Rumours and Stuff

Oh my God. Resorting to shaming us.

You should be f**king ashamed.

Give yourself an uppercut @TheRam

 

[Avenger]

I think its the other way round. Also, I can't be certain but I am pretty sure that Gordon Bray is Satan.

Do you prefer Gordon or Goran?

Take it with a grain salt but James Hooper on Triple M just said if Parramatta keep losing to finish the season that the rumblings are the club may go another direction perhaps Wayne Bennett.

James Hooper...gets all his "inside information" from the League Unlimited Forums...

 

[eels_fan]

Just like Weeeedler used too

He has probably just been reading a few throwaway lines around here and passing it off as his inside info. He's f**king clueless that merkin

 

[Twizzle]

Hooper, lol

Great source, how the f**k would he know ? MON just felt like spilling his guts to him ?

So another 3 years of Bea then, ffs!!

 

[Johnny88]

Yep probably bullshit , just passing it on. Most journalists say he will at least see out his final year of his contract.

 

[Incorrect]

Connor Watson is apparently still unsigned for 2022. I'd be keen to bring him to the club and tempted to play him in the halves with Moses and shift Brown to the centres. Waqa to wing, Penisini the other centre... Backline needs an overhaul and new ideas asap

 

[eels_fan]

I can’t see us ditching BA Early. Especially with the coaching/footy dept cap now in place. We’re not the type of club happy to cop a fine or pay for 2 coaches at once.

was just considering the same as I watch this game. Wish we’d made big play for Best before he resigned.
I’d take Watson though, he’s also a professional and genuine 14

I don't think we can afford for him not to. A bunch of merkins had to take pay cuts last year ffs. The rest got rissoled. We're not made of money.

Please be true.

That needs to be balanced against potential loss of revenue or sponsorship should fans or sponsors become dissatisfied given previous fade outs. There is currently massive anti BA sentiment out there. Additionally there are always the vocal detractors who initiate enormous pressure via the media on our Board and CEO. Its a business after all and its not unknown to throw a coach under the bus to protect ones self. These last 6 weeks, 1 down 5 to go, are massive for BA. Dont kid yourself otherwise.

yeah not convinced brown is a half. And we may struggle to find a decent centre so this (shifting brown) could be an option.

most clubs culled staff last year. Was it a case of not being able to afford them, or smart business? Plus every player took pay cuts too. Does that mean we can’t afford an elite player for 2022?

 

[hindy111]

These are facts.

We lost 3 of last 4.

To Panthers minus Cleary
Raiders minus Wighton we had no Moses
Rooster minus Keary we had no Moses

There is 5 games remaining. Lets say we only beat Cowboys and then get bundled out by Knights/Raiders/Titans or Sharks week 1. Which is what I expect is going to happen then BA will be gone.
It would be 8/10 games end of season we lost. Not the worse scenario.

The worse that could happen is we beat Cowboys and a weak Penrith side and perhaps the Sharks week 1 in finals then get belted the week after. Prob enough to keep BA.

I'm hoping however we beat Souths,Manly,Cowboys and Penrith. Finish top 4 and give it a shake. The Parra inside me hasn't given up hope yet. This is ideal result.
