Thoughts on the Grand Final, the season and what the Eels need going forward.

To start of, like everyone else I am shattered that the Eels didn't win and went out the way they did, but if I look back at the season and how inconsistent they were over 2022, the result was to be expected. I am still super proud of them for making

Ryan Matterson laughs at his teams grand final loss

Is this bloke SERIOUS!

Yesterday he says his team isnt worth 4K,

Today the bloke laughs at his team being mocked!

This money mercenary is NOT a team player and he should NEVER be captain.

Meanwhile, teammate Ryan Matterson said the Panthers’ celebrations

Something a bit different; who would you rather?

So going into 2023, both our starting wingers, Sivo and Blake, are off contract. Meaning usher in the future. Dunster is signed til 2025 though returning from an ACL, MCL & PCL tear in the knee. Russell is the other one just turning 20, playing 3 gam

Blessing in disguise

I know it doesn't seem like it now but you have to lose one to win one and this experience is going to do the boys and the squad the world of good.

It might seem like we can't challenge for the title next year but I think we can with a few key signin

Matterson speaks out about that fine and that tackle

Going forward and fulfilling our next level of Development.

I wrote this as a post on the other Blog I posted after the game.....Hopefully it outlines a thinking process that can take us on the next leg of the journey.

The pathways concept is something that is dear to me and I am pleased to see they addressin

BA Hasnt Sanctioned What Matto did. - Matterson Continues to Pay The Price Article.

Another Article aimed at Matterson. A good read. Also those that are saying BA has sanctioned or agreed with Mattersons stance. Make no mistake their is absolutely no indication what so ever that BA has agreed with this. It is not in his interest, i

Liam Martin close to signing a three-year extension with Penrith

Well that was a good run, i never understood the interest for a few reasons. 1) he would demand top back-row money, like 700k plus, surprised we would go for that instead of developing another player, keeping Papali'i would have been cheaper than Mar

Aaron Pene

Has anyone else heard that we have signed him for 2023? The warriors have just released him, he's a very good young player think he'd be a great Marata replacement. With the signings of Hodgson, Murchie and Hopgood were shaping up well in recruitment

World cup selections and Pre season

So a positive for us is the lack of representation in the world cup the players who play in the world cup can't return to training till 6 weeks after they finish rep duties historically the teams that have a big representation at World cups tend to s

FU@CKEN WANKERS

I thought we had have some wankers on this website but compared to the Penrith Dickheads we have none.

As Kenty said  “Honestly, at some point these blokes have got to be asked to act like men. They’re carrying on like 16-year-old school boys.”

Eels' Matterson chooses ban over fine

Parramatta forward Ryan Matterson has knocked back a $4000 fine offered for the crusher tackle he made in the NRL grand final and will instead miss the first three games of the 2023 season.

The NRL amended its judiciary code in June to reduce the like

Eels Grand Final Preparation

Fox League’s James Hooper and Braith Anasta have questioned the Parramatta Eels’ preparation leading into their grand final loss to the Penrith Panthers.

The Eels opted to scrap a team bus and instead travel to the team individually or with their part

WHY PENRITH ARE BECOMING THE NEW MANLY

There is no denying their effort in the Grand Final, however humility is not one of their qualities. 

Not since the Broncos beat St George in 92 Grand Final have i heard so much sledging of their defeated opposition.

Throw in the Telegraphs  slagging a

Bold Prediction - Panthers Won't Make Top 4 in 23

This is my Bold Prediction for 2023. The Penrith ( I'm Your Daddy ) Panthers won't make the Top 4 in 2023 and they definitely won't be in the Grand Final in 2023.

Improvers next year will be:

1. Bulldogs 

2. Cowboys - Grand Final appearance 

3. Sharks 

4.

Any young players to look out for?

We are losing quite a bit of talent this year are ther any younger players that may fill the void? Need some backrrowers and another prop off the bench.

Another outside back Dunster will return so that's a bonus. 

Daddy Loves You

well ok I got a mouth full of sour grapes, but that Penrith team are pathetic winners.    To chant "we hate Parra" at their fan day today and all the social media crap from Liu and Fisher-Harris comments on stage what a jerk....

ok back under my rock.

out coached

Ivan Cleary would have known that if the Eels had at least 50% of posession that his team would struggle. 

It looked like both teams wanted to get points early and then shut the other team down and force them to 
play catch up football. 

But Penrith wer

Embarrassing winners

This Panthers team need to be taught a lesson. They are a great team. No one can deny them that. They deserve to be winners. But I don't think in the history of professional sport have I ever seen a bunch of winners act like a bunch of arrogant loser

BA needs to improve

I've been pretty vocal on here as have a lot of others that from the outside in it doesn't look like BA is a coach ready to take a team all the way.

Credit to him though, he got us into the last game of the year, went further than he has ever been bef
