Eels in the media

There is a worrying amount of baldness in that photo.......

Seems like the club have a type when it comes to employment.

Now that Murph is gone have you considered putting your hat in the ring to replace him with the criteria they seem to be looking at.

Its a 11 year job with potential long-service, lack of accountability and by the end your just running around with the water bottles revving up the lads on the field.

Sounds like a dream job for a proud Parra man like yourself.

Sounds right in my wheelhouse, I’m bald, selfish and in it for myself.

I also bleed blue and gold. Only problem is I’m not 7 mins from training and I don’t have any untalented sprogs to push ahead of other juniors from the Parra district. It might count against me in the long run……

Are my eyes deceiving me here.

The club think Coinakis is the best hooking prospect at the joint since Reed Mahoney left.

Have they forgotten who they let go this year.

Sounds to me like that is the club giving the middle finger and a f.. you to Boods and the Arthur family.

Can someone check on that Sixties bloke off TCT? He may blow a head gasket at the lack of recognition of Boooooods.....

You can't say anything about slightly negative about Arthur on that website.

I happened to scroll through one of the training reports back-end of last week more to see what the cucks had to say about Ryles.

And i started giggling after some poster called the Japanese Raven said something about BA that had a slight negative slant to it.

Sixties and a few other clowns on there flocked like clueless seagulls calling out any criticism of BA.

NRL 2025: Parramatta Eels boss Jim Sarantinos defends signing of axed Bulldogs star Josh Addo-Carr
Parramatta boss Jim Sarantinos has strongly defended the Eels’ decision to sign Josh Addo-Carr, insisting the new recruit has been spoken to “at length” about his off-field incident and the club’s expectations of him.

Parramatta chief executive Jim Sarantinos has strongly defended his club’s decision to sign Josh Addo-Carr in the wake of his drug-driving scandal, declaring: “He has been given an opportunity to redeem himself and it’s up to him to do that.”
The Eels on Monday unveiled the former NSW Origin winger on a two-year deal, posting an array of photo and video content of Addo-Carr smiling and laughing on their social media accounts and club homepage.

To his credit, Sarantinos did not duck questions about his concerns over Addo-Carr’s off-field incident, how their new signing’s behaviour fit into the club’s beliefs and what Parramatta’s expectations were going forward.
The Eels boss said he had spoken with Addo-Carr “at length” about the drug drama.
The second year of Addo-Carr’s deal is a club option in Parramatta’s favour, which gives them the chance to sever ties after next season if they are unhappy with the arrangement.

Sanatinos is adamant Ryles was “very clear about the culture he is building” and that Addo-Carr would need to “adhere to (club) expectations” to see out his deal.
“Jason had an existing relationship with Josh when they worked together at the Storm, and that played a factor in his decision to sign him,” Sarantinos said on Tuesday.
“We’ve spoken with Josh at length about the incident, those conversations will remain private.
“He has been given an opportunity to redeem himself and it’s up to him to do that.
“Every coach has their own vision, and Jason is very clear about the culture he is building around the playing group and the club.



The expectations are that Josh and every player in our roster will adhere to those expectations and make our club and members proud.
“We have been looking for a fast outside back and the opportunity to speak to Josh was presented to us.”
Addo-Carr still has three matches of a four-game, NRL imposed suspension, to serve. He was also fined $15,000.

The All Stars match looks set to remain in February. That’s good for Latrell Mitchell

The Indigenous All Stars game looks set to remain at the start of the year – and that should be good news for Latrell Mitchell.

www.smh.com.au

The NRL’s plan to shift the Indigenous All Stars fixture to the end of next season has been met with resistance from senior First Nations players – and that is good news for Latrell Mitchell.

The All Stars game looks all but certain to remain in February when the NRL releases the 2025 draw at the end of next week.

And should that be the case, Mitchell, who has become the face of the Indigenous All Stars’ fixture, can apply to serve his suspension that week, rather than miss round one with South Sydney.

They better let Fox do the same…

 

[Gazzamatta]

Can't they serve their suspensions at The Koori Cup?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

unprecedented pathways investment that includes a $70 million centre of excellence

Sounds expensive

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The only thing that disapoints in this is that Charlotte Henry isn't in the picture as the Tasha Gale Head Coach.

Is she bald?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

f**k me, its a bald convention

ffs

 

[Noise]

Is she bald?

Landing strip

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I don't know about everyone else but regardless of his off field stuff I'm excited that Addo Carr is coming to the club I feel like this is similar to when we signed Fergo and perhaps he might’ve had some influence in the Foxx coming to the club. He looks a lot happy.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Corey Norman usually looked pretty f**ken happy too.

I’m surprised he agreed to a second year player option in the clubs favour. I thought there would have been other clubs willing to offer him better deals. I was against the signing before but this is pretty low risk and a good get if it’s the case.
