ParraFirst plays down Fitzgerald link

It saddens me to see this once great club suffer these difficulties once again.
It seems this is a regular occurrence at the Eels with massive in-fighting amongst the different groups. If you're not all heading in the same direction, this will continue to bite you on your arses.
A bloody shame if you can't get your back office in order once and for all.

As an outsider, why does this happen...continuously? You have had some of the best players in the history of the game, yet it appears they all hate each other??
Has to be disruptive to new coach and squad...
(Serious question guys)

I think because of our profile we attract our fair share of hangers on, and they all want to dip their fingers in the pie and all end up pissy with each other.

This has stopped us being able to establish that culture of professionalism that would put the brakes on the hangers on culture.

I fear it won't stop until we get a private owner who can tell the hangers on to f**k off and get a life. They love the club, no doubt, but sometimes the undying love of deadshits can really hold you back. Just ask my wife.

I think there's also a belief from our ex greats that the club owes them something and they're after their little bit of the gravy train .

For sure.

It would piss you off to have played in the 80s for peanuts and then see how much the current players are on.

Yes but let's not forget that there has not been another player since them ( other than Hindy so far ) that will be spoken about for their on field feats in 25 years as they are . The million dollar question is would you take the $ or would you rather be remembered as a Parra legend ? Unfortunately only Sterlo and to a lesser extent Wynny were smart enough to really cash in on their status .

I recieved my ParraFirst candidate info and policy statement through the post today. At least they're getting out there and putting themselves before the members, which the incumbent ticket do what past incumbents did - which is very little at the moment, until forced to by a challenging ticket.

First points to ParraFirst in being organised and communicative.

Maybe the incumbents are leaving it to the week of the election so it's fresher in the minds.
Just sayin'

They are loving the fact we missed out on Izzy, they think it's in the bag on nospam46. Pack of Dribblers.

I'm unsure why I just got deleted. I'm absolutely not trying to break any rules on this site. For what it's worth I'm very disappointed we missed out on Folau.

I meant no disrespect. All I'm doing here is making myself available to anyone who wants to ask me anything. However if I see something that is just plain wrong surely I have a right to correct that?

understood, nothing personal here and LU has no political stance

not here you don't, and that applies to all political parties and the last one found out the hard way

same rule applies to everyone

However if I see something that is just plain wrong surely I have a right to correct that?

fans are allowed to express their opinion whether its right or wrong, you act on behalf of ParraFirst and you got your own website to say what you like

this is a fans site

not sue I can make things any clearer than that

I hear you Twizzle. Thanks for clarifying. If I can't participate here then I'll leave you to it. All the best.

the other mob just threaten to sue if things are written they don't like, seems to get most threads pulled pretty quickly when it makes them look bad.

I wish they would let sensible debate happen here but they make the rules.

But if I see something I think is wrong, I can try and correct that because I'm a fan? (And then get howled down for having a different opinion to some of the knuckle-draggers with the loudest voices on here, but that's another story....)

I take it this is the opinion which is a load of B-S that someone was trying to correct?

I guess it comes down to what "they" means... if they simply means "fans on the other site" then fair enough. If "they" also is meant to mean one side of the election politics, then it's a broad assumption and should be challenged, and questions asked as to what agenda might cause someone to present an assumption about one side of these elections in that way?
