    Is there any reason we can’t challenge for the title in 2025?

    After making the grand final in 2022 Parramatta has endured a rough couple of seasons to the point where most pundits see us making the bottom half of the 8 at best. We aren’t really seen as a genuine premiership threat. What do the fans here think? I think it’s a bit of a folly to use the last...

    Why do you support the Parramatta Eels?

    So I noticed with interest a while back that we have the largest supporter base of any Sydney club. https://www.roymorgan.com/findings/melbourne-storm-are-the-most-widely-supported-nrl-club-in-2022-while-premiers-penrith-panthers-enjoy-a-jump-in-support I was wondering where the motivation...

    Would you take back Fergo on a reduced contract?

    I know it’s only round 2 but I’m worried about the Eels backline as a team with Premiership aspirations this season. I went off Opacic last season with how little impact he had with the ball in hand. Simonsson’s start isn’t looking too crash hot at the moment either. He seems to have all the...

    Waqa Blake appreciation thread

    Just wanted to give a special shout out to Waqa Blake who I thought really came into his own at the back end of the season. He copped a lot of criticism at the start of the season for his defence and I was genuinely confused as to how he wasn’t going better than he was. I remember when he used...

    Some interesting stats

    After 23 rounds guess which team is ranked first in post contact metres, second in all run metres, 2nd in possession, first in offloads and 2nd in all receipts. That’s right. It’s the Parramatta Eels. I find it incredible that we can be so dominant in all these areas and still be limping into...

    Will we make the top 4?

    While we are currently sitting comfortably in the top 4 at the moment if we take a look at the draw for the rest of the season you will find that we have the hardest remaining draw out of all the teams that are competing for the top 4. If we want to get there then we will certainly have to earn...

    Clint Gutherson named as Co-Captain of Parramatta Eels

    This is a great move. I’ve been calling for Gutherson to be made Captain for a long time. He’s the most inspirational player in the team and a natural leader. I still remember a game against the Warriors last season where we barely had any players left on the bench and the entire team was out on...

    No radio coverage of the Rugby league world cup

    This is supposed to be the showpiece event of Rugby league played at the highest level yet there’s no radio coverage. Great Job Greenberg!

    Best example of a player standing up when the first choice becomes unavailable

    When everyone found out Jonathan Thurston was gone for the season I’m sure most people wrote off the cowboys chances for this year. However as we have all seen Michael Morgan has risen out of Thurstons shadow and announced himself as a genuine superstar of the game in his own right. What are...

    What's wrong with our attack?

    Is anyone else a bit puzzled by the teams inability to score points? It seems to have been that way for the past couple of seasons now and I can't really figure out why. As of round 20 there are only 3 teams that have scored less points than us (i.e the knights, tigers and Bulldogs). I recall...

    Would you want Blake Ferguson?

    The Raiders have sacked David Furner as coach and according to Talking Sport on 2SM Ferguson is now a free agent as he has a get out clause if Furner is not coach. Would you want him at the Eels? Personally I'd be all for it.

    Players to target for next year

    Even Ricky Stuart conceded tonight that our playing roster is simply not good enough. So who do we target for season 2014? I say Sonny Bill Williams: Yes he's off contract. Unlikely to get him but potentially the best player in the game. Go all out! Feleti Mateo: Don't care what anyone says...

    We need to bring home Mateo

    I'm sure many fans on here like myself are becoming increasingly frustrating at missing out on marquee players despite being cashed up for 2014. We all want to see Parramatta do well and it seems apparent that we urgently need to strengthen our playing roster. After everything that's happened...

    SMH: A pair of losses, but Kearney is coach for long haul, say Eels

    Interesting comment by Adam Blair (On topic)

    So I came across this article today and I noticed an interesting comment by Adam Blair regarding one of the reasons he moved to the Tigers. I remember at the time he was off contract the Eels were one of the favourites to get his signature but that never eventuated. The comments are as follows...

    Daily Telegraph: Feleti Mateo launches Eel attack

    link: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/feleti-mateo-launches-eel-attack/story-e6frexnr-1226136154479 Now that the season is done and dusted what do most people think about Mateo being let go compared to the same time last year? I've always maintained that it was a massive screw up and...

    Sonny Bill Williams to the Eels?

    I think it would be great to have a player like SBW at the Eels. He can do things most players can only dream of and is one of the best players in the game. Imagine a team with fully firing Hayne, Fui and SBW. It would be unstoppable. What do other fans think? link...

    Letting go of Mateo. Thoughts?

    Was there anyone else tonight who didn't know whether to laugh or cry after watching Mateo play tonight? He was making line breaks at will and would have laid on a few more tries than he did if he had more support. I know alot of posters here think he's lazy but he has been in great form over...
