Eric Grothe Snr’s appointment to the Parramatta Leagues Club board came under scrutiny tonight, when former CEO Denis Fitzgerald asked at the annual AGM whether Grothe had served the required three years as a Leagus Club member.
The Pirtek Parramatta Eels today announced Hall of Fame member Eric Grothe Snr was last night selected to fill the vacancy on the Club’s Board of Directors.
Grothe joins the Parramatta NRL Board after having serv
We've had a few trouble makers hi-jacking people's profiles and what not, and they keep coming back so for a while I'm going to manually approve new members.

Whenever politics starts getting mixed up with football, we clearly have certain members who favour various factions and we fall into personal attacks and name calling.

Firstly, let me say that for the most part I've been satisfied with the performance of our administration over the course of 2011. I've spoken, or at least, met with most of the directors and with Paul Osborne and I've found them to be passionate abo
So we're obviously well into the silly season, and I just want to ask people to be very careful about posting rumours that can damage individuals or the club.
Clearly, there is a lot of negativity surrounding the club right now. In these situations

My son took to inventing his own secret language over the weekend, and as we were throwing ideas around I came up with the idea for the Official Eels Dialect.
I'm not sure whether I should call it Fui-ese of Fuish, open to suggestions, though.
One thing is for sure, William Hopoate won’t be playing wing when he joins the Parramatta Eels. The question is, does the club have him pegged as a fullback or centre?
In the signing thread, Blue&Gold opines that the “we will be the envy of every te
Parramatta CEO Paul Osborne has scoffed at the figures bandied about in relation to the club's recruitment of Will Hopoate, at today's press conference where the signing was officially announced.
When asked about the figures touted in newspapers, Osb
I think one of the most pleasing aspects of our recruitment, from my point of view, is that there has been a very obvious focus on young talent and assuming we can hold on to most of these blokes it really does augur well for our future.
Paul Osborne didn't want to comment on when Parramatta knew Will Hopoate was coming to the club at today's press conference, but it was a done deal from at least August.
I have previously revealed that I was given information from a trusted member of
Given there is going to be a likely spike in traffic due to the Hopoate signing, I thought I'd sneak in a post about working out a date for this year's 1Eyed Christmas party. It didn't happen last year, and I'm keen to make one happen for this year g
I'm yet to watch the replay of Saturday's game but I was just looking through the number of minutes played and if they're accurate they're quite interesting.
When it got down to it, Parramatta simply didn’t deserve the 2011 wooden spoon. And they demonstrated that in emphatic fashion with a 32 to 12 victory over official last placegetters, the Gold Coast Titans.
Pirtek Parramatta Eels coach Stephen Kearney has retained the side that went down in golden point extra-time to the Sydney Roosters last Friday ahead of Saturday’s battle with the Gold Coast at Skilled Park.
Once again, Parramatta managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with another golden point loss, having led 12 to nil with less than fifteen minutes to go.
A Braith Anasta field goal sunk the Eels as they went down 13 to 12 in another Parram
