Parramatta Eels Juniors

How good are the Penrith pathways going! Looks like the James Packer cash might've finally run out.

Year	Harold Matts ladder position	SG Ball ladder position
2025	16th (so far)	12th (so far)
2024	9th	7th
2023	1st	2nd
2022	3rd	4th
2021	3rd	10th
2020	4th	5th
2019	5th	8th
2018	1st	2nd
2017	11th	3rd
2016	7th	2nd

So what your saying is the league's club is about to go belly up? As all packer did was bail them out when the debt was being called in.

I'm saying having strong pathways is an expensive venture. Will we be able to maintain the fulltime pathways staff forever? I remember a few years ago, after Covid scuttled our pathways funding, Grima mentioned on TCT that it was the first year he could remember where one of the teams (Matts/Ball, I can't remember) was entirely composed of local juniors.
