    Parra Supporters

    I watched the first half again while at the gym today and until Hayne decided he'd point to Payne exactly where the swinging arm connected, things were looking good. When the Eels execute Kearney's plans they look good and play well (ie against Warriors and Cowboys). Discipline is the key...

    Halves last chance...

    The halves will be ok. Kearney is structuring the game around their strengths and it is starting to work. There is still improvement but I like what I am seeing.

    Rumoured/Confirmed Signings 2010/2011

    Throwing more high explosives onto the fire, I play cricket on the Central Coast. Talking to a team mate who is mates with Matt Orford's brother. I asked the team mate did his brother know anything about Orford's preferences for the NRL and was told Orford's pick is Parra. Add as many grains...

    Pick Your Team V Titans...

    Yeah, sorry. Move Cronk to 1, Hayne to 12 and Hindy to 5.

    Eels V. Chooks: Live Game Thread

    Look on the bright side. At least we discovered another player who can beat three or four defenders from 30 metres out and score.

    Shoplifting claim against Osborne

    Jeez, the salary cap must be really biting at Parra.

    Timana Tahu out, Joel Monaghan in for State of Origin II

    To say that Timana is "soft" or needs to "harden up" is simply ridiculous. Sometimes enough is enough and what he did required tremendous strength and conviction. Glad he is an Eel.

    F**k f**k f**k f**k

    As I hack at my wrists again with the plastic butter knife (the wife has hidden all other sharp objects - a oft practised ritual of hers) there is some consolation. Last year the Sharks also broke their losing streak with a win over the Eels. A few games later the Eels started on that...

    Oscar Buhagiar - Tougher than Hindy

    Even Fatty found it hard to on The Footy Show to tell everyone about Oscar. But kudos to the NRL and Tigers for supporting the Eels and Oscar's family. We'll be right Friday night. We'll have 14 on the field.

    Dragons Post Mortem

    Let's face it. Our season is over. I've got the butter knife out (the plastic one) and starting on the wrists. I could be a while. Y'all keep talking and I should have at least chafed skin by the morning.

    Eels V. Chooks Trial at Bluetongue: Game Thread

    I think the Eels game plan was nothing more than throw the ball around a bit and see what happens. Mateo was good and he and Kris Keating seem to have a nice little combination going. Tahu did some good things in the first half. Fui Fui was motoring on half speed. Hindy was Hindy. I'm not...

    Proud as Punch of the Guys

    Just watched the post match press conference. Ando and Cayless had a great dignity about them. Ando especially knocking back a hack's "What if" questions with "That's fantasy football. It didn't happen." The club is in good hands. The foundations have been laid by Anderson and Osbourne for...

    Thanks for the ride Parra....

    Yes, a great season in the end. Think back to when we were looking good for the spoon. The end result is that we gave it to one of the best ever club sides since the salary cap began and just fell short. That is something to be proud of. We have some good players coming to the club in 2010 and...

    Who Cried??? Honestly.

    Just the hollow feeling a felt back in 2001 and 2005. I'm saving the tears for when we win the comp in 2010.

    3-2-1

    3 - Fui Fui. The Props union do want to question him about that try. 2 - Hindmarsh. He did all he could to win the game for the Eels. 1 - Grothe - Like Hindmarsh he did all he could. Superb effort.

    Storm planning to hit Moimoi hard...and often

    Yep, I've had the same thought. Bellamy will be expecting just a straight Moi Moi charge and Ando will have a counter for that with Burt and Hayne sniffing around the rucks for a pass from the props.

    Blue or Gold Jersey this weekend???

    I decided on the gold one earlier in the week. The father in law will wear the blue one. Actually on my wife's side, her grandfather (I think) was involved in the Eels administration in the very early days.

    GF Tix

    Best available. To be honest I would have been happy with any seat. Looks like close to the seats I had for last year's GF. High up but who cares. Just glad I'm going to be there. Now, to make sure my dress Parra jersey is clean for Sunday.

    Just scored two Cat B (bay 624) via the 9:00pm sale. Very lucky I think but extremely happy.
