No one beats the Eels in Canberra nine times in a row and gets away with it.
The Blue and Gold travelled south to what has been a veritable graveyard since 2006, with the challenge of defeating a premiership heavyweight in front of them.
Great cut out pass for Sivo’s first try. His second try assist was a bit funny. Pretty sure the pass was intended for Opacic, but Papali’I just grabbed it and scored lol. This is what happens when you have bo
Nice try and plenty of running meters. Got crunched many times in attack by Lomax or Lavalava as we use the same predictable shape over and over and over and over … and over.
Having seemingly ignored the warning signs from Easter Monday when the Parramatta Eels managed to hold off the Wests Tigers despite continually inviting them into the contest, the Blue and Gold's old Mr Hyde personality re-emerged in full force.
How do you think Cartwright did? Would Hipgrave have been better? Would you preferbig Grieg in there or is it still too early? I thought Cartwright had a few good touches, first game in the Blue and Gold, geez we copped from the Draggies, sivo look
Overall it was a bit of an up and down game for the NSW Cup lads, there were glimpses of brilliance and excitement for depth for the NRL side. This come quickly with moments of bizarness. I'm going to go through my thoughts particularly of the player
We all know the drill. The Eels play well, beat contenders, then fail to show up against a team not expected to challenge for honours. In the opening three rounds the Eels have seen off a contenders in the Storm and a top eight aspirant in the Sharks

Something that has been bugging me for a while is how seriously flawed the voting is on the Dally Ms. Gutherson saved 4 tries in the first half on and over the line. I believe this trumps anything I saw from Papenhausen on Thursday. Brett Morris scor
Rain has been coming down all day in Parramatta. Sometimes it's been drizzling, other times so hard it becomes difficult to see. You could be forgiven for thinking the Parramatta river has rapids such is the speed and ferocity with which it is moving
It is said that “insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Though there is little evidence to support the claim Einstein invented the phrase, there is plenty of evidence that it applies to the Eels. Parra keep p
"Soon as cobbo signed I said Averillo was odd man out and probably return to sydney.
Bostock and Isaaco have been very good on the wing and Herbie not going anywhere."
"Just awful. I wonder if it hits harder being a Liverpool fan since I am one. Bloke had talent but also a family man. Leaves behind 3 kids.
Just shows the reality of life itself and how fragile it is. Live to the fullest."
