When Round 1 rolls around next season we'll all be hearing it. How it was the toughest pre-season they've ever had. For the Eels it will definitely be the longest pre-season they've ever had given they trained up until the Grand Final and they will b
As some here may know I am still currently at school. I'm in Year 12 and my HSC starts in 1 week. As a result I will be taking a break from the site until my exams finish. If you have any pressing issues drop them in my inbox as I may get time to che
Stephen Kearney has admitted he was unprepared for his first stint as an NRL head coach at Parramatta. Kearney, who will join Brisbane as assistant coach for the next two seasons, was sacked by the Eels in July after an unhappy two seasons in which h
It has only recently occurred to me that the club may be using a similar series of calculations to the ones used by the Sharks and the Oakland A's, termed as the Money Ball theory. This theory/system was used by the Oakland A's to build a team of pla
After 30 gripping weeks of Rugby League action, the curtain has closed once again on the NRL for season 2012. Whilst the game itself was a tough grind there were many exciting moments and plenty of controversy. It was a classic forward's Grand Final
Yesterday myself and some other Parra fans were invited by the club and Channel Nine to appear in a video mashup for Nathan Hindmarsh. It will be aired at the start of the Grand Final Footy Show which begins at 8.30pm on Thursday night. Tune in to ha

Like some of the people on this site I have read Hindy's Autobiography "Old School". Reading it really gave me a great insight into the man that is Hindmarsh and the way a professional team works. His comments on the Jamie Lyon saga, Brian Smith leav

Just like Parramatta Stadium rose from the ashes of Cumberland Oval, so too will the Parramatta Eels rise from the ashes of this season. The fans have shown how popular the team is, even if they finished last. Whilst the send-off of club legends Nath
As the siren sounded around ANZ Stadium and Hindy's penalty goal sailed over the cross bar the curtain fell on the careers of two true club legends. Whilst the Dragons claimed the 2 points it was a night of celebration for both teams. The two Eels le
On Sunday 2nd of September at approximately 7pm AEST, Luke Burt and Nathan Hindmarsh will run out for the final time in the Blue and Gold. They've come a long way from the teenagers that debuted in 1998 and 1999 respectively. Hindmarsh from Robertson
