I’m prepared to go out on a limb here and declare that Parramatta has gotten Willie Tonga over the line. It's obviously not official yet but I can see the fat lady over yonder belting out a yodel.
Today, I received information from someone close to
If Chumbawamba were writing a song at Parramatta’s 2011 season it would go something like this: We get knocked down, and then we get knocked down again. And again. And again.
Once more, the Eels looked like they were go defy their lowly position on
Chris Walker has become the latest Eel to be released in 2012 joining the likes of Timana Tahu, Eric Grothe, Anthony Mitchell, Billy Rogers and Paul Whatuira as players who were contracted to the club for this season only to be relieved of that commi
This is what has really perplexed me. I've being saying since mid-way through last year that I thought Mortimer's best position was always going to be hooker. I also thought the one game he played in that position was just about his best in his last
Parramatta's chances of signing Willie Tonga have lengthened in recent days with the Sharks weighing in with a massive bid for the centre that is believed to be in excess of $400k per season.
Sources indicate that the Eels are not willing to increa
I've been keeping an eye on a Glenn Buttris' contract negotiation because he struck me as a good fit with our roster being a excellent defender and able to cover nine and 14. However, reports coming out of Canberra suggest that he is looking likely a
I fear that Parramatta had long settled on Ben Roberts as their five-eighth for next year. I fear there is going to be pressure for early wins next year at whatever the cost and that we may opt for the safe option and go into the off
So I'm picking up Fyno's statement here about what some other centres in the NRL are paid and I guess the suggestion that it warrants us throwing more coin at Tonga? So I'm interested in what people think centres are worth?
For the second week in a row, Parramatta have been downed in extra time going down 8 to 7 against the Bulldogs, despite Jarryd Hayne showing in the second half of the match that he is going to be a world-class five-eighth if he sticks with that posit
The Pirtek Parramatta Eels today announced the re-signing of a batch of youngsters Club captain Nathan Hindmarsh rates as good as any to have come through the Blue and Gold junior system.

Given it is the great Parramatta warrior's 300th game, I thought we should run a tribute thread for people to post their thoughts about their admiration for Hindy and any great memories or moments.
Got myself a fancy a new webcam yesterday, so I thought I'd have a crack at doing a video blog. It went a big longer than I expected so the gist of the video blog is to question whether it makes sense in any match for Jarryd to be locked into either
The Parramatta Eels have re-signed up-and-coming duo Taniela Lasalo and Mitchell Allgood and are confident of keeping powerful NYC front-rower Peni Tepero.
Eels Chief Executive Paul Osborne confirmed on 1Eyed Eel Fanlink today that Lasalo and Allgo
There was no 300 match celebration for Nathan Hindmarsh as Parramatta somehow manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and lost 23 to 22 against Penrith.
With one second to go Parramatta held a six point lead but then a try after the siren
It's kind of hard to believe, but if we win against the Pennies we'll move to 17 points and it's highly probably we could be one point outside the eight again. Considering we've only one about a third of our games that's staggering.
"Paulo is a shadow of what he once was and is getting worse each year. He looks like he hates the collision these days. Sadly that is what he would display if kept around as a leader for our pack for others to follow. Sam T already seems to follow in…"
