2000 one may not have been overly influenced by such advice. Noiseworks is off the hook. Oh,
"BM, snowflake is right in this context. The interesting thing there is that it's possibly the new moderation standards have created more space for perceived personal attacks. Via a weird inversion. Those of us who tried to actually debate via…"

I completely agree with everything you have said, and I am sorry to mention this example and yours & Daz’s name personally. Thankyou for replying and accepting the comments there, which do illustrate a point I was trying to make (and did a…"
