This blog is inspired by Tommyboy's post regarding the saying from his old man "Just because a Puppy was born in a stable, doesnt make it a Horse"
I'm also a big fan of these quips, so I thought it would make a nice social blog.
Here's one to sta
Read more…Could this be the start of 2009-like revival? And just maybe it will be that man, Jarryd Hayne, who re-ignites the Eels, but this time it could be from the five-eighth position after he led Parramatta to a comfortable 22 to six win from that position
Read more…So first up this is a blog about next year. However, I'm starting to wonder with our roster whether we might not be suited by a lock-style five-eighth.
Next year, I'm sure we'll seek to use Sandow as a dominant half back and given the role that Ja

I think we really need some pace in t

Stephen Kearney has retained his side that has gone close to toppling competition heavyweights St George Illawarra and Manly in recent w

Parramatta went within three minutes of a massive upset against the Sea Eagles, with a late try sinking the Eels 22 to 18 at Brookvale.
The match started disastrously for Parramatta when they onceded a ridiculously simple try in the first five minu
There’s still plenty of games left in season 2011 but tonight’s 25 to 12 loss to Canberra has made the finals equation so much more difficult for the Parramatta Eels.
The match was really lost in the first half, when Canberra dominated territory and
So given it's pretty obvious we're not going to see Jarryd at six anytime soon, I keep thinking about what Parramatta needs to do to accomodate a fullback, who plays like a five-eighth. My feel is we miss that traditional fullback, who plays primaril
Read more…Thought we should have a live thread that those of us listening to the game can contribute to, so others can get an idea of how the game went.
Observations so far. A lot of dropped ball so far. Reni Maitua is playing. Mortimer kicked a 40/20. Chris

On one-hand I think he is the greatest tactician in Rugby League, on the other hand I think he is an arrogant dick he lets his ego get in the way of greater success.
He changed the game with his

Personally, I haven't had an issue. I simply gloss over what I consider to be rubbish contributions.
It's the same as if you us

O’Hanlon’s signature joins that of exciting fullback and playmaker Marmin Barba
The Parramatta Eels are aware of the Canberra Raiders' bid to establish a feeder club arrangement within their western Sydney heartland.
The Raiders have begun preliminary discussions with the Mounties in a bid to enter a side in next year's NSW Cup.

He gives us two opti

:-P
Read more…That draw will have an interesting impact on our table position. Basically it takes our for and against out of the equation, as we're unlikely to be level with other teams in the competition.
If we're really lucky we could be one point outside of
