    Parramatta Eels' salary cap doesn't fit, shelling out more than $750,000 for departed

    I think the story probably has some legs but is also fabricated to sell. In saying this I think we are in a reasonable position to get back on track with Salary Cap restraint. There is only 2 real ways to get out of this pressure. 1. Recruit well. (which I think we did this year with Peats...

    Breaking: Macquarie Bank wiz to join Eels Board

    Bet he doesn't live in Guildford anymore!!!

    RD8 V Cowboys 1300 Smiles Stadium

    Completely agree! To overturn the decision was a shoker, similar to Hoppa's try against the Tigers the week before when Brooks took the dive. The inconsistancies are significant in 2014 and I rarely bash refs but I can honestly say the officiating this year (for all teams) is as bad as I have...

    Peter Nolan Poll

    I would vote Yes but like any position it comes down to replacement and who is available. I think a better question would be would you prefer Peter Nolan or Noel Cleal?

    The Rugby League Dive

    It's been happening now for a few years but this year it has gone to a new level. We need a rule change to stop this mockery. I thought the concussion rule might assist but I think they need to go further. At the end of the day if your not fit enough to get to your feet to play the ball...

    parra vs manly rnd 3

    It was either very poor officiating or controvercial. For those with good memories you will recall hiney's 300th NRL game at Penrith Park where Jared Maxwell stopped the clock for a change over which gave Penrith the opportunity to level up the game and go on and win in Golden Point! He...

    Tactical Wish List 2014?

    Completely agree thus wanting him to play 5/8. IMO the attacking kicking game this year is even more important with 20m restarts starting with a zero tackle!! For those that like a punt I think you will find a few more points on offer this year with this rule change. Get on the overs for...

    Tactical Wish List 2014?

    You don't need it Spider but it certainly helps. As does recruiting quality footballers. Still cannot believe the NRL knocked back us signing Falou last year. The what ifs!!

    Tactical Wish List 2014?

    The way I see it you want your stars touching the ball as much as possible asking the defence more questions. We all know the importance of the spine and playing Hayne at 6 allows Hoppa to play 1. If we can get Chris, Jarryd and Will playing at their best and letting their natural games to come...

    Tactical Wish List 2014?

    Hi All, Time to stop the jibber and start talking Rugby League again!! OK - I going to grant you all 1 tactical wish for the season. (AND ONLY 1!!) Mine: Hayne to play 5/8

    Eels Appoint Brad Arthur as Head Coach (Part Deux)

    Our forwards get a fair bit of unfair critism IMO. Lets recall the game plan under the SK time. 1 out hit ups from Dummy half, get to your kick and play boring no mistake football and then Ricky placed all his energies into development and continued to play down our rosters ability. This clearly...

    Geoff Gerard joins Eels board as peacemaker

    MITS - That sounds familiar. I find it an intriguing appointment. At least he is saying the right things and appears to have the clubs best interests at heart. It frustrates me that boards are predominantly measured by team performance by the masses and our one will IMO always have...

    2014 Membership

    Looks and sounds like a complete balls up with the memberships. I have my 6 passes for my family membership. I thought it was a mistake until reading this thread. Oh well!!

    wingers

    I think Loko has to go to the back row. Too many alternative options in our backs now and we need someone in the back row that can break the line. I'd also have Morgan in front of Tonga at this stage, but id also have Hoppa at fullback and Hayne in the centres after his World Cup campaign.

    NRL beefs up second tier with $10.8m injection

    Seems like a lot of money but agree with the fundamentals of it's purpose. Just think the paying customer wasn't considered. Would love to see a genuine reserve grade competition play week in week out prior to 1st grade.

    2014 Playing Roster

    If Chris comes out and kills it this year I hope all you muppets that want to bag him now stay true!!! Think about what it means to be a Parramatta Supporter!!

    Bye bye Spagnolo...

    Found it interesting that this made Herald back page but nothing in the Tele-Crap. I guess we all know who is feeding whom don't we...... I'd suggest 2 years is as good as a life ban, given there will be a change in the Junior's board during this time. Roy was attempting to get back on...

    Parra Eels 2013 - Season Prediction

    You make wins sound easy!! we also finished a lot closer than we should have in a lot of games last year as well. I wish with all my heart we were a better football team than we are. Reality, logic and history tell me we are off the mark.

    Parra Eels 2013 - Season Prediction

    We were the worst team in the comp last year (by a fair way) and with little to no recruitment and the loss of a player making 40+ tackles per game we are in for another long season. I hope to be proven wrong.
