Beirut Blasts

Just saw the worst explosion I have ever seen, 3rd biggest all time and biggest in peace time. Hundreds dead, thousands homeless . I know we have plenty of Parra fans who are of Lebanese decent especially living in Merrylands, Granville, Greystanes a

Lavish treatment afforded to SBW

I know this is going to sound trivial but it really doesn't sit well with me this excessive treatment of SBW over and above what other clubs are allowed. Firstly, when we tried to sign God Botherer Folau a few years ago, and had a deal in place to wh

Gallen and Gus Write us off

Just watched 100% footy on 9. Gallen doesn't really rate Parra. He said Storm without Smith should beat us and we don't really pose any threat . While Gus says we have a week mindset and can't play well against good teams . He refrenced is getting ru

Daily telegraph RCG

Reagan Campbell-Gillard has officially dethroned the ‘King’ – with statistics revealing the powerhouse Parramatta prop is now running for more metres than any other Eels player.

According to the Fox Sports Lab, RCG used Sunday’s narrow win over Cante

Why are we fading in the 2nd half of games? Causes and solutions?

Of late weve been in great positions to put big scores on opposition who are nowhere near our class, but weve been fading in the back end of games.

Whats your opinion of why this is happening after a good start to the season?

Mental?

Fitness?

The use of

Cairns Brothers members back Eels coach Brad Arthur against Cowboys

It will happen on Saturday night in a tiny pocket of rugby league heartland wher

Jai Field at hooker?

What do people think of Field as an interchange option for Reed? Could you imagine the damage he would do with his pace off the mark toward the back part of each half when the forwards are tired. Just a thought.

2 Questions Parra v Storm

Why is Parra v Storm on a Thursday?

Why Parra's home game against the Storm TBA....shouldn't it be at Bankwest automatically?

On another note, fcuk you Paul 'Mr Peptide' Gallen'.

Eels coach Brad Arthur could become longest serving Parramatta coach

Arthur could soon become the first Parramatta coach since the club’s premiership entry

Cam Smith injury

• Smith has suffered a minor shoulder injury which could keep him out for 3-4 weeks.Seeing as we play them in 3 weeks he should be out for that game, and if we can't beat the Storm without Cam Smith then we sure as sh*t ain't going to beat them with hi

Fastest in the NRL

Who do you guys recon is the fastest in the club. I have Jai Field, Dylan Brown and Waqa Blake in that order. I would put Blake ahead of Dylan Brown but I feel like he has lost some of his pace as shown in the Manly game (I know he was tired but othe

Montoya Try Should Have Been Given

NRL head of football Graham Annesley has conceded the Bulldogs were denied a possible try to Marcelo Montoya in the first half of the side's two-point loss to the Eels on Sunday.

Montoya was in a position to finish off a set move on the left edge but

100% Footy tonight

Interesting comments from Phil Gould and Paul Gallen  they seem to be running an agenda against parra that we are weak and pretenders. I must admit that they do have some valid points ..... but I still feel we are a better side this year but do we st

Season to Date

Overall it's been a positive season so far. Only 2 losses, at the end of the day we can't really ask for much more. 

Still, i'm not sure we've solved our inability to attack in greasy conditions and our away form is questionable. We are still a 12-20

Middles the key for Eels

There was a time not too long ago when the Parramatta Eels were soft where it mattered most. They offered no starch, no presence, no aggressiveness through the middle third of the field.

That softness delivered a wooden spoon in 2018.

Then Junior Pau

Are we serious?

Win, lose or draw this side will be out coached when it matters most. Sorry, but IMO the reality. 

Indigenous round. Great article and report - Stan Grant.

Note: for whatever reason this may bring out the ugly in the people. I have no interest in causing a stir. No negativity please. I'm only sharing as I know some here genuinely care and have an interest.

The Dogs played the ball correctly with their feet maybe 10 times all game

Hope the NRL looks at this. They were just standing over the footy and getting a big ruck advantage out of it. 

The Premiership contenders

Past the halfway post of the season i think this season can ony be won by one of theses 5 teams. 

Panthers- The benchmark team young tough and fearless 

Roosters- the squad alone says they should plus they know how to build into finals footy.

Storm- Sep
