Parramatta Eels 53 Brisbane Broncos 6 Holy massacre Bert! You won’t see many more crushingly dominant performances than that; well and truly over at halftime and then relentless in the face of some resolve in the second that resulted…
Post Game Grades – Round 23 vs Bulldogs
Parramatta Eels 42 Canterbury Bulldogs 6 There’s a reason rugby league was played in the afternoon for one hundred years before TV deals drove us to Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and it isn’t just the lack of grandstand…
Post Game Grades – Round 22 vs Rabbitohs
Parramatta Eels 0 Souths 26 I was lucky enough to watch this game from the Legends Lounge, where it was chicken wing night. Four different styles of wings, sensational stuff. Unfortunately it was also “flog off your lounge tickets…
Post Game Grades – Round 21 vs Sea Eagles

Post Game Grades – Round 16 vs Rabbitohs
Parramatta Eels 12 Souths 30 Nobody drowned out there, so that’s something I suppose. The rest of the good relates to my watching this game on replay after going out for dinner, so I could watch the last 20…
Post Game Grades – Round 15 vs Roosters
Parramatta Eels 26 Sydney Roosters 16 How about that? What a brilliant game of footy. The first half delivered end-to-end attacking football as the Parramatta Eels channelled the energy of 2001 and offloaded at will to score some spectacular…
