2011 NYC Season Preview

How well Parramatta’s NYC team fare in 2011 will almost certainly be impacted by whether some of its top talent make the progression to NRL this year.

Jacob Loko and Patrick O’Hanlon will be in the top tier of NYC talent going around this year, and

The Gardening Blog

Hi guys, I know we have at least a couple of green thumbs so I thought I'd try my luck at tapping into that expertise.

I have a little patch of backyard I want to put a garden into. We want to go for a bit of Bali garden feel, at the moment its jus

Rory Brien as a centre option

If you noted the comments Brad Arthur made in my post earlier today, Rory Brien has really impressed in pre-season and I wonder if he's a smokie for that centre position.

Brien is an excellent defender and while he won't set the world on fire in at

The Great 1Eyed Eel Parramatta Webopedia

Hi guys,

One thing I've wanted to do for a long time is to create a knowledge base surrounding the history of the clubs and all its players and so forth.

I'm thinking now might be a good time to do it, so I'm putting the call out for some contrib

Gritty Eels can still compete in 2011: Arthurs

Parramatta Eels assistant coach Brad Arthurs has confirmed that the Blue and Gold will aim for a “gritty” style of football, that will represent a marked departure from the way the club has played in recent years.

Speaking to 1Eyed Eel at a signing

Any more options?

I still think it likely we'll pick up another centre. From my quick research, these are probably the only blokes I can see who might be options. If you know of any others (or if these blokes have been picked up by someone else already) throw them up

The death of the specialist winger

The retirement of Eric Grothe Jnr puts up another nail in the coffin of specialist wingers. In an era where management of one’s salary cap is as crucial to success as any other factor, fewer and fewer clubs are willing to put big money into specialis

I want freedom: Grothe sidesteps hectic future to end an Eels era

ERIC GROTHE didn't think he wanted it badly enough. Not as much as the coach did, not as much as his teammates did, and not as much as the young upstart who might be waiting on the wing did.

When new Parramatta coach Stephen Kearney addressed his pla

Hicks signing confirmed

Anyone going to Rouse Hill on Sunday?

Will definitely be there and will try and snag a few interviews too. 

If you see me, say hello!

NRL power must shift to Football club

For any Parramatta fan the real take-out from this week, is not that Eric Grothe has left or that Chris Hicks is likely coming. It’s another reminder that the Parramatta Football Club is a hollow entity that has little real power, and as such the run

New blog category for general League discussions

One interesting aspect of the site across the off-season is that the Social Blogs and even the Trash Blogs have been much busier and indeed I think there was one stage during the last week where four of the top five blogs were from the Social categor

A year to forget but lets look to the future

So with the end of the year now on our doorstep, I wanted to take the opportunity to write down some of my final thoughts on what has been something of an ‘annus horribilis’ for the Parramatta Eels.

But before we look at some of the more depressing

Looks like Timmy Mannah's leg is coming along well
