Parramatta Eels Qualify For Their First NRL Grand Final Since 2009

Australian NRL (National Rugby League) team the Parramatta Eels, have qualified for their first grand final appearance since 2009 (NRL equivalent of Super Bowl)

They have the longest suffering fans in the league, with their last premiership being back in 1986 (36 years)

It would seem that the people in Western Sydney are rather excited

The highlights for the game do not do justice to just how tight and intense this game was, with it going down to the last seconds

gotta love a team calling itself the Eels

congrats

I see there are also Roosters and Rabbitohs in the league

Rabbitohs play for the other spot in the finals today against a team everyone expects to beat them (last years premieres as this years minor premieres)

But I think South Sydney (Rabbitohs) can beat Panthers

It's an interesting situation

Parramatta are one of the only teams to beat Penrith this year, doing it twice
Whereas Souths struggle against Panthers
Whereas Parra struggle against South's

It's a bizarre triangle of bogey teams, so any 3 of them on their day could win this year

But I think it will be a Parra Vs Souths (West Sydney Vs South Sydney) Grand Final

And I don't think Souths will be able to handle Parra after today's game, which is likely to be a bloodbath

Half my family supports Rabbitohs, half supports Parramatta

If you ever wanted to know just how brutal and hard Rugby League can get?

I would recommend watching Penrith Panthers Vs South Sydney Rabbitohs today

In the South's Vs Roosters final last week, they are honestly trying to take each others heads off

7 players were sent to the sin bin (10 minute penalty off the field, where your team is down a man) for foul play

And the team South's play today will be worse

I'm tipping a bloodbath. It should be a brutal game

Pennrith won, 28-12
Next year, Eels!!!
