ALL NRL CLUBS TO BE RELOCATED TO QLD

Heading tells all

Vaughan sacked by Dragons effective immediately. Do we sign him?

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

R16 v Panthers: time to claw back?

“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

Eels name NRLW Top 5

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

Junior Paulo

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

The game behind the game - player managers hold the real power

Would anyone be interested to see a club by club breakdown of their top 30 players and coach to see who holds the power at that club?

For my own interest I've started researching which players and coaches are managed by which player managers.

NSW Cup Rd 15 Blog - Eels vs Mounties

Our NSW cup game against Mounties (Dogs reserve grade team) will be streamed on Foxtel / Kayo tomorrow at 11:30am AEST. I just thought to create a blog that is similar to what Grunta does for the first grade games.  Really excited to watch the game.

R15 v Dogs: Keeping The Momentum Going

This will be the 150th club game between these two with one of the fiercest rilvaries that began in 1947 at Belmore. And we have played the Dogs more than any other side in the competition.

In the last two weeks, the Eels have bounced back after their

R14 v Tigers: back from the afterlife?

“I have come here to chew bubble gum, and kick ass. And I am all out of bubble gum,” said the Eels to the Newcastle Old Boys reunion last week (They Live). While a depleted Knights were little more than roadkill in the Eels’ 40-4 victory in Round 13,

Will the real Eels please stand up?

With many Eels fans saying our season was dead and BA should be shown the door normal service resumed today. Against an understrength Knights side the Eels were clinical and solid in attack and defence. Forward dominance and offloads were back and th

R13 v The Knights: History Repeating Itself or Is There Hope, Really?

"It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up" is a Lombardi maxim that applies for the Eels for the rest of the year. Perhaps, forever.

This week, facing a heavily depleted Knights missing a galaxy of their stars, the Eels are expec

Throughout the video, Sterlo highlights:

• the flaws of our defenisve system (how it is too compressed)
• the poor decision making of the inside defenders

Farewell to a gentleman

A lot of people don’t get 1Eyed Eel. They see the argy bargy, the cynicism, the venting after each shitty performance, and they can too-quickly jump to conclusions about what the site is all about. Those that don’t get it, never get to learn that it’

Groundhog Day: BA time to go?

Many on this site and in the wider rugby league community predicted what would happen on Saturday night. 

The Rabbitohs exposed Parramatta's right edge defence to the tune of six tries.

Brad Arthur's solution of switching Waqa Blake and Tom Opacic wa

Dylan Brown brings balance to the force.

He's been sorely missed. We sweated it out vs the Warriors and were belted by Manly and Souths alike. Competely exposed as a defensive unit making us look like a bottom 4 side the last 2 weeks. Blasted away and never had a hope once the opposition sn

Its with great sadness that our beloved Sir Col The Mushroom passed away at 3am This morning

Adrianna Col's wife rang me with the news he passed peacefully this morning.

She asked me to hold back releasing this news until now so that all family members were aware.

Col's wife and daughters have done a unbelievable job in nursing him through thi

Moses and Matterson Extend with Eels

The Parramatta Eels are pleased to announce that the Club and our halfback, Mitchell Moses, have agreed to terms on a contract extension, to the end of 2024.

Ryan Matterson has exercised his option for the 2022 NRL season.

Moses joined the Club in the
