    Easter Saturday 30 years ago....

    And the Parramatta Eels took on the Western Suburbs Magpies at Campbelltown Stadium Saturday 25 March 1989. A match we won 30-10 with Eric Grothe sen scoring 2 tries but most memorable for the work of Cameron Blair the Wests captain helping to stop Tony Cossato swallowing his tongue after being...

    Best wishes from an envious Eels supporter

    I have no great desire to see anyone other than Parramatta win the comp BUT I would like to wish all Cronulla supporters all the very best for this Sunday. 50 years is WAY too long for such a proud club to have waited. My memory of GF 2009 tells me we outnumbered the scum by 10 to 1 . The...

    Canberra road trip.......really looking forward to it!!!!!

    However crazy this is, tomorrow I'm going to the game. I'm leaving Newcastle at 5.30am, taking my mum to church in Strathfield at 8 , will say a prayer for Semi to score 4 tries and/or Bevo to score three, drive straight to Canberra for the 2pm kickoff, dinner with my sister and niece in...

    Corey Norman

    Just a quick compliment to Corey Norman. That pass he threw for Semi's second try last week was a gem , another of many that he's thrown to him, the best of which was probably the spiral against Melbourne last year. Having the captaincy sums up his importance and contribution to this side, and...

    Teams try scoring award

    Back in the '70s and '80s there was a try-scoring award sponsored by (dare I say it ) WD & HO Wills which incentivised try-scoring by the first grade team of each club. Basically the 22 round season was broken up into blocks of four weeks and the team that scored the most tries in each block...

    Bellamy v Klein

    Not sure if this is the right site to post this , but is anyone or everyone else annoyed/ concerned / generally pissed off that Bellamy disses a ref albeit in a way that protects him from any sanctions from the NRL , then the same NRL sees fit to drop Klein with little or no explanation? I mean...

    "Who let the Dogs out...." just an early shot across the bow

    2007-2010 - each year we beat the dogs at least twice 2011-2013 -each year we lost at least twice This year - beaten 'em once already , the portents are there to complete the double this Friday I'm concerned at the Dogs poor performances leading into this , particularly last up v Broncos. The...

    David Fifita

    Sorry if this has been brought up on any other threads , I can't be bothered trolling through all of them to see , but reading RLW today , if this guy is half the player his twin is , he's got to be a shot. Especially if he would come relatively cheap. And could it be Parra was the club...

    Anthony Quinn...another Storm grub

    Sorry if this has been brought up before bu I just watched a replay of the great win last Saturday and only just noticed this. The last scrum should never have been packed. When Sio knocked the ball on and cleaned it up , Quinn didn't even have to touch him . Instead the merkin drops his...

    New betting option

    Has anyone noticed the new sportstab bet offer - if the team you backed loses after leading with 10 minutes to play , you get your money back. They should name it the Parramatta bet - it must've been specifically designed for us poor schmucks!

    September 27 1981

    Today should be gazetted a public holiday in the district of Parramatta in recognition of the 30th anniversary of the Eels' breakthrough premiership. A minute's silence should be observed at 4.30pm to mark the moment when the premiership was sealed with Steve Ella's try in the corner. For those...

    Nathan Hindmarsh Game # 302

    Well , we're all very cranky and disappointed and venting etc from the events of the last two weeks, but I would like to look forward positively . Next Monday week we host the Storm which in itself is a good enough reason to attend , but it will also mark the first game Hindy plays at home...

    The ninth second no-try...

    I have no love for either Souths or Cronulla , but I was so disappointed that John Sutton pushed his mate into touch from the kick-off reception. Surely it would've been the fastest try in NRL history.

    State of Origin / Super Rugby double.

    I realise that most here will not even care about the other rugby code , but i hope the Waratahs will beat the Auckland Blues , and the Crusaders beat the Sharks. That would set up an almighty state double , the entree a sell-out Reds/Waratahs semi on the Saturday , followed by the main course ...

    "Et tu , Brute?"

    Just a big congrats to Etu , after all the talk of him sh*tting himself up until the game , when his first big test comes , he SLAYS THE BEAST! What a brute we have on the right wing. Never wanna see a player get hurt , especially a crowd pleaser like Vatuvei , but hell , was glad to see the...

    Are we the George Negus team of 2011?

    In the past three matches . we have built considerable leads on the back of the solid no-nonsense style akin to the Storm and Dragons , but in each match , seemed to have put the cue in the rack. Got to 30 v panthers after about 50 minutes , then cruised . Got to 30 v tigers in about the same...

    Let's fill Parra Stadium for the Roosters

    Congratulations to everyone who has made the effort to get to the last two away games, one a ground record , the other the biggest Sydney crowd of the year. At both games , I'm sure we outnumbered the home supporters. At CUA , when Parra hit the front , definitely louder response than when...

    Hypothetical Knock-on ruling

    Just a poser for the rule trivia buffs, I just watched the Hayne try v Tigers and want to pose a hypothetical. When he chips over the top , he and Moltzen both charge at the ball and Hayne catches it and scores. But I noticed Moltzen tried to knock it forward out of Hayne's reach. So is this an...
