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

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

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?

Okay, the NRL needs to restart if it is to survive. You are in charge of restarting the competition. How do you do it?

A few rules: 

- Restart date is June 1

- You need to address quarantine and prevent the spread of COVID-19

- What are you doing reg

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.

Barrett got up and punched Marsh in the back of the head sparking a brawl.

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
