What another Boring Year for Eels Fans

Towards the end of the 2025 NRL season I think a majority of Eels fans had some form of optimism for 2026 hoping it might be a possible top 8 position for the Eels.

However, this year has turned into one of the worst so far on record with Eels defence one of the worst on record since 1995 and plumetting.

If this year gets any worse it most certainly looks like a Wooden Spoon or very very close to it with the only likely opposition is the Dragons but once they start putting a few wins on the board they'll easily overtake the Eels whose for and against is the worst of all NRL teams.

It seriously needs to be questioned IF Jason Ryles and his assistants Nathan Brown and Sam Moa were the correct choices and IF the fitness and conditioning coach is even qualified because this is the most unfit and mentally unconditioned Eels team I've ever seen.

Where to from here? Who seriously knows.

The Eels can't attract any decent quality players and the current squad with or without injured players are bog average.

Considering it's been 40 years since the Eels last premiership it has to be asked what is Mark O'Neil, Jim Satantinos actually doing to fix this longest premiership drought in NRL history because from the outside looking in they certainly aren't doing anything accept collect their pay cheque.

The current idea floating around seeking tempory short term player loans from.other clubs isn't the answer. In fact, it could make matters worse and is really only a band aid trying to cover up more deeper serious problems.

              • I thought someone here once said they do look at 1EE, or have a look once in a while. They would know our thoughts for sure. MON would know the thoughts of many here too. 

                The media are loving laugh as Parramatta stories are getting more prevalent and on the negative side.

                • Notice how they are starting to talk about ryles and his short comings in regards to our defence but no mention of our recruitment and retention which has been diabolical. O'Neil seems to have a few media buddies.

        • And you do obviously😂🤣 Good to blow your own trumpet 

          • I have come to the conclusion that you really don't even have the brains of a knatt

            • Hey Bobbie, 

              I have said for a while now that Malley57 is a plant on this site, a white anter and an infiltraitor.

              Trying to physco analyse IEE from inside the asylum ia as laughable as you can get.

              Stop and think the title he has used "boring" shit it is anything but boring, you could not imagine any one being more boring than Mallee actually.....someone said recently that negativity on social media runs about 3 times more than positivity.....I will tell you what was boring, watching St George winning 11 consecutive premierships, listening to people like Mallee wanting to sack the coach and everything else in between to satisfy his long term existence as a loser is boring. You can tell them a mile away......

              Go back and read his post's and blog's, the message was always there, just waiting to be delivered.

              Being a Parramatta supporter and experiencing all the challenges and experiencing success intermingled with the process has never been boring for me, I would suggest i have had as many experiences as most normal people on this site......its the one's that go down to the "boring brain bank" and come home with the idiots brain that are the morons and dumb fcuks on here, no need to sign on to be known LOL

              PS Bobbie is an old battler, as good as bloke you are going to come across, he has horses which he loves, he follows Parra who he also loves and last Sunday he had a racehorse which he has a small share win its first start in a race......do you think he is bored.....Bloody Oath not, meeting people like Bobbie on this site (he is Sluggy's twin if you didn't know) is what makes it all worthwhile, where there are winners, there are also losers.....we need to be gracious with all parties. 

              If you think Jim Saratinos is not just as passionate as any of us, then you don't know much about us at all.

            • Do you actually mean a 'fly' or a 'Knat' as they do differ. 

              • Pick one because you're it fool

                • So in conclusion you really haven't concluded anything really accept you like knats and flies but very unsure about Eels 🧐 hmm 🤔 this is very interesting. 

  • Bloody hell, still early days. We scrape ourselves off the bottom soon. We are riddled with injuries and NRL has it in for the club but f**k them, we'll be fine.

"Yes definately. I have no issues with people having a go at someone either coach, player or admin for not doing a good job. But you know when they are not trying. I think taking Lomax to court was case in point Sarantinos, MON and board are trying."

We could not get what we wanted but we made damn sure that Melb, Ugly Pete and Lomax didn't get what they wanted either. I am also fine with that.
Fuck 'em all, write it off, no…"
