I realise posting this is going to give ammunition to the haters, but thought people might be interested to know that Jorge Taufua has been named this week for Manly, so will make a return to Parramatta Oval.
Jorge actually got into the 17 for the D

Hills Sports High is probably our best junior nursery right now - given they've won the last two Schoolboys cups and they've

Matchday comments here...
If there is one thing that continues to baffle me with the club, is that it seems regardless of who is running the joint, we seem to see a succession of really stupid, careless mistakes that end up making us look totally unprofessional and clueless.
Read more…I've commented a few times on the situation I feel Parramatta is struggling with presently, in that I believe our structures have been designed to make best use of Jarryd Hayne, but without Hayne there we simply don't have a player who can fill the v
Read more…Imagine in early 2011, you'd dropped a hunjy on the Eels to lose in the rain and have doubled up every game since. I'm pretty sure, you'd have doubled your money about a dozen times since now.
Read more…I think if the Eels win tonight, we might see Kearney's contract extension announced this week. Either way it is coming sooner rather later, and my understanding is that Peter Nolan has also had his contract extended. I'm pretty certain that wouldn't
Read more…It sounds alarming doesn’t it? The first time the Eels have lost three in a row since the early nineties, and the latest defeat a thumping, record-breaking massacre. It’s probably not surprising then - that Eels fans - fickle beasts at the best of ti

The Eels were forced to make a late change with Fuifui Moimoi withdrawing with a knee injury a
For me the most pleasing aspect of this season, is that perhaps my two biggest concerns with our roster have proven to be lesser issues than I thought they would be. Specifically:

But then crash, bang, reality hit and the Eels suffered defeat yet again - albeit w

I think he'll be better as a centre than winger but it was a pretty decent debut. As I said in another thread he made some good pressure relieving runs from dummy half, but I don't know what he was doing on that first try (Yes Normo you wer
