Eels in the media

I think poor Gus is being harassed on SM by Eels fans and is taking it to heart. Lots of truth in what he says but his level of vindictiveness smacks of someone using his media presence to get one back.
Very interesting last night after spruking The Chooks as Premiers all season he jumped off big time and of cause told all hes seen this coming for weeks. I truly believe he believes his own hypocracy.
Yesterdays man. Fu*k off to NZ. Make it happen Jacinda.
Also interesting the 100% Footy Panel interviewed Ivan Cleary last week. Guess who was replaced on the Panel by Brad Fittler last week and didnt front?

The Rugby League Digest have just dropped a case study episode on Parramatta. I haven't listened to it yet so can't say much else but their podcasts are consistently good so I'm sure it'll be worth a listen.
I listened to it and thought they were quite misinformed and did not do enough research. Not entirely their fault because they are at least 10 years younger than me but even I know that Parramatta did not save the ARL during Super League, Newcastle did. If they defected the ARL was finished and it would have led to a domino effect.

In fact Parra and Saints were on a phone hook up and either wouldn’t commit without knowing what the other were going to do. I remember listening to it on the radio. I also remember when we were a bee’s dick from merging with Balmain and proposed to be called the Parramatta Tigers but Fitzy’s insistence on keeping our colours killed the deal. The Tigers’ board asked Fitzy when was the last time they saw a blue and gold tiger before hanging up and agreeing to sign with the Magpies.

I was so relieved we didn’t merge.

Having listened to the rest of the Super League war series, they are definitely aware that the Knights saved the ARL. Must be this week's guest pushing the Parra-saved-ARL line. Typical f**ken Eels fan.

If anything the Super League war saved our club because we were suddenly competitive, going from 19th to 3rd in the space of two seasons.

It wouldn't have worked.

...and the one on the right looks like a bit of mincer.

Good job Balmain, glad you didn't agree to Fitzy's ridiculous blue and gold tiger proposal.
