Excellent read from Jason Taylor about how to play the Broncos

Johnny Mannah looked well

Didn't Johnny Mannah look well on the footy show last night.

About Anthony Mitchell

Given not all of you know much about Anthony Mitchell, I thought I'd share a few insights into him.

Oake is back, Shack not far behind

While I doubt he'll come into contention this week, due to lack of fitness, according to the Eels website Brendan Oake is back this week after breaking his thumb. Given Ben Smith's suspension is for two weeks I'm sure Oakey will come back into conten

Analysis: No respect for the kicking game

I'm still hung over. And I was watching the game from the side of the ground where there were exactly zero points last night. And while I've had an opportunity to have a look at the highlights, I've not yet seen the full replay. But let's take a crac

I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE...

It's Friday 13th August. Unlucky for some, but not the Parramatta Eels. Facing off against a Brisbane Broncos outfit missing their captain and inspirational Darren Lockyer, the Eels score a hard-fought win that doesn't set the world on fire, but it k

Here comes the Locomotion

He’s still ten days short of his 18th birthday, but having signed a new two-year deal with the Parramatta Eels, it seems a safe bet to predict that Jacob Loko will make his NRL debut wearing the Blue & Gold.

However, will it be at centre where he ha

Lack of support for Feleti Mateo

I was enthused to see Feleti very involved in the match early on in the game, but what is with the lack of support. If we're going to use Feleti as an attacking weapon, it needs to be based on supporting him. He's taking the ball too wide and when th

Who are we going to play in the grand final?

So, as you would have seen in my other blog I've already pencilled us in for the grand final (go on bring on your cold water, Darkie, I'm not afraid).

2011 Top 25

Here's my crack at a top 25 for next year. One star denotes current players we may retain, two stars denotes outside players we may look to pick up. I've just used players who have been mentioned in dispatches that I think would fit well. You could o

Why Parra will prevail in 2010

If you want to see why Parramatta can win the 2010 Premiership, go back to the 6th minute of last week’s game against the Bulldogs and just take a look at the footwork, strength and skill on display.

Here’s a link to go watch it. But before you go,

Lets support a local junior

Some of you will remember the post I wrote about three Parra boys making the Australian Schoolboys team - Matthew Eisenhuth, Jacob Gagan and Trent Jennings.
