Eels in the media

[Kornstar]

Bothers me not a jot, despite the fact his views don’t align with mine. The social media team read the room wrong though.

Like i said, he is the PM, regardless of your feelings towards him the position he holds will always be used this way.

The footy players don't give a shit about our political views, the leader of the nation came into their dressing room (who happens to support the opposition) and had fun with him.......Bob Hawke skulls a beer and we still f**king hear about it today......didn't he cheat on his wife? There are also the allegations below.

I guess that is ok though cause people liked him........

This is not a go at you either, sorry if it comes across that way, i just find it very humorous the outrage on social media.......when it is convenient of course.

I also want to make it very clear, i do not support any political party and haven't voted correctly in my voting existence. I hate all politicians equally.

Brad Arthur challenged his Eels to run the ball for more than 2000 metres against the Sharks – and they smashed that barrier in Saturday night's 28-4 win.

Parramatta lead the competition for running metres after three games with an average of 1948 per game but hadn't reached 2000 in their opening two wins. They racked up 2398m against Cronulla and showed no mercy to a team that played without a bench for the second half due to injuries.

"We've got a powerful team and that was our plan tonight. It didn't change. If anything, once they were down to less changes it was probably more important," coach Arthur said at Bankwest Stadium.

"I thought it was important this week for where we're at and I just thought it would work for us," he added.

While Cronulla were in the wars, Parramatta had their own health issues with halfback Mitch Moses failing a first-half HIA and powerful winger Maika Sivo having to pass an assessment after a head knock.

Arthur was confident Moses would be fine to play in next round's traditional Easter Monday clash with the Wests Tigers.

Match Highlights: Eels v Sharks

"He wanted to come back [tonight] but obviously he wasn't in any condition to," Arthur said of Moses. "But he's fine."

Interchange utility Will Smith came up with two try assists as he filled Moses's boots and helped keep the team in sync.

Arthur was pleased with Parramatta's patience.

Arthur prefers protocols stay as is

"We didn't lose our cool. We had a fair bit of ball down their end and couldn't get across the try-line," he said.

"We got close and close and close but we stayed calm and knew once we got one we'd get a couple.

"I talked to the boys about us being a touch more professional. At times last year, we'd panic or try and pull the trigger on every play. But I thought we were way more professional at the back end of the game."

They read a sub section (who happen to be the loudest on social media) wrong, not everyone.

I bet there are plenty of people who thought it was funny.......as it was intended.

The Eels had the PM in the dressing sheds after a win, why wouldn't the PR team try and spin that to the clubs advantage??? I dislike both sides of politics but when was the last time we had the leader of the country anywhere near our sheds??? Of course people were going to wring their hands together and find fault it's what they do.

I agree. I thought it was fine and would have been a missed opportunity if they didn’t post about it.

Harold Holt in 1966.

Post about it, by all means. Just don’t say “He’s ours now”.

That made my skin crawl.

Are you suggesting the typical NRL fan probably didn't vote for him?

That was a bit naff.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah it would've been better if they'd said "He's going to be a Parra fan now, and we won't take no for an answer."

 

[T.S Quint]

Better him than Buzz though.

Better him than Buzz though.

Buzz would have necked the can of Great Northern Reed was handing out, no doubt about it!! Probably would have drunk the shed dry if given the chance...

And then shit himself at the Maccas outside.

I see Fergo's deviated septum on Mr Lane.

I think the premise of the beef was that he claimed many times that he "did not have time" to read reports into allegations, attend female protests etc. So the optics of him smooching with footy players was poor. I agree with you though, blown out of proportion by Murdoch press as usual.

I too would rather go to the footy than attend a rally.
