This reply I am writing now is not on behalf of 3P. It is not on behalf of Grothe Jnr or Grothe Snr or anybody else. It is purely my thoughts. Sorry Parra Pete, I'm putting the 3P hat on the sideline for a minute.
My attitude is that Eric Jnr is a great player. Every body has ups and downs. My belief is that Eric Jnr has a lot to offer to Parramatta and we should do everything in our power to keep him. He is a damn good player and he is a player who actually gives a crap enough to admit if he has had a bad game or a couple of games. He is one guy who is man enough to own up and realise I need to put my hand up and say it wasn't good enough and I am going to work my butt off to fix it. Its a pity that more players within the Eels ranks did not take a good hard look at themselves at certain times of the year. I reckon Guru Jnr is a great talent who is explosive when at his best. Daniel Anderson will decide who is and isn't in first grade and it is up to him who is and isn't performing. I for one really look forward to him being back at his damaging best. I always remember the game against the tigers a fews years back when Eric Jnr basically steamrolled Daniel Fitzhenry like he was a twig. It was awesome. He also scored the try and Parra went on with the game big time.
Again, I am not wearing a 3P hat with these views, they are mine. Personally, you guys should realise how much effort the guy puts in and give him credit for the stances that he took this past year in trying to improve himself. 10 out of 10 from me. Well worth keeping on the books.
