Alright Eels fans, time to get serious. A brutal run to the finals begins this week, as Parramatta hosts Brisbane in the most crucial matchup of their season so far, at least until next round. Brad Arthur is preparing his…
Post Game Grades – Round 18 vs Warriors
Parramatta Eels 28 Warriors 18 While the Warriors had a fair bit of pluck about them, the Parramatta Eels delivered a nice, comfortable win that was safely locked away before the CommBank Stadium bars closed at the 60th minute.…
The Preview – Round 18, 2022: Eels vs Warriors
The Eels begin a three game homestand this week, with a run to the finals that features six of eight matches at CommBank and all but one clash in the Thursday or Friday time slots. While there are big questions…
Post Game Grades – Round 17 vs Tigers
Parramatta Eels 28 Wests Tigers 20 It was nice to see the Parramatta Eels really dig in and overcome some adversity after a start where nothing went their way. What could and probably should have been a 12-0 lead…

Post Game Grades – Round 15 vs Roosters
Parramatta Eels 26 Sydney Roosters 16 How about that? What a brilliant game of footy. The first half delivered end-to-end attacking football as the Parramatta Eels channelled the energy of 2001 and offloaded at will to score some spectacular…
The Preview – Round 15, 2022: Eels vs Roosters
Understandably, I haven’t really got the preview in me this week. Studying the opposition, analysing what went wrong last week, it all feels a bit of a waste of time when the result is going to come down to one…
Post Game Grades – Round 14 vs Bulldogs
Parramatta Eels Why are you like this? As the only person in my tipping comp silly enough to tip the Raiders over the Broncos, the Parramatta Eels just saved me the indignity of being the only person to not…
