NRL Market Watch: Latest Parramatta Eels signing could seal Ryan Matterson’s exit

Davey, 30, is returning home after debuting for Parramatta back in 2020.

Bolstering their backrow depth could be deemed

Arthur provides clarity over Nathan Brown's future

BA practically was straight to the point it is a business, not him wanting to leave or us pushing him out, simply he wanted clarity for past 2023 and we said 2023 will be your last here. He said at the end there could be a couple of changes for tomor

Pedestrian dummy half play as a root cause to our problems

If you look at all of the top teams right now, one of the consistent elements they have is creativity around dummy half. I was really struck during Origin, at the difference that Grant made, and I thought Cook was the one taking us forward - because

ULTIMATUM

Just a Thought so dont tear me a new one lol.

Why couldnt we put to Brad Arthur that a Grand Final Appearance is mandatory this year.  If we are unable to attain this we go in on a young new coach to come in as an assistant, say Ciraldo who is then gu

BA "Everyone has their own priorities they need to look after"

Perfect attitude coming off a week we played as 17 individuals. Well said Brad.

Blog #1000 on his shitty leadership but you can sum up things with that one sentence. 

Will Souths be smarting?

Coming off an embarrassing first 80mins, Souths somewhat won the second half 12-0. But will Souths be smarting when we play them in round 16? It will be 6 days after Origin II, Cook and Murray will be returning from Perth as would RCG, Paulo and Matt

Food for thought?

this happened to last years grand finalist in the space of three weeks

Ray Hadley calls on Eels shake-up to help break 36-year drought

Ray Hadley is questioning Parramatta Eels coach Brad Arthur’s ability to break the team’s near 36-year drought.

The Mornings host has detailed the Eels’ woeful track record under Arthur, with a winning record of 52 per cent.

It follows their loss to th

• If we ever change our coach, I would go after these 2. I think Cameron ciraldo will be a dud as head coach

What was B.A. prior to Coaching??

Does anyone know what Brad Arthur did for a living before he was a Rugby League coach. I tried Wikipedia but it only informs of his coaching credentials nothing prior to Coaching. Knowing what he did prior to this might explain his coaching style. I

Comments that irk me

So on social media, it is a haven for abuse. If you are someone with thin skin do not go near social media. Anyway, Parramatta after a bad performance is a haven of negative comments, that is something i am fine with, you do get the odd "the coach do

Parramatta Eels set to lose Tom Opacic to English Super League

Parramatta's week from hell has taken another turn for the worse with consistent centre Tom Opacic set to quit the club to play in Super League.

Several British clubs are chasing the 27-year-old centre, with Hull KR leading the way.

Opacic isn't a game

The question that needs answering

Can this squad go any further?

That's the question that club management has to know the answer to if the Parramatta Eels are to break their nearly four decade premiership drought.

After an embarrassing capitulation to the deadlast Bulldogs, the Eels

The importance of leadership

You lead by example, that is something lacking from both Gutho and Paulo. Needed someone to grab the team by the scruff of the neck and demand excellence. Gutho is the voice of this team, where it was said Paulo is not much of a talker, though more o

‘Embarrassed’ Gutherson’s brutal admission as Eels skipper reveals Arthur’s reaction to Dog disaster

Parramatta Eels captain Clint Gutherson didn’t hold back the morning after his side’s most embarrassing loss this season.

Losing to the Tigers by a last ditch drop goal hurts, however to go down by 30 points against one of the competition’s most disap

Those rare times when you are secretly wanting a loss.

This is one of those rounds for me. As much as I loath the pig dog roosters I just can't justify BA"s tram selections. That effort in the semi final loss to the panthers was up there and I give him praise for that. However he always rests on his laur

For those asking what’s the Alternative..

It's not up to us to have one .. 

The club should be getting in a number of candidates and asking them what they bring , how they plan on getting us to the next level , what style of game they want to play .. how they plan on making "Parramatta" playe

Is it time to throw the kitchen sink at Munster

I can not stand the guy but he is a proven winner.

He is a competitor and rarely has a bad game and if he does it is a 7/10 bad game not 2 or 3/10 like our halves can have
