Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XVIII

[caylo]

f**k, the game is getting specialised these days

Haha good******* squad player, I don't trust white guys cooking sorry. Need more pacific Islanders for that

The Eels cut tough prop Mitch Allgood loose this week - and may be about to release another experienced player.
Former Souths winger/fullback Justin Hunt has been told he is free to look around.
Hunt had an injury plagued first year at the Eels after coming to the club on good money, playing just one NRL game.



With Jarryd Hayne leaving, Hunt could have been a contender for the fullback spot - but is unlikely to remain at the club.
There has been interest from a couple of NRL clubs, and Super League in the UK.

There's the whole difference right there.
The Wanderers have a private owner. No elections. No jostling for control. No shitfights behind the scenes which end up on the back page.
If you find anyone willing to buy the Eels, then things might change.

That's my point though. The NRL if they are serious about progressing the game to a higher level and had some BALLS, would step in NOW already and place some real tight guidelines or sanctions, or whatever it takes, to outs these self interested, incapable, losers and bring in a totally new and professional board.

I mean how hard is it??? Everything the NRL does is horrendously slow to the point of disaster, before they react.

It is inevitable, Parra needs a total revolution at operations/board level to ever be a real force in the NRL and probably the NRL's greatest asset if done quickly enough for people to still care.

The question is, not if it should be done, but when? If we leave it to happen organically and it naturally takes its course, then I'm afraid that will be in years(10+) by which stage who will give a toss and will ultimately mean the ARLC has failed in many regards and is on the way down while other sports have jumped it like Soccer.

Or they can do their fiduciary duty and be professionally proactive and act NOW, and right the course of a massive ship that has been listing for years before it sinks into the dark waters of sporting insignificance, so to speak.

We will have our answer with in two or three months I suspect.

Somehow that tweet is perfect from Ma'u. I just don't see him as the talkative type.

 

[eel01s]

If Hunt does leave that is a pretty big turnover for next season. BA is building his own squad.

 

[lingard]

do we have a back up fullback?

In first grade? Robinson. Very good fullback.

I don't necessarily disagree with you. But could there be some laws, rules, regulations, policies, etc that prevent the NRL from just going in and dissolving the board and appointing one of their own?

They obviously have no direct authority over the Leagues Club, but they can place conditions on the renewal of the NRL license I guess.

The Eels website had a short video oof him getting interviewed just after he re-signed earlier in the year. I don't think I've ever seen a bloke speak so softly, and yet still look like he could rip out your guts with his teeth.

Yes they have the power similar to a franchiser and franchisee. The franchisee needs to adhere to all the terms and conditions in the license agreement or the franchiser can impose a scale of sanctions/penalties from minor to terminally serve and cancel the license agreement altogether.

Now sure we need to be in breach so as to warrant action against the board, I know. But as all good businessmen know, if there is a will then there is a way. Get the best solicitors to make sure that you can put enough pressure on the turkeys to move them on. This is usually done by finding ways to make the directors personally liable if possible, which is a very efficient way and often used strategy of getting what you want or a quick resignation. It is all about pressure and how much the quarry can take? I think you will find most pull the injection cord fairly quickly when their own stuff is threatened.

Strong businesses with strong leaders who truly have a vision of success and dominance do whatever it takes to clear the path to success, all the time. You and I just don't hear about it because it is what happens in the back room so to speak.

I don't think that many would deny that the NRL needs some very tough love at the moment on a few fronts to become the powerhouse that it can and in my opinion should be and the Parramatta Eels are just one very important part of the jigsaw puzzle that needs sorting, urgently.

Also one must remember, there have been many headlines alleging illegal indiscretions that have surrounded our club over the last year or so by board members, therefore I don't think it would be to difficult for the NRL hierarchy to find the RIGHT motivation to move some of these people on at the very least.

There have been way, way to many hangers on and absolute tools that have had a voice of power within the workings of the whole NRL and Clubs administration since its inception. I believe that it is time to unclip the wings of the grand old girl that is Rugby League and lets all see how high she can fly.

Eels Release Mitch Allgood

[I'm a loser baby...]

I don't care how much of a basket-case our club is. There's no way I'd ever pull the injection cord.

Well, that's what I mean - the NRL would some how have to find that the Parramatta Leagues Club was in breach of something or in some way operating in a manner that warranted their intervention in the first place.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Why would the NRL step in now if they didn't when Spags and Ossie were running the joint? We were listing, yes, but now the plumber has fixed the leaks and all the shit is being pumped out. All aboard!
