Can you let me know what the secret to eternal life is ploise moite!!

We are no hope at the present moment when we have people running the club not willing to do all it takes to win a premiership.
Well in all seriousness i think we will win one eventually then I can live the rest of my life with satisfaction.

I doubt it will be in the BA era. He should be gone in a few years. No lunatic organisation keeps a coach for 15 years when they have won nothing.

The tide has to turn at some point.

The current players group don't have the right attitude

And the coach has to bear some responsibility for that - he chooses the team.

But our coach gave the co-captaincy to a player who is happy to trundle the ball up to the line, throw a stupid pass, and be defensively inefficient.

And go box in the off-season, because why the f**k not?

Incidentally, why is the club allowing him to box in the off-season? If he were to suffer a serious injury...

They are also allowing REG to box as well...

The only good thing is that they are still training pretty hard for the boxing match.

I suppose that's the rationale - it keeps them fit.

But there's a lot of risk attached to it - I don't think it's worth it.

Completely agree if they cop some bad head knocks during the fight or even in training it will impact us next year.

I agree.

I thought it was a little myopic of the club to allow this.

And it would surely be an insurance nightmare - what would happen if RCG, or Paulo, were ruled out for the season, because if a head injury they received while boxing?

The NRL probably would not give us cap consideration and we would be down a prop but as long as they get that small payday....

Imagine if the Ram and the internet was around in the 50s and early 60s when we were just winning wooden spoons for fun!

And then when Pou says we are just a small club with no resources he wouldn’t be talking absolute bullshit for once.

They would have been the fruit-picker days weren't they before the changed it to the Eels.

Can you imagine the memes if social media was around with the Parramatta Fruitpickers.

I’m kind of at the point where I’d even just settle for at least seeing us be in front on the scoreboard in a Grand Final. Three repeat efforts of not playing until we’ve already lost is three too many.
