From The Stands – September 19, 2022: Proud To Be Blue And Gold
Four teams are left, and after a wonderful night at our home ground last Friday I have to say that I am so proud that we are one of them. Every one of the remaining four teams plays a slightly…
Post Game Grades – Semi Final vs Raiders
Parramatta Eels 40 Canberra Raiders 4 The Parramatta Eels are alive in the third week of the finals. It’s been a journey (as we’ve been constantly reminded of during the last week), but a grand final appearance is only…
The NRLW Preview – Round 5, 2022: Eels vs Broncos

Bumpers Up – September 6, 2022: NRL Drops The Ball
At a time when all of the focus should be on the tremendous finals footy which lies ahead, the NRL has made one of the most bizarre decisions in recent memory. The deferred suspension of Taylan May has all but…
From The Stands – September 4, 2022: Sivo, Moses And The Attacking Options
What a magnificent night at our wonderful home, CommBank Stadium. How was your journey through Thursday and Friday? I’m normally excited when going to the footy, but lastThursday I was so nervous; ridiculously nervous. I was nervous all day at…
