Fittingly, episode 100 of season 2024 is of the special variety as Sixties and Forty20 are joined by former Eels CEO Bernie Gurr to debrief a singularly difficult season for the club and look at what lies ahead with a new era being ushered in.

Bernie discusses the review process every club undertakes every year and the obvious factors that played into Parramatta's struggles this year. From there the boys look at which players we should be expecting to turn it around in 2025 and what can the team salvage from their spirited end to the difficult campaign.

The departure of Reagan Campbell-Gillard leaves a monstrous hole in the roster and Gurr isn't so sure it can be filled in the short term - so how do the Eels handle it? What does new coach Jason Ryles bring to the team and how does he make it so the Eels undergo a retool as opposed to a rebuild?

Gurr finishes the show with his overview of the NRL this year, a quick look at the finals series as well as some administrative insight into what looms ahead for established clubs with big time expansion coming to the code.
