New look plan for parramatta

[parra pete]

Get this man back, and restore the magic the Club once had...

 

[Casper The Ghost]

He's been and gone Pete.

Those were the days when we had players who never took a back step and worked their arses off for 80 minutes backing each other up as team players and gentlemen.
They had no concept for "back doors".
Gees, we could do with a few players like we had back then in our squad for next year.
The last player that reminded me of the 60's toughness, guts and no back door attitude was Dean Pay. Well at least we got him to help with nurturing our younger forwards.

Ray Price was the greatest Eel of all.

didn't fulton captain/coach the roosters in late 70s?

 

[parra pete]

Was Fulton cc of Easts when beaten by Canterbury in 1980? Can't remember and I was there...It was Artie's last game in the ARL for Parra...beaten by the Bulldogs in Reserve Grade Grand Final. The Eels Reserves were coached by Ron Fearnley...(again from memory---or was it Mick Alchin)..Jack replaced the coach of the twos with John Monie, and also brought in Alf Richards, and Mick Souter as part of his team.
God Jack was great (thanks scoop!)...

 

[TheParraboy]

last captain coach was Wally Lewis 1992, GOLD COAST SEAGULLS

 

[TheParraboy]

incidently if it wasn't for gold coast back then, we'd probably win a wooden spoon or two in the early 90s

Fulton was the coach but didn't play in the GF. Not sure how many games he played that year. If at all, think he might have retired by then Royce Ayliffe was the captain. Great GF remembered by that Gearin try.

Bubba Gearin taking a Brentnal kick on the full. We (Hay Magpies) had Steve and Chris Mortimer attend the Hay Clubs Presentation Night THAT year. Terrific blokes..we had good fun with both of them...

Ray Price was the greatest Eel of all.

Parramatta's most influencial players of all time would have to be: Ken Thornett, Ray Price, Peter Sterling and Michael Cronin - and probably in that order (in my opinion).

Brett Kenny for mine. He was awesome

What about ol' Hindy? Has he done enough to be considered in the same breath as greats like Price, Thornett, Kenny, Sterling, etc?

 

[guruminga]

Any of you mob remember a Parra player named Paul Jackson? I ran into an old mate in Uluru last week and he said he's working with him at AAT Kings. My mate's prone to exaggeration, but said he'll be sitting with him on smoko and Sterlo would give him a call for catch ups, etc.

When did he play? Was he any good? Did he play Rep footy?

[parra pete]

There was a Brian Jackson...but I don't recall any Paul Jackson...!!!!
