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
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

Ignore history, just blow them away: Brian Smith on the tactics Eels must adopt to upset Panthers
Few men know more about coaching Parramatta than Brian Smith. He has coached the Eels more times than anyone else in their history, with 243 games betwee
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.
I can't believe it! We're into the Grand Final! Unbelievable defence. By the stats the Cowboys were the better team but we hung in took our chances. Lost for words! Absolute true grit! Massive congrats to the players and the coaching staff.
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.
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
Rise up guys we're off to the Prelim! Outstanding team performance; we shut the Raiders out early and did not let up. Big guns stood up tonight, the most in sync I think this year. Congrats to the players and the coaching staff, well done!
"Great blog, Poppsy!
Smith indeed is some special and I can see him defo being a rep player.
TDS has speed to burn and will crucify lazy and slow ruck defence in the last 15-20 mins. He'll target tired forwards straight down the middle. I like JR's…"
