Ray Stone Appreciation blog

I'm a Stone fan have been for a while seeing him start and pull off some of those hits to show what he's capable off I hope it's enough to earn him a bench spot.

I'd like to see him play a bit on the edge to add a bit to his game.

The Fog Lifts

The past six weeks has felt like wading through thick fog for Parramatta fans. It was the fog we saw on the horizon and we watched as it descended into the valley and settled all around us.

It was denser than it suggested and it felt like it would ne

Great tactics well executed

Often criticised for lacking tactical smarts, BA and his senior players took a well hatched plan into last night and the team executed well as a unit... and kept Melb scoreless in the second half 

1. Move Melb wide in defence - it was most noticeable

Well done to BA and the lads, big critic of BA, but credit where credits due tonight.

Well done to BA for getting the lads up, i still think he's a massive dope but credit where credits dur tonight, its a big form turn around.

I give BA plenty of shite when we play shit, just giving the man credit when we play well.

Gives us a glimmer o

What changes would you like to see for the Parra Jersey for 2022 (I'm bored lol)

I was bloody bored in this lockdown and the footy has been shit so I decided to have some fun and make a concept jersey. I think we should really change it up because who doesn't like a nice Parra jersey and I'm sick of the current one. Here is the o

Conundrum for 2022

This blog i was planning to write a fortnight ago, though work has caught up with me and so has the talk of Parramatta overall has guided my attention elsewhere. However, the thing that i writing about today is the issue concerning the Eels for 2022.

R22 v Manly: someone let Gort loose

As Klaatu said to the Earthlings in The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) “join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer; the decision rests with you”. As Eels fans are aware, Brad

The Championship Rounds

At the start of the season, everyone circled this very period as the one that would make or break Parramatta's season. They would have the hardest run home of any side and they could either prove their premierships mettle or wilt into the background

Time to revert to Dylan on the left and Moses on the right

I understand if BA does not want to swtich Dylan Brown and Gutho. Dylan Brown has only ever played 2 games at fullback in his life and he lost both those game. So surely it is time for Dylan and Moses to go back to their original sides. The idea of t

Crash and Burn

2021 deja vu. That familiar feeling is back. That feeling in the gut that the premiership quest is once again over.

35 years since the club’s fourth premiership, it is set to enter a 36th year. The loss to the Rabbitohs doesn’t end the season. The Ee

R21 v Souths: free-falling into the rabbit hole

"Crushed like a souffle under a sledgehammer," seems more appropriate in describing the Eels' of late than it did Elon Musk's concerns over Tesla's stock a few years ago. 

And yet again our beloved Eels are flopping, torn apart by the Roosters 28-0 an
