When you are the Parramatta Eels, any game against any opponent is potentially a trap game. With that in mind, the Canberra Raiders, on a cold Sunday afternoon in the capital, coming off a three game winning streak and two…
The Preview – Round 11, 2022: Eels vs Sea Eagles
It’s make or break time for the Parramatta Eels who, despite holding the two biggest wins of season 2022, are on the wrong side of the top four divide in an increasingly intense race for a finals football second chance.…
The Preview – Round 10, 2022: Eels vs Roosters
It’s been a pretty good week to be an Eels fan. Finally getting over Penrith after a few close shaves, to complete the “contender double” on their own turf. Breaking another record streak, just for the fun of it. Triggering…
The Preview – Round 9, 2022: Eels vs Panthers
It’s revenge time! Nothing would help you forget a low week for the Parramatta club and its supporters like knocking off the defending premiers. Especially when said defending premiers were lucky to survive their clash with the Eels in the…
The Preview – Round 8, 2022: Eels vs Cowboys
It is time for the eighth edition of the Territory Eels clash, an annual tradition where Parramatta takes a home game to Darwin in an effort to promote the game (that conveniently pays rather handsomely). While the lost home game…
The Preview – Round 7, 2022: Eels vs Knights
They say it isn’t that you get knocked down, but how you get up. That’s bad news for the Parramatta Eels, because recent history suggests once they’re on a skid, they stay there for a while. A tough, dominant effort…
The Preview – Round 6, 2022: Eels vs Tigers
Merry Easter Eels fans! Hot cross buns and four days off can only mean one thing: the now traditional Easter Monday clash between the Parramatta Eels and Wests Tigers is near. A (hopefully) sun-soaked CommBank Stadium for afternoon footy is…
The Preview – Round 5, 2022: Eels vs Titans
We’re five weeks into the regular season, so it must be rematch time! The NRL draw remains as balanced as the diet of a 16-year old whose parents are away for the week, but one new wrinkle to season 2022…
The Preview – Round 4, 2022: Eels vs Dragons
Remember to breathe, Eels fans. After three games back-to-back that have taken years off my life, it’d be nice for the Parramatta Eels to just play to the odds and put up a comfortable win as 9.5 point favourites against…
The Preview – Round 3, 2022: Eels vs Storm
It hasn’t been a dream start to season 2022 for Parramatta, but as last year proved: contendership is just one Melbourne Storm upset away. Things aren’t as gloomy as reading Eels social media (or the TCT comments section) would have…
