What you saw tonight was why the club has such confidence in MK. He's getting his confidence back now and he had an absolutely mighty game - huge number of tackles, good smart runs out of dummy half and great service all night.
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
Just wanted to point out a stat from the NYC game. Vai Toutai, aside from scoring two tries, knocked up 11 tackle breaks, plus six one-on-one tackles. Given Vai could have been playing Under 18s this year, he truly is going great guns - and not to di
They may have just fallen short of bringing home the two points, but Parramatta’s mighty effort to hold the competition heavyweights - St George - to a 14 all draw just may mark this side’s growth into a team that will hold its own against any in the
It was deja vu when Parramatta again went down by two points to Newcastle in a wet, low-scoring affair at Newcastle that almost mirrored precisely last year’s contest.
In miserable, slippery conditions, the Eels absorbed plenty of early pressure aft
I'd really like to see Parramatta follow through on all the talk of retaining our best young talent and start making some announcements about who we're retaining.
Let's start with Taniela Lasalo - who again was outstanding tonight. Taniela has been
If I had to pick one single positive aspect from this year so far, it's the fact that Parramatta has strung together two hard-fought, gutsy wins at Parramatta Stadium.
I'm sure all ticket holders got to the point where they were not just sick of th
THE PIRTEK EELS received a boost today with in-form prop Shane Shackleton cleared of any major damage to his right eye, with medical staff confirming he is likely to be fit for this Saturday’s clash in Newcastle.
I think Jacob has proved he definitely deserves to hold down that centre position coming into next year. Quite amazing the progress he has made on his defence over the last month. Still has a few errors in his game, but I think the club can confident
It’s no secret that, to date, Parramatta’s 2011 season has lurched along. There have been periods of greats promise; complete, miserable drubbings but mostly Parramatta’s performances have fallen somewhere between the two - good periods, followed by
Just a heads-up, I'm asking the mods to be more aggressive in removing duplicate blogs. From here-on in, if there is a straight duplicate the second blog will be copied into the first (where appropriate or if not we'll just note that we've
RYAN MORGAN & CARL WEBB RETURN FOR THE PIRTEK EELS
THE Pirtek Eels welcome back Ryan Morgan this week following a serious pectoral injury to Joel Reddy which is likely to sideline the 25-year-old for the rest of the season.
Bit by bit, Stephen Kearney's plan for the future is starting to crystallize.
Over the next two years we can expect to a score of 1. Hayne 6, Roberts, 7. Sandow. I would expect Hayne to move to six after that, with the club making a play at a retur
The trend in modern day Rugby League for a good number of years in relation to halves has been to move away from the traditional first receiver, second receiver and for the halves to instead play either side of the ruck.
Jarryd Hayne secured himself a sky-blue jersey with a brilliant performance but it still wasn’t enough, as Parramatta surrendered a sixteen point lead to eventually go down 40 to 26.
The Eels started well with Tim Mannah and Fuifui Moimoi making big
"Did you watch him play in this years final for Souths? He was owned by old man Gagai. Laurel went missing all game although he did pass the ball from dummy half a lot to the other outside backs to work it out of their end. Massive NO."
"Where have i said you said it ? However you did say we shouldve paid Brown and seem to be insinuating that we stuffed up by not paying Brown dumb money as you claim we cant replace him.
What are we trying to replace out of curiosity ? As the…"
