Anyone else tuning out

Hate to say it, but after being as excited as can remember I seem to have just tuned the NRL out

Not that interested in any other games, don't watch or listen to any NRL shows , and have no faith at all in the games administration under Greenberg

Sure we cocked up, but its pretty obvious we were following the Bulldogs script, everyone is doing it just that our admin is amateurish and being screwed from within

When will the NRL launch investigations elsewhere, its absolutely certain that these deals are done everywhere (maybe not at the Kinights or Tigers currently)

Would have been done when for instance Gasnier came back from France, Bennett and Tinkler were at the Knights, Thoroughbreds etc and so on , don't get started on the Roosters when every second player is on the Footy how for instance

I only watch and attend Eels games, the uneven playing field that is so obvious is smothering the games interest for many, we joined the others to be successful, got sh*t on from within and the game as a whole is now suffering

Wonder if Greenberg and his cronies understand that they have succeeded in sucking the life out of the game for many, helped by the Terrorgraph, a sad day for me and plenty around here

Back to enjoying my kids and others playing park footy except for the Eels games, well done to the hierarchy by singling us out :(:(

I've lost interest simply due to the fact we are proven cheats. I find it extremely difficult to support cheats.

I still like watching games of footy, but after Friday night, am resigned to
Parra being shit again and missing the finals.
The thing I am tuneing (sic) out of is further articles about us cheating. I accept we cheated, but why drip feed it, get it over with, call us grubs and move forward.

Yep, pretty much over league for the time being... just hope we can somehow get our house in order for 2017 and beyond and that all of this crap doesn't derail the next 5 years or whatever.

And I've gotta say, the on field product, and I'm speaking for the comp as a whole here, is pretty poor this year. The fact the dragons are in the 8 speaks volumes. Sure there have been some close finishes in games but for the most part, a lot of those games have been awful for 78 out of 80 minutes... Dragons V Raiders last week, Dragons V Roosters ANZAC day, Tigers V everyone....

Best game has been the Cows V Boncos. Might as well have them play each other every week until October and give people something good to look at....

I barely watched a full game apart from the parramatta ones for the past month. I have lost interest havent watched any shows or even listened on the radio the past couple of weeks.

Only non parra games that will peak my interest for the rest of the year will be origin and grand final and thats only because ill prob go out with mates and get on the piss while im watching it

Yea, definitely lost interest in any game that isn't Parra related.

Gave it a go on Sunday, watched Newcastle vs Sharks and to be honest it was an absolute bore. Parra aside if anyone thinks the salary cap is working with the Newcastle fielding such a young, spineless and weak team has to be crazy. Is that Greenberg and co's idea of a "level playing field"?

Yes, it is sour grapes about us getting caught, yes we deserve whatever punishment but if that is there idea of a level playing field then I have zero hope in the administration.

I'm absolutely devastated about what has happened to us, just straight amateur hour type stuff but if teams like the Broncos, Cowboys etc are under the cap and we aren't? Come on. The signing of Jennings alerted them to something not being "right"? No one raised and eye lid when James Roberts left the Gold Coast in order to move to the Bronocos and add to their ridiculous list of rep players.

Again yes it is sour grapes I'm pissed off, how we have been caught just makes me wanna cry after all the shit we have been through we finally assembled a roster capable of giving this comp a shake, now it's all down the gurgler and who knows we could be thrown back another 5 years again.

I am losing interest in this season as well.

However, what hurts the most is that now Parra are cheats. I don't care if others are doing it, fact I unless there is a whistleblower they won't get caught.

We have to get the club in order before the start of the 2017 season. New Board, new management. Let's do this right. If we retain the right players and buy well (Hayne) we have a shot at winning the comp.

I never watch a full eels game. Normally get really drunk at half time and then stagger off to bed.

God damn it you lot are soft whingers..

We cheated, we got caught, it's our fault, no one made us do it.

Stop crying about it.

I reckon I'm capable enough to take myself to bed you dirty f**ker...

by the way, I'm feeling the same as you lot...I'm so mentally and emotionally exhausted from all this, I'll try and enjoy the rest of the year and then completely tune out for 6 months after that...

I'll be just happy to be sitting on 0 points come round 1 2017.

I don't know what's happening to you fellas but I'm very surprised none of my friends or aquaintances are broaching the subject with me. I keep waiting for someone to have a dig but besides a bronco fan I work with (who shut up after 2 words 'Andrew Gee') no one is saying anything

Anyway, I am looking forward the the Premier league darts finals this weekend. I reckon Van Gerwen might take it out.

Might be something to do with the trench coat that you wear to work.

I still watch all the games, it's habit now.

Shit happens and our stuff will go away.

I am not happy that we are cheats but nothing surprises me with this club anymore, it's been a downhill slide the day 3P walked in and then all that have followed since them!

I'm nearly at that stage, if Hayne ends up at the roosters or Bulldogs etc then i'm done with the NRL except Parra. I'll watch parra games but that will be it, might even cut of foxtel.
The NRL has only every wanted certain clubs to succeed and we know they only want about 4-5 in Sydney.
I hate AFL and Union with a passion so my winters could be very boring.

It's not the NRLs fault we had a bunch of cheaters, who happened to share a couple of IQ points between them.

Sux, but it's kind of like when SK and Ricky were coach isn't it? Season was over by May, let's just watch the games and have fun??

This season is a LONG shot still, but if we win 5 from the next 6 you guys are gonna be jumping back on the bandwagon.

I had one of those awkward reality moments the other day where us parra fans are looking forward to the hope that the start of the next season brings ... then i thought, ffs its not even mid 2016 yet.

I would honestly like to just see us playing good footy most weeks ... sure a premiership is the great hope, but i have enjoyed the start of this season - i dont really care if we dont win it all i just wanna enjoy watching us play

But each loss is gonna be a strain on the guys

I was looking forward to watching Hayne at the 49ers, and well, he went and stuffed that up too.
