Joel Thompson split tongue injury.

Looks like he's had a few rounds with Carls at 3am sunday morning on the Patricks at Penno disco floor ;)

Stadium surfaces simply aren’t good enough

I'm no green keeper but I can't remember seeing so many dodgy stadium surfaces before this year. 
Bankwest Stadium is an ice rink. Watching players slip regularly is not good enough for a professional competition. Lots of divots and skid marks. Yet th

Should Joey be offered assistant coach position?

With view to taking over the reins at an appropriate point?

i am happy BA has been given a long stint; however, it may be time for a change in a few years and I am guessing much of our improvement this year - halves and game management- has been due t

I disagree with Phil Gould’s latest old man rant

Firstly I think Phil Gould's new nickname should be Karen.

I disagree with Phil on two out of the three latest referee decisions.

1 - I agree Norman's one was not a strip. Ridiculous decision.

2 - Even with my blue and gold goggles on I think Mahoney pl

3-2-1 vs Dragons

3 Gutho- few more players like this guy and you stay undefeated 

2 N Brown- ^^^^^ read above

1 Mahoney- tough little bugger but he can't do it all on his own.

SIvo beaten by Kyle Feldt

After Maika Sivo put in what many pundits were claiming was to the worst performance by an NRL winger this weekend his claim to fame has been short lived thanks to Kyle Feldt's effots just one day later whist playing Souths. 

Congratulations Kyle Feld

Is 30000 members achieveable

Do uou think we can get to 30k members by end of year ?

Paul MARY McGregor walks away. Will this affect us ?

Mary base fallen on his sword or been sacked as off 11 am Thursday. How does this effect us.

I find it  really weird not to wait till after the Friday night game. Thoughts.

"Fast Start"

"Get our start right, kick long to the corners and tackle and chase hard"

BA has an absolute obsession with starting fast. He says it every week, if we lose he and the players say we didnt get our start right. Ironically, we haven't been getting many

Positives??

1. No injuries.

2. No suspensions.

3. our middles and gutho still playing well.

4. We are at home again next week.

All the way with BA, hey?

Dragons performance

The saddest part is that we are at full strength and still lost to the dragon who have injuries. I think Sivo has always been a bit overrated. 95% of his tries are served up on a platter for him to walk over. It's michael Jennings or gutho who does a

Most teams build to a win. We've been building to a loss.

We've been lucky the last few games. Tonight was a harsh reality. We're complacent as fuck. 

Eels vs Dragons Preview

The Parramatta Eels come into this round 14 clash sitting in outright third position having won 11 games and lost two. They have won their last three in a row with triumphs over the Tigers, Bulldogs and Sharks. Meanwhile the Dragons sit in 12th with

Play the Ball Speed - We are being robbed

I like how the NRL site now shows the average play the ball speed for each team.

I think it gives a good indication as to how games are reffed and how some teams get given a lot more leeway in the wrestle and are allowed to reset their defensive line.

Addo-Carr

It looks like Addo-Carr is coming back to Sydney. 
Would it not make sense to talk to his manager to offer him a 3 year contract at the Eels and at the same time talk to Ferguson's manager and organise a 3 yr contract with the Dogs or Tigers from 2021

I saw your lights on and just thought I'd drop in.

Hi guys, been reading the forum for a while and just thought I should drop in and say hello. Yep, I'm another old bloke, I have been around long enough to witness all the Eels Premierships and old enough to have played at both the old Cumberland Oval

No Smith, No Munster, no worries.

Roosters have no answers tonight, Storm relentless despite thier two best missing. How will the Eels go next week? Anybody starting to get nervous? Will be our biggest test this year, full strength against depleted Storm.If we win they will say Storm

HOE, where art thou?

Shout out to HOE. Haven't seen you on here for a little while. I'm not sure if you've been around and I've just mised you, or you have gone MIA. You weekly match previews are a highlight for many on here.

I hope you are ok. Give us a yell if you see t

What ever happened to Ethan Parry?

So what ever happened to Ethan Parry? I remember that he was released by the Eels a couple of months ago and everybody assumed that he was going to be signed by another club. This hasn't happened and I see that he is now running around with the Wentw
