[QUOTE="skittles, post: 515716, member: 35612"] Well, the Eels are called the Eels because Parramatta means "place where the eels lie" in the local Aboriginal language. The Dragons are the Dragons because of the legend of St. George the Dragonslayer - the team was known as the Dragon Slayers early on. There are some pretty weak nicknames out there though. But don't lump the Panthers in there - that part of Sydney has dozens of reported panther sightings. ;) [/QUOTE]
