Put up your hand if you were one of the 50, 668 fans who attended the game between the Wests Tigers and Parramatta Eels yesterday? If you were well done. I was so proud to be part of such a passionate, energetic and electric crowd. It was one of the best atmosphere’s for a game […]

What a turnaround… the Parramatta Eels!

It’s probably Ladies who League’s worst kept secret that I am a Parramatta supporter. Even though I am a Parramatta supporter, I am an NRL appreciator so try to make sure that I write about a variety of issues, not just the ones relating to my club. But it sometimes gets to the point where […]

Channel 9, we’re a bit mad at you!

Tonight, this story might reflect some of the frustration I am feeling following Parramatta’s loss to Manly this afternoon. While I am sure that there will be much talk about the quality of refereeing during that game, I was extremely proud of my team this afternoon. Both teams had missed opportunities, but frankly, following the […]

Round 2 of the 2014 NRL Telstra premiership draw was members round and we certainly had some tremendous football to celebrate.

How do we get bottoms on seats?
