From The Stands – Unity & Belief, On Field & Off
A thought. Is there a sense that there are too many individuals, in and around the Parramatta club, pulling in different directions? Players, coaches, supporters- all of us need to change, and do so quickly. We need to become a…

Panthers Analysis – Back to Basics
After falling to 0-4 in the opening month of the competition, I don’t think there were many experts or Eels fans who would have anticipated this start to the 2018 campaign. The blue and gold looked to have taken two…
From The Stands – Finding The Will (And The Way)
Questions. I’m probably not alone in having a swag of them swimming around in my head at the moment. After Monday afternoon, a few more were added to the list. Why is Kenny starting instead of coming off the bench?…
