Eels in the media

[King-Gutho94]

Interestingly enough his record is 7 wins and 5 loses away from his time at the Roosters.

His overall coaching win% record after Fittler retired in 2004 is 46%.

Yes but now hooper is helping his agenda...

But what or rather who is behind Hadley's agenda?
My mail is that it isnt Hadley but that he is being fed by a disgruntled former club official.

If true, anyone who tries to sabotage our club/team the day of our biggest game in years should be barred from ever attending our club or games again as they are not a fan or a supporter.

He stated that Hodgson was signed and that was the catalyst for Reed going to the Dogs, and repeated that several times, that is not correct, as Hodgson was signed after Reed had confirmed he had committed to the Dogs . Apparently, the club has contacted 2GB to correct it, ignored as usual.

Matty Johns is an agenda driven halfwit.

He is happy to avoid talking about the problems up at his knights a lot of time.

He hasnt said one positive word about parramatta in 10-15 years. Sinks the boot in even when we win.

Maybe that's who BA was talking about?

Avenger is correct though, if little Jakey doesn’t get picked this is not even a talking point.

Then the brain dead cretin admits that Jake probably won’t see any game time, while a bloke like Brown with his experience and line speed could be invaluable against a very big Canberra pack. But yeah this is the best bench he can pick no nepotism at all

I think it's safe to say it's time to shut the f**k up about bench selections. It's the coach's f**king job to manage those risks and he knows what he's doing better than any number of deadshits on the internet or talking to @Legal Eel at Guildford Owls home games.

Also, I have no love for Cartwright as an option if we are chasing points. IMO that is when he is at his worst.

I disagree. When is he better?

It seems the entire RL media is after us all of a sudden. Either they had all been holding grudges or someone's created controversy to make us step in a pile of shit tonight.

Alternatively, they all want to see The Green Machine win the Grand Final.

Our only friend in the media is Ennis so I'm hoping he'll defend us a little bit.

Yeah and if we win they will be crawling up our ass. Typical media. Play both sides against the middle. Hate em!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

f**k me, is that a real name

It's still not as good as Solo Alone.

But but they are a real fan, they just want what's best for the club and refuse to accept mediocrity. That's why they drag us through the mud and give the media so much oxygen.

The secret premiership clause: Bonus to push Moses into NRL millionaires’ club

Mitchell Moses negotiated a bonus in his contract meaning if he leads Parramatta to premiership glory he will become the newest member of the NRL’s millionaires’ club.

Good the know the club is putting on something for the fans at leagues club on Friday night.

Having a couple of big screens and food outlets in the car park is a great idea. It will create a great atmosphere.

Hopefully it isn't raining though on Friday night at Parramatta early weather reports suggest it will unfortunately which could ruin it.

Your columnist has been involved in plenty. Gus, Sterlo, Wayne Bennett and stacks of others.This season is no different. We might need an 8-page lift-out to publish the list of those who won’t be exchanging Christmas cards this December.The ugliest stoush right now is broadcaster Ray Hadley and Parramatta Eels coach Brad Arthur.It will be in the grand final of grudges with Andre Ponga and Dennis ‘Bullfrog’ Ritchie. Or even Kenty and Maroon.On Saturday we phoned Hadley to get some background on his beef with Arthur.He’s away on holidays and all he gave us was a terse “No comment.”This feud has been going on for a couple of years.After disposing of the Canberra Raiders on Friday night, Arthur spoke of the outside noises.He didn’t name Hadley or journalist James Hooper, who broke the story last week around a leaked internal review that uncovered claims of nepotism in Eels pathways, among other issues.“Someone’s got an agenda but they’re not going to break this group,” Arthur said. “We’ve worked too hard. There was no need (as a group) to even talk about it.”On Saturday we spoke to Eels chief executive Jim Sarantinos about the situation.Like most people, he’s not keen on going to war with Hadley or saying anything that might inflame the situation. The broadcaster is too powerful.I know that because I’ve had my own stinks with him over more than three decades and it’s not always pleasant.“Would we like Ray Hadley in our corner? For sure we would,” Sarantinos said.“We’ve tried to reach out a couple of times but not lately.“I’m not sure I could change his mind anyway.“I don’t know where he gets his information from but there have always been people outside of the Parramatta club who think they can do a better job than the people inside.“We just need to be strong, support each other and block it out.“You know the history at Parramatta. It’s a bit like Canterbury. People are willing to try to bring down those on the inside.”Hadley claimed on radio on Friday that forward Nathan Brown has been frozen out of the team after questioning Arthur’s selection decisions.“He can’t in any way get any reaction from the coach about anything. It’s monosyllabic,” Hadley said of Brown, who hasn’t played since round 17.“There’s a group of players there – Gutherson, the halfback Mitchell Moses … and Junior Paulo. They form a group of players who have the complete confidence of the coach and many others are largely ignored. They’re not in the clique, the other players, and when you’re not in the clique… it’s not the way it works. “You’ve got to be all encompassing at a football club. If there’s people there you don’t want you get rid of them I suppose but you can’t have little cliques here and there. It doesn’t work and it’s never worked.”Sarantinos says Arthur is coping well.“Brad’s a tough man,” he said. “He’s had to ride a lot of bumps through his career.“I’m really happy for him that he’s been able to guide us through for next week’s prelims.“He’s only concerned about coaching the side. And he’s doing a very good job at it.” Arthur silenced the critics with the magnificent win over Canberra on Friday night.Nothing beats winning. But Parramatta chairman Sean McElduff wants to sort it out.He told me: “We will attempt to catch up with Ray Hadley post season to discuss his feedback.”Not that Hadley will back away. Never has, never will. When he returns from leave there will no doubt be further instalments.As the great man would say: “Don’t touch the sets, don’t touch the dial, don’t go anywhere.”

Ginnane said on Triple M on Saturday that Eels players are on a media ban this week.

I’m a fan, firstly keep them focused on going to NQ and getting the job done but also it’s a big FU to the media after the timing of the nepotism report.
