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

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.

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

Is it Matterson, Lane, Mahoney or Someone Else.

A snippet in today's Buzz feed in the Sunday Telegraph alludes to the fact that a Parramatta NRL star that quote " has his nose out of joint" over his salary compared to the disclosed top 100 NRL salaries and those of his team mates on the list.

Eels vs Bulldogs 3, 2, 1

Really disappointing performance. Thought we'd make a statement today and give it to the Dogs, but we only did what we had to just scrap through. We haven't played like a top 4 side for a while now. It's become very concerning.

Squad planning 2021 onwards

So with an interesting discussion occurring about our roster moving forward, I thought it best to break it into a separate blog.

Brett Kenny will always be my favorite Eel but there is always something special about the Zip Zip Man.... Compared to the Beatles Kenny was Lennon and Ella was Harrison...... This may sound silly but just wanted to remember him today.
