This forum has some sort of collective alzheimers. Four years ago Parra won their 3rd spoon in 6 years, 5 years ago the NRL stepped in and appointed an administrator to run the club, but now you all puff your chests out like the rugba leeg Man U?

Did you know that we have a special place for merkins who come here and troll us ? It's called The Swamp.

The Swamp

I know that many of you couldn't care less about Brian Smith since he left, but there are also a few with a soft spot for him who are interested to see how he goes at the Knights. Here's an update from the Newcastle forum on the impression he's made thus far. In accordance with their...

Yeah basically right there.

Of course the chook fans wouldn't have an issue with the current arrangement. Why change what's worked so well in past 20 years.

The big question will be when Uncle Nick eventually goes as he in his 90s now they will have the systems in the place I suppose with the big backers in town.

Will it continue post Uncle Nick?

He has made them bullet proof mate with hundreds of millions dollars worth of investments. I don't think much will change unless they stuff up and manage it all badly, which I doubt seeing the types of business savvy and bankers that sit or have sat on that board. They will always have major power brokers that they can draw on when needed. The perks of being the Sydney City team.

That's why we need to position ourselves as the Parramatta City Eels. In other words start courting as many high ranking Parra business men and women. CEO and board members of the biggest and wealthiest businesses in our area. Especially bankers. We need to groom them and seduce them into loving our club. It would take some time but within a decade or so we might have some real heavy hitter that love our club and are on our side.

I would also work hard on bringing in as many elite private schools too. Invite the teachers and kids to our new COE when it opens and make it a regular training day experiences for them. Build our training facility as a place to come and watch the premier team of the west train and then mingle. Make it a regular thing to have crowds watch our boys train and come in and experience the facilities and have a coffee and cake type of thing. Make us a very approachable type of organisation. I mean we have gone out to a whole new area, we need to build bridges and networks. Make ourselves the team of the people for the people. I would also try to bribe, yes I said bribe the headmasters of the most elite rugby schools into allowing RL to be played like the AFL are now doing. That is where the future execs(including politicians and TV execs) generally will come from.

But we need to completely transform and brainwash the whole of Parramatta and its surrounding areas of influencing institutions and businesses into loving our club and being participating supporters of the future. You know like what ASIO or the CIA do by cherry picking the most gifted and talented university kids and turning them into spies by flattering them and convincing them to do it for the love of their country while they are still young and stupidly naïve.

Sitting on your hands and thinking it will all work out, especially when there are so many other enticing options to choose from will only see us lose out and eventually someone else will step in. The Sunday Footy Show reported last Sunday that the Tigers are almost 7000 juniors strong. The Panthers 9000. I believe we have 6500. We need to not lose any more ground, especially to our western neighbours. The best way to make sure we stay kings of the West and actually get even more popular and stronger is to create a program and allocate some recourses to solely focus on the ideas(and expand on them) that I have stated above.

Not to do so is corporate folly and wishful thinking that we will always maintain our dominance in the area. Other organisations including the AFL, when the wind and tides change, will be very pleased that we thought so too.

I would start with that Westfield's High School that Suaalii and Penisini came from and usurp that guy that Manly currently have on their payroll. It is ridiculous that we have allowed other clubs to do this right under our noses.

You actually used a great example. Man U are exactly like us. They haven’t won a comp in ages, are on the way up and are the sleeping giant of their competition.

Exactly like us.

Whilst you guys are like Leicester City. Won a comp once, done nothing since and are about to be relegated.

They are what Kerry Packer described as 'you only get one Alan Bond deal in your lifetime'

This infamous quote was a remark from Kerry Packer on the business deal that saw Alan Bond buy the Channel 9 network for just over $1 billion in 1987 and sell it back to Packer for $250 million just three years later.

I aint reading all that...

Chat GPT to the rescue!

The author believes that the Sydney City team is unlikely to lose its power and influence, given the significant investments and savvy business people on their board. They suggest that the Parramatta City Eels should focus on building relationships with high-ranking business people, particularly bankers, and elite private schools to increase their support base. The author proposes transforming and brainwashing the Parramatta community to love and support the club, similar to how intelligence agencies cherry-pick talented individuals and persuade them to work for their country. They argue that failing to take action to increase support for the Eels could result in losing ground to their western neighbors and other organizations. The author suggests starting by targeting Westfield's High School to secure talented players and staff from under other club's noses.

Why worry about the Westfield High.

We have our own production line at the Rouse Hill Rhinos coming through.

It's been BA's 10 year plan from coaching them from under 10s all the way up to first grade.
