Who will be the best Eels Recruit for 2023?

There's no doubt that we will be missing a few players next year. Do the recruits step up or do we take a step back in 2023? I believe the recruitment of Hodgson and Barrett will be a huge boost for the club. Hodgson is our man, if he stays injury fr

How would you rate our 2022 NRL season?, was it a pass for this year or a failure?. We certainly did a lot better than most people predicted.  After the Souths game where we lost 26-0 pretty much everyone wrote us off.  I did my own review of the yea

Thoughts on the Grand Final, the season and what the Eels need going forward.

To start of, like everyone else I am shattered that the Eels didn't win and went out the way they did, but if I look back at the season and how inconsistent they were over 2022, the result was to be expected. I am still super proud of them for making

PRELIMINARY FINAL V COWBOYS REVIEW: 'WE DID IT'

The parallels are uncanny.

Two salvage teams, two ‘fly in & fly out’ missions, two simmering jungles in the heart of enemy territory, two objectives with near impossible odds of survival….One identical outcome.

The Line In The Sand: Now Or Never

 Wow. Unforgettable. The moment we knew we were into the grand final after a 13-year wait. I'm still in shock.

And in one week, we face off against the Panthers, the competition's best team over the last few years.

Things often seem clearer in hinds

The Promised Land

The monkey was big, it was bad and it had taken up residence for nearly four years, but the Eels not only shook it off on Friday night, they pummelled it into oblivion as they ran away with a 40-4 week two finals triumph over the Canberra Raiders.

Most impressive and disappointing: Finals week 2 v Canberra: 5th time lucky

I said from the start of the year, prelim minimum is what is needed from BA and this squad. Well, we got to a prelim. For us it was from some fans "GF or bust" but to me it was let's get to a prelim first, and we got there so to me it is a successful
