Coached by Brad Arthur and captained by Tim Mannah, they competed in the NRL's 2015 Telstra Premiership. Summary Before the start of the 2015 season, the club were hit with the news that star player Jarryd Hayne would be terminating his contract in order to pursue a career in the NFL. However, in the opening round of the season, Parramatta recorded an impressive 42-12 victory over Manly. The club would only go on to win a further two games and by round 11 sat bottom of the table. During the losing streak, Parramatta suffered narrow losses including the round 10 defeat against the New Zealand Warriors in golden point extra-time. Parramatta lost the match 17-13 with Luke Kelly missing three conversion attempts including one right next to the uprights.https://nothingbutleague.com/2015/05/16/nrl-match-review-parramatta-eels-13-new-zealand-warriors-17/ Parramatta Eels 13 New Zealand Warriors 17 nothingbutleague.com 16 May 2015 https://www.nrl.com/news/2015/09/08/eels-2015-season-review/ Eels 2015 season review www.nrl.com 7 September 2015 https://www.fijitimes.com/radradra-breaks-ellas-33-year-old-club-record/ Radradra breaks Ella's 33-year-old club record www.fijitimes.com In round 13 of the competition, Parramatta lead North Queensland 30-6 with 20 minutes left to play but would go on to lose 36-30 after North Queensland scored five tries in 12 minutes.
