		The Parramatta Eels is an Australian professional rugby league football club based in the Sydney suburb of Parramatta.
		Parramatta saw very little success in their early years, finishing last in the competition 6 years in a row from 1956 to 1961.
		Despite Parramatta claiming the minor premiership in 2005, it was announced soon after the unsuccessful 2005 finals series that coach Brian Smith had been asked to stand down after the conclusion of the 2006 season in what turned out to be a direct trade with the Newcastle Knights for Michael Hagan.

	Rugby League History - RL1908.com - Parramatta Eels
		Parramatta gained the services of Wests players residing inside the new boundaries, and supplemented this with local juniors - though it seems many of these ‘locals' were former Rabbitohs who still spent most of their time living and working in South Sydney.
		Parramatta though were sparked into action as they cleaned up Eastern Suburbs 33-0 in the Final and Manly 21-8 in the Grand Final to take the premiership they had led all season.
		The 18-6 win was Parramatta's third premiership in a row, leaving the Eels and the mighty St George side of 1950s/60s as the only two clubs to record the ‘three-peat' achievement in the ‘Mandatory Grand Final' era.

	The Rugby League Co-op
		Parramatta had made the Grand final in all 3 grades, but it seemed asthough Grand final luck was again deserting them, as Souths won Third Grade 18-5, and Wests won reserves 19-2.
		Parramatta were making Canterbury look lethargic, and Cronin's third attempt at goal, a majestic kick from a difficult angle, took his total Parramatta points tally to 1999.
		Parramatta won the last Seven's tournament, and after a shaky start, settled down to win 12 straight games, equalling the club record, and getting to the semi finals for the frst time since 1986.

	NRL form team Titans win thriller over Eels - Sport - BrisbaneTimes
		It ended a spirited Parramatta fightback, the Eels now with just two wins from their first five games and well short of the sort of form which had them touted as premiership challengers.
		But it was an advantage they needed every point of as the Eels stormed back into the game, the ball turning into a hot potato as it was spread from one side of the field to the other at which point Joel Reddy took advantage of an two-man overlap to score out wide.
		Eels coach Michael Hagan said the video referee's decision at the end of the contest summed up the night for his side.

	Parramatta Eels - If only they would be bottom feeders
		The Eel logo came in the 1970s after the late sports reporter Peter Frilingos pointed out that the aboriginal meaning of the word 'parramatta' is ‘the place where the eels lie down'.
		Parramatta fans are usually of the generic, middle-class variety; predominantly mullet with the occasional bream.
		Considering that Parramatta was established as a penal colony, there is no doubt that the regions pioneer's would be turning in their grave about how generic it has become.

	Parramatta Eels in 2007: February 2007
		Parramatta centre Timana Tahu said the thought of touching the ball "two times a game" was enough to turn him off a switch to rugby union.
		Parramatta's attempts to keep its centre under lock and key have been hampered by the fact that Tahu appears to be in the midst of changing management teams.
		The Eels' bid to negotiate a new deal for Tahu, who has a get-out clause for the final year of his contract next year, is being hampered by the fact the winger is between management companies.

		On the other hand Parramatta have been solid and have looked dangerous when they use the ball to the right but have had more chances to score than is on the scoreboard.

	Punt on Sports - NRL: Saturday Night League
		Although Parramatta’s 18-12 victory over Canberra surprised many pundits last Saturday night, it should have come as no surprise to Racing and Sports fans who jumped on the $2.65 on offer for the win as well as the $4.25 for a 1-12 point Parramatta victory as suggested here last week.
		To a large extent it depends on which Andrew Johns runs out of the tunnel for Newcastle, however the early signs are OK as the Eels regain Eric Grothe (two tries on Wednesday night) as well as Nathan Hindmarsh.
		While the Eels have again found their winning formula and are again at odds this week, keep in mind they took on an under strength Canberra side, who were without their best attacking player in Schifcofske and another attacking player in Adam Mogg.

		The Parramatta Eels have consolidated their position in the top-four with a tense 34-22 victory over arch-rivals the Bulldogs in a quality Telstra Stadium encounter that featured a first half biting allegation aimed at Dogs' forward Brad Morrin by Eels centre Timana Tahu.
		The Eels went into this game having never beaten the Bulldogs at the former Olympic venue in five starts and for the most part things looked on track for a breakthrough victory until the Dogs rallied late to give the visitors some anxious moments before Parramatta eventually sealed it with a try at the death.
		A loose carry by Grothe in his own in-goal almost cost the Eels dearly six minutes later, but video referee Bill Harrigan ruled the ball was dislodged in a forward motion by Sonny Bill Williams before the Kiwi Test star pounced on the scraps to stake his claim for the possible match-leveler.

		The champion half could have broken the record a minute earlier when Newcastle was given two penalties in front of the uprights, but Johns ignored the jeers of the crowd and ordered a quick tap instead.
		The win also keeps alive the Eels' slim semi-final hopes, while the Knights have lost five of their last six games.
