Just in case you needed to feel some of that good old fashioned Eels disappointment on a by week, have a read of this article:

https://www.rugbyleagueeyetest.com/2024/04/29/the-parramatta-eels-have-learned-nothing-from-last-season/

Brilliantly written as always from the RL Eye Test, but far out does it strike at the heart. Here's a flavour of the article just to whet the appetite:

Agile middles with good lateral mobility are worth a premium, and the Eels don’t really have any of them. They have an excellent forward pack for the late 2010s, but an abysmal one for the mid 2020s.

Ah man it sucks to be an Eels fan.

    • He is still SG bal eligible this year. Was on the bench in origin under 19 last year. Will probs make the under 19 squad again this year. Real potential.

      • He has great potential considering our middles are ageing. Don't worry though he is learning a lot playing Flegg, he will be ready for NRL in no time, we will just play Ron Massey forwards or low potential forwards on the bench instead.

BA has told the media Mitch is unlikely for next week and Origin 1. Probably good that he doesn't rush back just to help NSW and get hurt again. Hopefully he's good to go for RD 14 v doggies.

"Great stuff HOE. This needs to be emailed to every board member. The stats are rather sobering. 
Bad luck is the 50/50 calls go against you the bulk of the time. Dropping balls, poor kick chase, or throwing the ball over the sideline, isn't bad…"

"You won't regret it... in case you're going beyond just pool coping i.e. alfresco or somewhere else on a slab, you can get the trav in 2 different thicknesses... saves a fair bit of coin. Coping has to be the 1" or 25mm or whetever it is... but then…"
