Off contract end of 2027

Game Day Blog R27 v Dragons: Surely we can beat these blokes?

It's been a bloody long season for both clubs. 

Both clubs have shown glimpses of potential during the year.

But the time is nigh when we stop talking about potential and start talking about bloody results.

Welcome to the final round. The countdown

Poppas Corner; views of an optimist and a Unicorn

I'm a true Parrantta supporter, I quite like Ryles as a coach and totally disagree with BEM and his views that everything is laid out on poor coaching..

I do not believe he was fourth choice, ruling out the wish list candidates. I further believe he

Such a dumb football team

Playing team coming last, with them also having one man down and still concede a field goal with no pressure on the kicker. 

Thank god that season is over. Such a dumb football team, too many errors and penalties given away, story of our season.

Should Samrani hold centre for 2027

Probably the only real bright spot from that game was Samrani and his trying scoring ability. If the eels aren't able to sign at least a decent back for next year should Samrani hold the spot or try Bailey at centre ? Unsure 

Munster Rejects Storm offer.

Storm offered Munster a 750k extension which has been rejected. We definitely won't chase Munster cause he's getting past it but geeze the Storm have fallen off a cliff as a club recently  

Nanai to test open market,

Probably not a guy I'd look at signing because we have some backrowers but I do remember he was on that list of targets lol 

Must Sign

Just watch the first 40min Bunnies v Chooks and I don't care what anyone says... we have to sign Spencer

Every opportunity he bangs up straight into Bunnies pack, challenges em and goes hard again

Yep cost Chooks a penalty for stupid shit but Faark do

Jaylan De Groot?

I think Jaylan De Groot could be an interesting option. At just 23 years old, standing at 189cm and weighing 93kg, he offers size and versatility. He can play anywhere across the backline, including fullback, wing and centre, which could make him a r

Volkman re-signs

According to Danny weidler 2 year 500k per year deal. But he also says in the very next sentence that those terms could be false just what he's heard.

Edit: The club has now confirmed

Parramatta Eels extend juniors Steven Nunn and Liam Martin

Parramatta have re-signed SG Ball and Jersey Flegg middle forward Steven Nunn and Harold Matts and Aus Schoolboys Fullback Liam Martin. Nunn, who is currently starting for Jersey Flegg as an 18 year old, originally extended until the end of 2028 at t

Round 27 Team List v St George-Illawarra Dragons

Last game for season 2026. Here's hoping to end the season with a win in Wollongong on Sunday. Get more more quality on the roster across the off season & continue to build heading into 2027. Go Parra

Thoughts ?

Joash most likely headed to cowboys

All over socials and now reported by the mole.Joash headed to cowboys and will prob still be a backup fullback.

Sean Russell

Going to miss this kid, copped a lot of flack in his time at Parra but started to win everyone over the last few years. One of the few outside backs we have actually developed lol. Sucks he's off to the bears but best of luck young fella. 

Adam Pompey?

Since we're throwing up suggestions.Warriors wanna let Pompey go and his what we need big,strong and powerful and can play wing and centre?

Can someone explain what happened to Joash?

Hi All,I just wanted to hop on here to seek some clarification on the whole Joash Papaii situation. I bumped into him a couple of hours ago at a local cafe, and it looked to me as though he was in a meeting with a player agent/representative. Upon le

Poppas Corner; Luai and the Volkman discussion

I think the concept of teaching and mentoring IS SOMEWHAT overated/stated in this case.

Volkman is being made out to be a real benefactor, he hasn't come back after looking at the market, he has come back because we asked him to.

Yes learning and ment

Where is our game headed.

Apparently those new kick off rules being trialed again this week and eels dragons is one of the games used for it. Also talk of a wild card round similar to American sports for teams 7-10 to fight for top 8 spots. Not sure why PVL continues to mess

Moses on the Matty & Cronk Show

Anyone else see Mitch Moses on the Matty & Cronk Show? Wasn't to bad just combining with Matthew Johns and Cooper Cronk in analysis of the weekends games and different players and talked a bit about Moses game against the Sharks! Thought he presented
