Premiership win or not, Eels fans owe Brad Arthur a debt of gratitude

On Thursday night, against an understrength Sydney Roosters team, the Parramatta Eels slumped to their third loss in four games.

By the end of the game, I was furious.

Throughout the year (and in preceding years too), Parra have been criticised for

This is the X-factor player, we should be going after.

He was suspended from the Test against the All Blacks in Auckland this saturday for drinking alchol after the "bewitching hour".

I have no idea what his contractual obligations are but he is 29 years old, would have a good 3/4 years in him and is the

The coach Parra should chase - Johns

Respected rugby league voice Matthew Johns believes Parramatta are on the cusp of reaching a crossroads with coach Brad Arthur, and stunningly declared Wayne Bennett the man to help the club overcome their premiership woes.

The Eels are in the midst o

Kent spoke to BA

Kent said on NRL 360 that he apparently spoke to BA, and he said to Kent that they are playing individually in attack going for the big plays instead of as a team and moving together when they are losing. So in round 5 and 11 losing to Manly and Drag

Not sure if this picture works but few runours around Facebook and social media linking Bennett to the eels. Matty johns also mentioned it on his show. I personally would love this.

Overated and Underated Player

Since not much is going on, which players in the NRL do you think are overated and underated?

Absolutely on another planet - 2021 Daily M Medalist

The Eels are just slightly above an average team and nowhere near a premiership contender.

Parramatta has built a squad with great potential, but our overall football education is way below the top premiership contenders. The Eels are only slightly above average  and struggle to beat teams in the top 8 all things being equal , losses to St

Stick a fork in us

Another season and it's that same sinking feeling. That feeling of disappointment that once again another year has slipped by and the premiership drought continues on its slow march towards its 40 year anniversary.

Tonight the Eels went into the clas

2021 Award predictions, who would we pick so far?

So with only 5 rounds left of the regular season with at the moment with or without a top 4 finish, Parramatta have a minimum of 6 or 7 games left in the year. So i know that there is still time to go, though i feel next few rounds wont change much o

Matt Ikuvalu anyone?

I always have been a fan of this bloke. Strong and a great finisher and won't break the bank. A regular starting spot may entice him. Thoughts?

What we need to do

What does eveyone think we need to do or buy to be a premiership threat? I think we need to move gutho to 5/8 where he pretty much plays in attack and we buy a gun fullback. I think athurs time is up after 8 years, I don't think brown is a 5/8 needs

Imagine

Imagine there was a half in our squad that had a 2-4 W/L record when without him we're 11-2

Imagine our F/A with him in the side -38 . Without him it's +227

Imagine your team scored 16 ppg with him in the side and 30ppg without said half

For those who have fox, is it just me, but does this guy annoy you? He does me. 9 times out of 10 he calls tries before they are reviewed, and 9 times out of 10 he is wrong. lol

Current Thoughts on Gutho as Captain

I really like Clint Gutherson as a player and he's improved heaps since he first came to Parra and he's high energy and he brings so much to the Eels side. I'm just wondering if the Eels would be better having a Captain amongst the forwards ( who is
