Eels in the media

The "report"wasn't leaked.
A summary of the report was sent to a number of people in the Parra system, including some of the bigger junior clubs. It appears that one or two of those were unhappy with the junior Eels setup, as to them it appears that there are 2 clubs only that get shown some level of favouritism when it comes to rep selection and pathways. Odds on one of these clubs shared it with the too many people and it found its way to a journo. The report had nothing in it regarding NRL team, BA, JA, or Nrown.
Do scouts from other clubs go and watch players from those junior clubs as well or only Parramatta scouts?

I am thinking that scouts from all clubs watch a lot of the juniors and/or 'hear' about some up and coming kid and then go and check them out.
If the juniors are open to all NRL clubs then why is there an expectation that they must be picked up by Parramatta? I mean sure it’d be nice to represent your local area but it’s obviously not the be all and end all.

I don't think Michelle Bishop on SEN & Channel 7 likes us btw which is quite strange as she is pretty defensive of most clubs and players when she talks but with Parramatta its the opposite.

And she always seems to tip against us as well. Last 4 weeks she has tipped the Broncos, Storm, Panthers and now raiders to beat us.

I found what she had to say interesting about the feel of the place being unlike any other teams and like a schoolyard. And of course again the mention of senior players questioning selections. It also fits with the hot and cold nature of our performances.

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 🥸🤓😐

Definitely better suited to radio.

I just cant believe some f.wit leaked this to the media.

If people want BA gone do it and the end of the season.

I am happy for BA to be sacked as he hasnt helped this situation but don't leak garbage to the media so it gives the media an excuse to drag the club through the mud 24 hours before a final.
