They’re’s

[The EELiminator]

I smell an ambush

How is it an ambush if Penrith are expected to win?

How is it an ambush if Penrith are expected to win?

We will lead 24-0 this time, before the ambush, that's how

 

[TheParraboy]

11am tomorrow

 

[Dibs]

11am tomorrow

Shouldn’t it be 11am today? It is Wednesday after all

So the big question is will our first ever game at “our” new stadium be as the away team??

surely not .... if greenburg did that he would deadset deserve a million punches in the head

 

[T.S Quint]

Wonder if there will be reciprocal rights for those games like there was at ANZ. I’m guessing that with the reduced capacity there would be more demand for tickets so probably not.

He deserves a million punches in the head anyway.
I guess we could make it a million and one.

Definitely not. Capacity doesn’t lend itself to that occurring

I think there's a chance tbh. We set a club record for most season ticket holders attending a game a few years back, I'm gonna say against the cowboys where they came back from like 24-0 down, and that was under 10k people. Tigers have less overall members but unsure what percentage are ticketed members.

According to an article in the courier mail.

We play Melbourne at suncorp in the magic round or whatever is they are calling next year where all 8 games are at suncorp.

So no trip to Melbourne next year

Is it our home game or theirs? .... we always seem to sacrifice a f**kin home game for some shit reason

 

[TheParraboy]

so prior to rd6, we have 2 home games at ANZ

Rd 3 v roosters
Rd 4 V Sharks

 

[TheParraboy]

Rd 15 Sat 29th in Darwin v Raiders

 

[Chipmunk]

We have zero excuses not to make the Top 8 next season.

We play the Top 4 teams from 2018 in only five matches and of those only the Sharks at their Home Ground.

We play the Warriors only in Australia.

We play the cold climate Raiders in Darwin at the end of June

Only 6 others games outside of Sydney.

Two 5 day turnarounds only as well

 

[TheParraboy]

Broncos at Suncorp
NQ at NQ

Will be like playing a top 4 side

 

[Chipmunk]

Broncos at Suncorp
NQ at NQ

Will be like playing a top 4 side

Plenty of teams had little problem beating NQ in Townsville this season.

Parramatta Eels

Teams they play twice: Panthers, Bulldogs, Sharks, Raiders, Wests Tigers, Knights, Dragons, Broncos, Sea Eagles.

Teams they play once: Roosters, Storm, Cowboys, Rabbitohs, Warriors, Titans.

Day-by-day breakdown: Thursday - two, Friday - Five, Saturday - Eight, Sunday - Eight, Monday – One.

Five-day turnarounds: 2 (Rd 3, Rd 11).

Kick-off: When you're the wooden spooners, every game is a tough game but for Parramatta, the early schedule is favourable in that they don't leave Sydney's west in the first four rounds - away to Penrith first up before three straight ANZ Stadium fixtures against the Dogs, Roosters and Sharks.

Toughest stretch: Rounds 9-14. The toughest patch for the Eels comes from round nine. Their Magic Round game at Suncorp is against perennial tormentors Melbourne, before they face the Cowboys in Townsville where the Blue & Gold have just two wins since 2000. They return off a five-day turnaround for a local derby at home against a Penrith side that punished them twice in 2018 followed by the impressive Bunnies, also at home. They head from there to Cronulla to face a Sharks side that has beaten them five times on the bounce before hosting the dangerous Broncos.

• The Eels' key five games

And another thing: After having their 2018 season effectively derailed in the opening fortnight on the back of one comeback (round one at Penrith) and one flogging (round two at Brookvale), both in sweltering heat, hopefully the Eels spend this summer on the sand dunes because they have two more Sunday day games to kick off 2019.
