Hello Parra Fans are we a hated team or a like team amongst the other nrl sides I refer to what this bulldog fan wrote to me..here it is and please answer my question are we or arnt we hated by other teams.Here we go
The Super League war came and Parramatta was right in the middle of the money madness spending $9million dollars on buying back the premiership with four key players from Canterbury the main signings. Parramatta's multi-million dollar investment came close on two occasions to paying off but both times fell at the final hurdle. In 1998, they led Canterbury, incidently the team they spent millions on weakening 18-2 with ten minutes to go before a Craig Polla-Mounter inspired comeback crushed the Eels 32-20 after extra time to see the Bulldogs make the grand final. In 1999, they took a 16-6 lead against Melbourne into half-time but the Storm, the eventual premiers scored two tries in the second half as the Eels crumbled again. The Eels made a great charge in the 2000 Finals but once again fell one game short with the Broncos hanging on for a sweet victory.Parramatta completely dominated the 2001 season except for the only game that mattered. Parramatta smashed every record in sight and statistically were the best performed team for many seasons but when the crunch came Newcastle dominated the decider to win 24-0.The fallout from the 2001 disaster was gradually felt as the Eels started to decline over the next three seasons where they missed the Finals in 2003 and bombed out after just
