Episode Synopsis

The Parramatta Eels find themselves in a very real quandary as they dropped their third straight game following a 40-12 loss to the South Sydney Rabbitohs in Round 21. Sixties and Forty20 try to decipher where it has all gone wrong for the Blue & Gold over the last three rounds and how it can be remedied ahead of a crucial match against the Sea Eagles.

Conversation in the media has now turned to the notion that the Parramatta Eels were never really premiership contenders and the boys discuss the validity of the call. Did the club and fans overestimate the roster and if so how far short are the Eels of contending?

Finally, with Reed Mahoney succumbing to the same shoulder injury that saw him miss State of Origin the Eels have a huge hole to fill. Joey Lussick will step into the breach once more but do the Eels need to make more changes? The boys argue the case for Bryce Cartwright and why the absence of the NSW Cup might shape a multitude of such possible decisions.
