The Eels 2023 Anzac Round Jersey has been designed to honour Colonel Jack Argent OBE OAM ED who was the revered leader and founder of the Parramatta Eels and served in World War 2 as part of the 2/3rd Anti-Tank Regiment Royal Australian Artillery 9th Division 2nd AIF.

The Regiment, formed in 1940 at Warwick Farm served with distinction through the Siege of Tobruk, El Alamein both the 1st and 2nd Battles, New Guinea Campaign and Borneo Campaign.

The jersey embodies the spirit of the ANZACs and acknowledges their service to our nation. The 2/3rd Anti-Tank Regiment Royal Australian Artillery retains a linage to the 23 Field Battery 9th Regiment Royal Australian Artillery 2nd Division that still serves today.
There are several homages to the Regiment and ANZAC spirit throughout the design including:

  • The four horizontal stripes of the Parramatta Eels jersey are connected representing the Regiment uniform belt.
  • Sergeant Chevrons which adorned the Regiment uniform sleeve replicated on the shoulders of the jersey.
  • The official 2/3rd Anti-Tank Regiment insignia adorns the jersey sleeve.
  • Squadron name imprinted on the lower back of the jersey.
  • ‘We will remember them’ adorns the jersey in scroll inspired by typography and design from medals and plaques.
  • The traditional Parramatta Eels gold is replaced by metallic gold to honour the distinction in which the regiment served.
  • Pattern on jersey sides reflects the rising of the sun and in particular Darwin where the Eels are honoured to play their official Anzac Round match in front of a crowd with such a rich and deep Anzac history.

Mitchell Moses has paid tribute to his former club, the Wests Tigers, after confirming on Monday night that he's agreed on a lucrative contract extension at Parramatta. Moses helped the Eels hang on for a gritty win on Easter Monday, with the Tigers consigned to their worst start to an NRL season in the club's 24-year history, following a sixth straight defeat.
Moses turned down a big-money offer to return to the Tigers after agreeing on a new five-year deal with the Eels, reportedly worth about $6 million. Moses made his first grade debut for the Tigers, before leaving the club to join last season's beaten grand finalists, Parramatta, where he has become one of the game's premier halves.

Like Roosters and NSW captain James Tedesco, the Eels superstar went on to bigger and better things after getting his NRL start at the Tigers. Speaking after Monday's 28-22 win, Moses was quick to praise his former club for the role it played in the formative years of his NRL career.

"They gave me my debut. They kickstarted my career," Moses said. "I owe a lot to the club, they were very good to me. It's a bit weird playing them but I'm just happy we got a win."
On their quest to end a finals drought that has stretched more than a decade, the Tigers identified Moses as one of a number of halves targets over the past six months. The club made a multi-million dollar play to lure Moses back from 2024, with current Tigers halfback and good mate Luke Brooks ultimately failing in his pitch to lure Moses back to the club.
"I've spoken to him a couple times and told him what the vibe was like and how much it has changed - I've been selling the place to him," Brooks said in February. "I'm not too sure what his thoughts are, but I think he'd be a great addition to our side and I'd love to play with him again.
"I think when we came in (to the NRL) we were very young. We sort of spoke before about how we would like to have a chance to play together again."

Mitchell Moses helps Eels score second win of the season​

Moses ultimately opted against a reunion at the Tigers before justifying his $6 million price tag on Monday by putting on a clinic against the Tigers. The Parramatta halfback finished with four try assists, 106 running metres, one line-break, one line-break assist and a staggering 526 kick metres to justify his new contract extension.
The Tigers enjoyed the weight of possession and territory and threatened to snatch victory from the Eels with three second-half tries to reduce a 16-point deficit to two late in the contest. An inexplicable knock-on from Charlie Staines off the restart allowed Maika Sivo to cross for a match-sealing try in the dying minutes for the Eels.

Moses admitted the Eels were somewhat fortunate to escape with the two points against a much improved, albeit still winless, Tigers. "It was a bit upsetting," he said.
"We were pretty much fully in control, 22-6 up and then had some silly errors and we just went away from playing footy. We need to fix that up."
Moses insisted there was no cause for concern for the Eels, who suffered tight losses to 2022 heavyweights Cronulla, Melbourne and the Sydney Roosters earlier this season. "We've lost games before and played better (than against the Tigers)," he added.
"For the first five rounds, we've versed some really good footy sides and we've been in the games for the majority of the game. We've been working our backsides off for each other. It's good that we won (on Monday) and we can learn from the lessons like that, rather than losing and learning from those lessons."

Righto merkins, my google skills have failed me.

So I now leave you to solve this mystery.

Aiden Princena-White is 18. He is a pole vaulter and ….he was on Ninja Warrior in 2022

“I have always been a sporty child growing up as I was constantly involved with school and with my mates. Seeing that my dad (a former NRL player for the Parramatta Eels) was such a great athlete has inspired me over the years to achieve highly in the sports I compete in,” he said.

Over to you …
