What Caused PAINFUL DECLINE of the Parramatta Eels? (NRL) 

The super league war benefitted Parramatta the most when they signed the 4 superstars from the Bulldogs and a few other big names

yeah but technically they won in 2009 and plus in 2022 they were runner ups against a top 5 team of all time

It was all down hill after Ray Price retired!

amazing video man

yo great video man, can you make videos on how to get better at positions like halfback and five eights that would be great thanks

During the Eels’ golden run and the five years prior, Parra consistently won lower grade competitions and club championships. Their juniors were incredible. At the time, Penrith really were a joke. Nobody wanted to play for the “Chocolate Soldiers” so organically, all of 5heir juniors aspired to play for the great Parramatta club. Then the pathway became blocked by the superstars at the top. Parra had become used to having this production line with little effort. That started to change in the late 80’s as Penrith’s credibility grew with coaches like Ron Willy and Tim Sheens. Astute player purchase focussing on experience, toughness and competitiveness such as Mark Levy, Chris Mortimer and Peter Kelly made the club attractive for young juniors. Parra continued their lack of pathways development as they had for the previous 15 years and were left sharing the “Golden West” with Penrith. They had become complacent. Prior to Penrith really getting their act together and becoming a powerhouse that they now are, both had ups and downs. Brian Smith did a great job of developing juniors but missed out on the illusion premiership at the final hurdle but he had the right idea. Parra hasn’t really recovered from their years of complacency with their juniors. Now they are in no position to compete with Penrith and the lure of their coaching system. Maybe Brian Smith needs to be offered a position of pathways development?

I like your voodooos

After the 1986 Grand Final, a few key things happened, Ray Price and Cronin retired, within 3-4 years all the others had retired except Kenny and Sterling. The club thought that they could do what they were doing before which is develop talent and those new players would be the same level, and it didn't happen. The club benefitted heavily from the Super League War and only missed the finals three times between 1997-2009, winning two minor premierships and making two grand finals. So to say the club has been on a slow decline is wrong. Since 1986, the club has declined, risen, declined again, risen again and is now on the decline.
