Although the Eels are still winless this season after facing a series of setbacks, the girls are continuing to impress with their determination and unwavering commitment to improvement each week. This was typified in their narrow loss to the third-…
The Preview – Round 26, 2023: Eels vs Panthers
Playing for pride. I hate that term. Not just because it means your team is not playing for any meaningful result in the premiership standings, but because if a team in that situation played with a bit more pride earlier…
The Preview – Round 25, 2023: Eels vs Roosters
Whilst there is still technical, mathematical hope for the Parramatta Eels in 2023, this side has proven over the last month that it deserves no such faith. Pathetic barely begins to describe the efforts against the Storm and Broncos, and…
The Preview – Round 24, 2023: Eels vs Broncos
You may not have heard, but the Parramatta Eels’ season is on the line this weekend against the Brisbane Broncos. The Eels take their third short turnaround of the year (and their second involving both interstate travel and a game…
The Preview – Round 23, 2023: Eels vs Dragons
The Eels’ 2023 season may be on life support, but at least we get a nice Sunday afternoon outing at CommBank Stadium to ease the pain of underperformance, misfortune and mismanagement for a couple of hours this weekend. That is,…

The Preview – Round 22, 2023: Eels vs Storm
It’s been a fairly flat month for Parramatta fans. Suspensions, injuries and not a lot to like on the field, the creeping doom of being the odd team out in the finals race isn’t helping either. Yet nothing shakes off…
The Preview – Round 21, 2023: Eels vs Cowboys
Despite fond memories of the Parramatta Eels’ last trip to Townsville, you can’t help but feel concerned about this road trip for a match with huge finals implications. It isn’t just the Cowboys’ impressive home record this year (7 wins,…
The Preview – Round 19, 2023: Eels vs Warriors
Congratulations to Clint Gutherson, RCG and Mitchell Moses on their selection in the New South Wales side, which I have unaffectionately nicknamed “Freddy’s dead cat bounce”. A decade of playing a Queensland side stacked with future immortals, followed by a…
The Preview – Round 17, 2023: Eels vs Dolphins
If you looked up “danger game” in the rugby league dictionary, you’d find the round 17, 2023 schedule with the Eels vs Dolphins highlighted, circled and surrounded by giant red arrows pointing straight at it. Parramatta with two of their…
