Eels finish season 3rd - best result since 2005

Yes the finals now begin and the slate is wiped clean, and whilst the boys can't look backwards yet there is something worth celebrating as fans.

All out attack mentality

BA on his media rounds tonight has said he takes full responsibility for the loss . We've built our season on defence and we went into the Souths game with an all out attack mentality which confused the players. 

We're going to go back to our style an

Brown Replacement options

so i think the obvious choice will be Jai Field and BA will most likely go that way but ill run a few options here.

The biggest negative in field is he hasn't been playing footy this is a league wide problem with no reserve grade so at least with jai

Team Review - Outside Back Defence? & BA Grow some Balls?

Gutho - tried hard but wasnt his night in attack today. His passing game was slightly off, giving the ball behind his players at times. Every pass from Ribbits were perfect. Grade C.

Sivo - OVERRATED. OVERRATED. Every try he scores is served up on a p

OUTSIDE THE ZONE

Attack "sells tickets but defence wins championships," was coined by the legendary, late Amercian football coach, Paul "Bear" Bryant. His teams' aggressive defences won championships. Apparently, he even wrestled with bears as a younger lad. 

And so

okay all you keyboard super coaches, with no time for complacency, what's the game plan for Tomorrow night V Bunnies?

I for one would tell moses and mahoney to kick early in the count, behind Mitchell to gas him out (similar to dragons tactic againgst

Eels vs Storm 3, 2, 1

Well I suppose that was our best performance for quite a while, but only for our constant high energy. Still so much to work on with the ball, though I will admit we would not have beaten Melbourne if we didn't throw the ball around and wear them out

Match Preview: No Better Opportunity

One of the key ingredients to a Premiership run is a little bit of luck, and then the ability and conviction to take advantage of the opportunity that presents itself.

The Parramatta Eels will get no better opportunity to take down the Melbourne Stor

How much salary cap space do we have for next year? Who would you be recruiting for next year?

Anybody want to take a stab and guess how much cap space we have next year?

We need another big bopper imo, somebody who can bend the line.

Hollis and Hughes are both untested at this level, we have lost Evans, and probably the Polar Bear(no real loss

The Mind games and Melbourne Storm.

I am as filthy as the next person about last nights performance. We had excuses, we had rough calls, we were probably fatigued from the heavy game the week before. Saints had things to play for, emotions were driving them.  All of those things are fa
