the true eels

3. Parramatta Eels

Like the Cowboys, the Eels were pre-season favourites and should really be challenging for the top four. In reality, they will be lucky to avoid a wooden spoon. This despite having a stacked roster and a coach who has a brilliant resume.

Moses and Norman have been shadows of their 2017 selves, Clint Gutherson is being bounced around and can’t seem to find his groove. Bevan French was a superstar last season but is a fringe reserve grader.

The forwards are being monstered in almost every contest. Jarryd Hayne has provided nothing more than the odd distraction. Words really can’t sum up the horror that has been the Eels 2018. Almost no chance of finals while jobs look to be in huge danger. Incredible.

Grading: F

during the round 13 NRL match between the Parramatta Eels and the Newcastle Knights at ANZ Stadium on June 2, 2018 in Sydney, Australia.

    Worst rooster in the competition always going to be a contender for the spoon

    Poppa I think you’ll find Shane has cut this from somewhere and it’s not his work .

    Sorry Poppa but Kris is right as I just copied from the Dan Nicoles from zero tackle and I can not take credit for it.

    We over achieved last year, this year we have under achieved, it is what it is.

    Hayne distraction lol, I think the game he was injured in he gave away a nice ball for a try before the long lay off, I also know he has scored some himself. Stop thinking Hayne going to produce the same magic as in 2009, it's not going to happen, he not at fullback, he not calling the shots, he only gets ball when it's passed to him not when he demands it.

Mitch should kick a few balls, make 1-2 tackles, pass the ball once or twice and then come off.
