R16 v Bunnies: Groundhog Day?

“What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?”, asked Phil Connors (Bill Murray) in Groundhog Day (1993). Just like the loser sitting next to Phil in that bar, who replied “th

Parramatta- Playing shitcunts into form since 1987!

BA

Regardless of what happens this 2nd half.. the first half was yet another example of this side not looking prepared to play.

Limited intensity, Unorganised compressed defence (which Souths have easily gotten us with over and over for 5 years), attenti

Worth noting

It was this time last year our form slump hit.

Similar time in 2020

Only this time we don't have the ladder position to offer security if only we front loaded our efforts 

This team always lets us down

A big win over the roosters in a absolute A1 performance, week later another bullshit performance. Another game getting pumped by 30. Lol to everyone that thinks we're doing anything this year. Top 4 is gone and washed. Our clubs an absolute laughing

BA Milestone

tonight's effort leads to BA's 100th loss since taking over full-time in 2014. Averaging roughly 10-11 losses per year so far on that record.

his record now is 217 games, 113 wins, 104 losses, 52% win percentage.

Game Plan?

Anyone else feel we lack a gameplan at times. We are a top 4 side but at times seem do not to have a top 4 gameplan. Souths always run around the outside of us using their shape and alas they did it easily in the first 20 again. We tuck the ball unde

Matto in doubt?

According to NRL Physio on Facebook, Matto has a rib cartilage issue and is in doubt this week. NRL Physio is usually pretty accurate. 

Hopgood

panthers played bears last night in a top of table clash. Didn’t see the game but the stats from Hopgood are v impressive. 15 runs for over 160 metres along with 50 tackles. Play the ballspeed of less than 3 seconds too. 30 touches with 15 passes.  H

Our spirit animal ???

I wish we could replicate the strength and fortitude of the eel tonight 🤔this article describes them as much more capable than I thought they were - interesting 

Matt Moylan

Seeing he's off contract at season's end, anyone else reckon we should make a move as a replacement for Reed Mahoney?  Reported to be on around $350k so chances are we won't have to pay overs to secure him.

Let’s get him

EELS PINCH RISING DRAGON

The Dragons have lost another of their promising juniors - this time to the Eels.

Jack Burrows, a strapping 18-year-old prop, has been a standout for renowned league nursery St Gregory's College at Campbelltown for the past couple of years but has sli

Another one for the conspiracy theorist

COACHING SPECULATION

“There’s a theory that the Eels’ Premiership window will be well and truly closed if they don’t get the job done this year, and Brad Arthur’s head could be on the chopping block if they don’t at least make a Prelim. Some have even

For the Conspiracy Theorists

Well it is NRL 360 , but it looks like the medical retirement narrative has started for Luke Keary ..... 

So is it Dylan Brown , Matt Burton or Cam Munster to the now "cashed up" Roosters 

I know this was brought up on a earlier blog a few weeks ago ..

Lodge signs with roosters

Thought they had cap issues and didn't the nrl price him for 20k a game?
