Who is the defensive coach? He should be sacked!!!!

Our defensive coach needs to be sacked ASAP. This is an exact repeat of last season, the fact they haven't learnt from their mistakes is concerning.

Sterlo rips into Eels coaching knowledge

This from today's Sunday Footy Show. 
Sterlo is always subtle with his criticisms and never singles anyone out. But this is as direct a spray as you'll see from him. Time to go BA. Sterlo ha

Before bagging the coach answer the questions.

Look at the Parramatta team and name a single player that would make the Melbourne team in their current position? 

Show me the year where Wayne Bennet won the comp without a team of superstars. At Newcastle he was a complete failure because he had an

Reed Mahoney named for Queensland

Parramatta Eels hooker Reed Mahoney has been named in the number nine jersey for Queensland. It is the first time the Eels have had a hooker named in State of Origin since PJ Marsh.

What happened to Michael Jennings?

Photo from todays news re his alleged rape of ex wife.

Retiring from playing has not been kind to him.

NSW cup stats round 12

Parramatta defeated South Sydney in NSW Cup 22-12, here are some stats from the game that may add into some consideration for next week

Will Penisini - 1 try, 194 metres, 7 tackle breaks, 21 tackles, 0 misses, 1 linebreak

Wiremu Greig - 131 metres off

Dylan Brown brings balance to the force.

He's been sorely missed. We sweated it out vs the Warriors and were belted by Manly and Souths alike. Competely exposed as a defensive unit making us look like a bottom 4 side the last 2 weeks. Blasted away and never had a hope once the opposition sn

NSW Origin Team.

We may think it's the end but is it really

A lot of people on here are talking like it's the end of our season and it's over, but they seem to forget that the side that is now struggling matched and beat Melbourne. I'd rather go through a form slump now then at the end of the year when it mat

Jake Arthur 3 game Review

I'm not going to rip into the kid I'll try be objective I have no doubt this blog will turn ugly.

I was all for him getting a shot I think 3 games in 1st grade will see benefits down the track.

We have to focus on the defence he made his 1 on 1 tackles

So next week is going to be as big a test as we have seem in a long time.

The list of unavailable is growing

Sin bin is way to grey

Anyone watching the knights vs manly game. A careless clothes line didn't get sin binned. Frizell did the exact same tackle as Matto and was only put on report. I support the crackdown but the soft nature and inconsistencies in the sin bin is diaboli

N Brown cleared for origin selection

Nathan had no case to answer, so is free for Origin 1. No mention at all about Reed, so he must be ok too

Have we made improvements on last season?

I think the Eels have been blessed with somewhat favorable draws for the frist half of last season and now this season.

I am now very worried that these last two loses will start a downward spiral as we play a lot of top 8 sides for the remainder of t

The Eel's End Of (The) Season Draw

Round 20, Vs Roosters

Round 21, Vs Souths

Round 22, Vs Manly

Round 23, Vs Cowboys

Round 24, Vs Storm

Round 25, Vs Penrith

It could get messy.

Who are option next year on the wing/center?

So obviously Sivo and Opacic are a lock together. Penesini is the future but not yet ready whilst Fergo wont be resigned and Blake needs a lot of work even if he wants to be a winger. So who are our options next year for wing/center?

• Manly have Harper

A MESSAGE FROM THE FONG

To whoever arranged to have the site's banner displayed with Sir Col's name I say God bless you , it's the classiest thing I've ever seen on the  site and the person who did it should be applauded. . 

The Truth = Blake's criticism is incorrect and harsh

To the uneducated NRL viewers it is easy to put the blame on Blake. But after rewatching the highlights, Arthur defence was so bad, that it has honeslty resulted in Waqa Blake defensive reads looking horrible. Blake couldn't do much more and really j

Fergo has to go

In defence he is a no show. He just keeps falling over, sus with the high ball. As the new TV Show is named, He is our Weakest Link

Penrith already written up

We are dreaming!

Penrith v Melbourne GF 

Penrith wins it. Sure bet unfortunately. We just don't have the back line atm. Ours forward pack is probably the best In the comp in my view. Our back line is one of the worst. 

Penrith are by far the best side
