1983, QUALIFYING SEMI FINAL / EELS 30:22 BULLDOGS
In one of the most freakish moments in Rugby League history, Eric Grothe beat five of the Bulldogs best defenders to run 40m, scoring the greatest of tries. The seesawing game saw the Eels run out to an 18 point lead only for the Bulldogs to bring the margin back to within two.

1983, PRELIMINARY FINAL / EELS 18:4 BULLDOGS
A Parramatta side at the height of their powers came face to face with their old rivals the Bulldogs, with the winner advancing to the Grand Final and the loser sent home with their season over.

In a nail biting Preliminary Final the Eels trail the Dragons by three with only moments remaining and the stage is set for Eric Grothe to score a last gasp try, sending the Eels into the Grand Final.
2003, ROUND 24 / EELS 74:4 SHARKS
With the absolute destruction of the Cronulla Sutherland Sharks, the Eels record their biggest margin and highest score in club history, giving fans hope of a return to the golden era of the 1980s.
2009, QUALIFYING FINAL / EELS 25:12 DRAGONS
Having gone down 37:0 in the previous week and limping into the finals, fans gave the Eels little hope of overcoming the Minor Premiers, but in one of the greatest upsets and form reversals in Rugby League history, the Eels went on a winning run, becoming the first team ever to make the Grand Final after finishing 8th.
