Could Dylan Brown do much more in attack

My impression is in attack DB either passes or kicks immediately or if nothing is on the he runs into the defence. Would like to see him probe the defence and pass and kick at the line. He does not mind getting smashed and could provide much more in

Congratulations Reed Mahoney

Leading the Dally M votes.

Only round 4 but has really stepped up this season and a big reason we are doing so well.

Meanwhile Ryan Papenhuysen is dissecting the Broncos

I really don't know who's worse, Manly, the Bulldogs or the Broncos ?

My 3 most hated opponents. It's great to be an Eel !!!!

What a great start to the year

Bench.   Lane, prop and second row, Greig, prop,  thats it for the big unit, Kafusi, prop second row, and pick a utility at will

Is it the coach or the players or something else

Barret, Hasler, Walters all considered being good coaches.Some coaches have won premierships in the past and performed very well with certain teams and put into a different scenario have folded..Some have often passionately wanted to secure a coach t

Rd 4 - Review & Player Ratings

Team Review: (7.5/10)

1. Clinton Gutherson (7.5)
   1. Great kick to set up Opacic.
   2. One of his worse games defensively. Dropped a bomb which eventually led to a try. Slipped over which led to Douheli running over the top and scoring.
2. Maika Sivo (7)
   1. Very quiet tod

Don't deserve to win

We do not deserve to win this game

Very pleased to get the win!

The score may have flattered us but what a great start to the season, 4/4! Let's hope the wins continue, our front row was the difference today imo, outstanding work RCG, Junior & Reed. The only changes I would make going forward is relegate Lane fro

R4 v Tigers: Gettin’ the chocolates, or egg on the face?

We all know the drill. The Eels play well, beat contenders, then fail to show up against a team not expected to challenge for honours. In the opening three rounds the Eels have seen off a contenders in the Storm and a top eight aspirant in the Sharks

Eels NSW cup team v West’s 1.25 pm today on Fox and Kayo

As mentioned by Slugg elsewhere please note the NSW cup game today at 1.25 pm between Parramatta eels and West Magpies will be televised live on Fox and Kayo . 

Eels vs Tigers 3, 2, 1

Good win if a bit scratchy. In typical fashion once again we made things hard for ourselves. But in my eyes we're as good as anyone with the power game and hard direct running. If only we could learn finesse with the ball.

3. Moses

2. Gutherson

1. Nuiko

Getting smarter

Gutho held his cards on the second tackle until a better opportunity arose for the short kick on the last and Opacic scored. Smart.

Not settling the boys down when in the lead and getting repeat sets/holding onto the ball. Not so good. Moses did try

Same old shit

nothings changed can't handle pressure

Matto out > Hipgrave in

As title suggests 

Matto out for another week

So effectively same 17 as last week

Who is in your 8?

After 3 rounds who is in your top 8 come September. I actually had eagles in there before the season started and thought cowboys might be there abouts after watching their trial. This is my 8 now, in order:

Penrith
souths
Eels
Storm
Roosters
Titans
Raiders 

Cartwright Chance to Debut

Late Mail: 

According to NRL.Com There is a strong possibility that Bryce Cartwright might make his Eels debut against the West/Tigers. Not sure who he would replace if he debuts and if he would start from the bench or be in the run on side. It will

Tyrone Harding

Apparently we signed this young outside back from the Bulldogs has alot wraps on him.

I'd imagine a lower grade signing but highlights look good
