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 Parramatta GOAT

Time to settle it once and for all. Which Eel will come out on top in 1 Eyed Eel's Parramatta Greatest of All Time competition.

The bracket is below. We will start with two votes each day for the first round. Dropping to one vote per day for the foll

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?

So with Addo-Carr & Mitchell being caught out with friends & family. We now have breaking news that N Cleary has also be caught out with girls all around him when they should be be in self isolation. With the NRL trying so hard to start the comp off,

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

How would you restart the competition?

Flashback: PJ Marsh vs Trent Barrett 2005

During the Round 18 clash between the Eels and Dragons in 2005, PJ Marsh collided with Trent Barrett when attempting to charge down a kick.

We're 3 from 3, we just beat the Cowboys 12-7.

Great news, the Mighty Eels have maintained their perfect start to the season with a scracthy but hard earned win 12-7 against the NQ Cowboys in front of a sellout crowd in Townsville. The game looked all but lost after Scott Drinkwater broke the dea

Review: Eels maul Titans

In these blurst of times, rugby league is virtually our only escape. I was in need of some entertainment on Sunday evening and the Eels provided that in spades.

The 46-6 scoreline was indicative of a dominant performance and one that moved the Eels

R2 V TITANS: TWO STEPS FORWARD

And so it continues, for the second week. Next week it may be all over, and with it the immediate future of the game sinking into uncertain waters. Yet,  'tough times don't last, tough people do', applies to the game, as to us all, and it needs to f
