He was just on 9 news saying he loves it at the eels, loves Brad, and the coaching staff and players. He said " Parra gave me a chance, and I definately want to stay here"

Farewell to a gentleman

A lot of people don’t get 1Eyed Eel. They see the argy bargy, the cynicism, the venting after each shitty performance, and they can too-quickly jump to conclusions about what the site is all about. Those that don’t get it, never get to learn that it’

RD 14 bench dilemma

SS = Sad Sunday

The eels seriously need Fergs back, as todays game was sad - Sad to see a young rookie in his 2nd NRL game, Score a try, on the right side of the field, and make some fair reads.  Sader still was to see a rat jack centre show he can run and defend.
