The 2014 Parramatta Eels Season was the 68th in the club's history. Coached by Brad Arthur and captained by Jarryd Hayne and Tim Mannah, they competed in the NRL's 2014 Telstra Premiership. The Eels finished the regular season 10th out of 16 teams, failing to make the play-offs.
Summary
The Eels determined to continue their rebuilding process in the off season after receiving the wooden spoon two years running. The club has done this by releasing 12 players and signing more in key areas to help them achieve success in the 2014 season.[1] Some notable players are:
- William Hopoate
- Corey Norman
- Lee Mossop
- Nathan Peats
Parramatta also recruited a new coach in Brad Arthur, formerly an assistant coach at the club, as Ricky Stuart reneged on the final two years of his contract. This was in order to return to his hometown of Canberra and coach the Raiders, the team he played for during his youth.
The Eels started strongly in the 2014 season, defeating the New Zealand Warriors 36-16 at Pirtek Stadium in their opening round, a mirror of twelve months previous where they also defeated the Warriors 40-10.[2]
The Eels missed out on the finals for a fifth consecutive year with a loss to the Canberra Raiders in round 26 of the season, had they have beaten the Canberra Raiders the Parramatta Eels would have made it into the top 8. The loss had added bitterness as the Canberra Raiders are coached by former Eels coach Ricky Stuart.
