Parramatta Eels halves options

The Parramatta Eels will have to do without livewire halfback Mitchell Moses after he succumbed to a calf injury midway through his side's match against the Canberra Raiders. Head coach Brad Arthur has revealed it's a recurrence of a previous calf in

BLOCK 1 done, BLOCK 2 expectations

I think I've read previously or heard coaches state that they generally set team goals for the season in 3 x blocks of 8 games, so given it's a 20 week comp we have just finished out first "block" 

It was always going to be a big challenge even withou

R7 v RAIDERS: ANOTHER CHARACTER TEST; WHO WILL MAKE AMENDS ?

Sir Alex Ferguson used to judge the character of a player by how much of a "sore loser" they were. There's a saying: "if you can accept losing, you can't win". At least, not anything of note; and we can't accept last week's loss, just because we show

The Real Deels

The Sydney Roosters showed why they're favoured to become the first team since the Eels of the 80s to three-peat when they overcame the Blue and Gold on Saturday night in the best game of the season so far.

But in losing, the Eels displayed qualities

Brown facing two weeks

Not sure if this has been discussed, but Nathan Brown facing two weeks for his hot on Radley. Got to love his enthusiasm but its no good if he is rubbed out for weeks at a time. He's only just come back.Does he tone it down and we risk losing his agg

R6 v Roosters: A Point To Prove; When History Meets A Heavyweight Champion

Both teams are vying for a place in history. The Eels have shown heart, but recently the Roosters have looked like rock-star Gods again and deserve favouritism in this match. But, both teams face potentially their greatest tests of 2020, so far. Natu

The Big Swinging Dick of the NRL has arisen.

We've skipped past the one city team, the Broncos and are now breathing down South's neck. The vast legion of Eels fans are slowly coming out of the woodworks. If a premiership was to come, I'm sure we'd be aiming up close to 40.000 members. We've go

Battle of the West, which Eel performs best? The poll below will open at 10pm for voting. Man of the match will be determined by first past the post as will 3,2,1.

R5 V PANTHERS: WILL WE GO UP A NOTCH?

The Battle Of The West against the Chocolate soldiers. Two undefeated teams, in form, looking hungrier than they were last year.

Unsurprisingly, following our best start in thirty one years, we’re favourites $1.57 to $2.35 at Bankwest, where we've won

Dylan Brown - Just like Brett Kenny he finds the try line.

For a kid that's just turning 20 playing in one of the most demading positions in the game, he's crossed over the try line 8 times in 19 NRL games. He's one of the most prolific 5/8's in the competition.

He's not only tuned on offensively but possesse

The use of one referee will send the game backwards

Peter V'Landys' decision to drop to one referee will send the game back to where it was more than a decade ago. Where the wrestle was worse and teams got away with murder in the ruck.

The dual referee system has been in effect for over a decade. It's

Impact of the reduced comp (20 rounds)

1. No representative rounds. Big gain for teams with many rep players. Think we come out about even here as we could have lost three or four players.

2. No bye. This is an advantage for the teams in the top four or so as they will have a buffer to res

Three down.... how many to go?

THE BEST EELS 13 SINCE 2000

I have been watching all the league matches over the last few days on Fox Tv. There are many Eels players I have completely forgotten or did not realise even played for Eels. We had great teams in 2001,2005,2009 and 2017,2019.

There could be several p

Parra- The Dynasty

I'm not crying. Just got something in my eye.

I was lucky as I grew up with the success. I salute all the Parra fans who passed on, that lived all through the wooden spoons but never had the chance to see the Eels be crowned Premiers. I also salute th
