The Preview – Round 27, 2024: Eels vs Tigers
A mercy to us all, by 8PM tonight season 2024 will be in the books, one way or the other. Either the Wests Tigers or Parramatta Eels will take the dreaded wooden spoon, both deserving candidates but only one can…
The Preview – Round 26, 2024: Eels vs Dragons
It’s Member Appreciation Day for Parramatta fans today, and while the most appreciative thing the Eels could do for me in season 2024 is put me out of my misery, I’d settle for a second best of an upset win…
