How does that saying go? There’s a first time for everything. I had never once watched the Eels beat the Storm live From The Stands. Never! I have been to Melbourne three times and watched my team score 0 points…
From The Stands – The Attacking Blues
Watching from the stands was not a pleasant experience on Friday night. Like most fans I can accept a poor performance or a loss – if we learn from it. BA said after the game that it was a…
From The Stands – What A Week!
From the Stands is more often than not reflective in its approach. It regularly looks back on the last match. But after reflecting on this past week, there was far more to consider than just another victory. On Sunday, we…

From The Stands (Lounge) – Becoming A Team
We cannot win this premiership without Moses, but we will not win it if we are a one person team. As such, the upcoming rounds will probably be the making of our Parramatta Eels. Questions were asked, answered and finally…
