In 1975, Van McCoy ft. Pan’s People released Do the Hustle, a song with just two lines repeated endlessly for about 4:00 minutes: ‘do the hustle, ooh, do it!’ Do the Hustle is a metaphor for how the Eels play. Like that bloody disco song, the Eels ar
I think we're all looking forward to this match after the previous game between these two teams.
If I were Dylan Brown, I'd be scrubbing the target off my forehead just prior to the game and hoping that it doesn't reappear! There was little said in th
Boy that Canberra game was a missed opportunity for so many reasons.
Win there and we hold a 4 point buffer from 5th spot with 6 games remaining. Basically 4th would have been ours to lose. Now we needlessly walk the tightrope.
G'day guys. I'll start off by saying that this week's blog will be very brief as I am having that consistent and very frustrating problem of only being able to read the front page of blogs and writing a post only for it to vanish somewhere into cyber
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about playing the Gold Coast last weekend. Eels heavily favoured, missing their best forward and their halfback against a side that can score five tries in 15 minutes.
Tomorrow night, someone's bubble will be pricked. To use a Sir Alex Ferguson coined phrase, the Eels are approaching "Squeaky Bum Time". The Raiders, too.
The Eels need to keeping winning to give themselves some chance of staying in the historically-c
“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes” (Macbeth, Act 4, Scene 1), said the three witches to Mitchell Moses. Just as the witches had prophesied General Macbeth would be King of Scotland if he would just slay King Duncan, the w
It's been a while since we have seen the boys in action and the Panthers game seems a long time ago. Origin is done and we can all get back to enjoying watching our team play. The Titans come into this game with some good form. Bumeater Fifita should
I still rate Vaughan. Yes what he did was dumb but I can get past it. The Dragons saw an opportunity to relieve themselves of a backended 2022 deal worth $800k. He's a quality front rower, has great hands and decent defence. He's also good mates with
“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows,” suggested George Orwell in 1984. It is possible for the Eels to beat Penrith. If that is granted, all else follows. How the Eels can achieve this feat
We've waited all season to see this match up with the high flying eels taking on the competition heavyweights, the Panthers. Much has been said about the Panthers not having Cleary and yes, he is a big out for them, but hav
The Parramatta Eels have announced the signing of their top five NRLW players for the 2021 season.
Under an NRL plan to ensure the 2021 competition has an even spread of talent, a group of elite female players have been centrally contracted and are b
Interested to get some views on how people think Junior is going?
I thought in Origin 2 where he started, that he didn't really look for work and when he did take it up, he didn't look to offload, I can only remember him passing once and maybe one off
"Correct - Cameron type guy would be good but along with some nous around him. Bennett again could be good but an understudy along with him such as a Holbrook. Brian Smith to help juniors too would be useful. He knows a bit about footy...
I know he…"
"I mean it's terrible isn't it while Melbourne and alike look for players all over the shop what are we doing lining up with everyone else looking in the same shopping window.
Then we get the sook brigade crying why other teams can get this player…"
"Muttman bought up Matt Cameron as an ex Parra guy brought through under Brian Smith as a key hire for me before they worry about FG they need to fix the layers underneath.
This in my eyes is the key hire and give him the tools to succeed.After the…"
