How good is winning! I don’t care that the Eels weren’t “pretty” in defeating the Tigers. Any victory was far better than the alternative. From a selfish perspective, it’s much easier creating site content after a successful weekend. As a…
From The Stands – April 12, 2023: Eels vs Dogs = Genuine Football Rivalry
Let’s get past Easter Monday’s match with the Tigers. It was a strange game to take in live, but the Eels got exactly what was needed – two competition points, and no major injuries or suspensions. Call it an ugly…
Post Game Grades – Round 6 vs Tigers
The Cumberland Throw’s patented, award winning post game grades for the Parramatta Eels’ round 6 2023 clash with the Wests Tigers
The Preview – Round 6, 2023: Eels vs Tigers

I thought we were over this garbage, but once again Peter V’landys is “posturing” to move the NRL grand final away from Sydney should suburban grounds not receive government funding for upgrades. Enough is enough! I don’t care whether the…
The Preview – Round 5, 2023: Eels vs Roosters
It’s very funny that the Sydney Roosters are so upset about a young kid they poached and bent over backwards to support abandoning them for rugby union, because the Roosters are very much the rugby union of rugby league. Propped…
From The Stands – March 28, 2023: Congratulations
Victory over the Panthers did not come easy, and that’s exactly what was expected. It even required the Eels to overcome the deflating sight of Junior being sin binned followed by Cleary kicking one of the code’s greatest ever field…
