Rumours and Stuff

Who is throwing these people out?

Not the fans, the members no longer get a say in who runs the club. The Parramatta NRL board is now just their own little group of people, who can only put their own little group of people on it as they see fit.

Wow, so we're the Communist Eels... Go commies

This issue with this type of setup is that it is fine when you're going OK, but if we fall, we won't get back up again. We will sit in the bottom part of the ladder like the Tigpies have done for over a decade.

Agreed if the culture and attitude doesn't change but you never know.

The current top of our club might get thrown out like fitzy was, a jack Gibson type coach steps in and we get another crop of youngsters.

Can happen.

Another Jarryd may pop up and take the team with a new coach to a different in a totally different direction.

What we have is stale and been around too long... How did we throw out fitzy or the plumber et al? No one is afraid of the parramatta Eels coz they know how we play and our best is not week in week out

That's why I'm here.. Waiting for the change to come

Yep that extinction level asteroid is coming too. No really it is coming, but are we going to be around when it does?

How does signing Harper help the team in 2024?

We apparently tried to sign him for this season but he knocked us back and now because no NRL side wants him he is happy to come to us?

How does that show us as a fan he is here to win and buy in for the club and isn't just here chasing the $$$$$$$$.

If this signing comes through then I may just terminate my 5 memberships. Next yr would be 25 straight years but fk that If Lionel Ritchie is signed....He's a dud and would be blocking a young kid getting a crack...development club my ass

We should have gone all out for Crichton. Thats what we should have done. BA needs to be sacked. I’m going to celebrate like we’ve won a comp when he finally leaves our club. His one dimensional tactics and vision is now a decade long and we have gone backwards.

Stop speaking the truth...

He was also in the NSW cup team of the year in 2021. I’m curious to see how he’d go if he was given an opportunity. We’re crying out for backs who can make metres and he appears to be one of the best in NSW cup yet we gave Lumelume a run over him.

Very similar scenario to Wiremu Greig. Once he was given a chance out of utter desperation look what happened. Our ability to recognise talent is poor even in our own back yard.

fmd, one tweet from a guy called League Scene (whom I've never heard of) and everyone is balls deep into it, 7 pages of bashing BA and the club over someone that we haven't signed

and yes, I do LU

Ive seen that movie. We’ll be fine.

 

[TheRam]

f**k you talk some shit

I can't wait till round 1 next year we will be in it up to our eye balls!

But bot win it again.

Look at our backline for f**k sake. In what footy world does that backline win titles? Not to mention our overall defensive displays. Unless we get that down to under 15 a game we have Buckleys even if we had a better backline.

Yes I know, better backline probably means better defense. Chicken or the egg?

Conclusion...we have f**k all chance of taking a lap of honour next season or anytime soon for that matter. You can bank on it as much as baldy loves a water bottle defense up in Darwin.

Michael Chammas reporting it too. Reckons he’ll be there November 1.

‘Gonna go again’: Police and security prepared for another McLinden pitch invasion

Former NRL players Mark McLinden was arrested by NSW Police after he ran onto the playing field during last year’s grand final. Before Sunday night’s decider, he announced his plans to do it again.

Why?

Do you really think that his replacement is going to be the answer?

What odds of that being the case?

Chances are we end up with another middle of the road coach that gives us much the same over his tenor. We look for value not high end. Value means that you are hoping to get a Andrew Webster type of result that only happens once or twice in a generation or two.

We need to be a only the best and elite will do type of club that flukes mediocrity, not the other way around.

@Twizzle i had a post deleted for “word filter breach” . I have no idea what post it was or what word filter I breached? How am I meant to avoid breaching it again if I don’t know the post or the word?

 

[TheRam]

We are now the little brother.

It's a little embarrassing tbh.

Little brother?

Try baby in the crib without a milk bottle.

 

[Pazza]

Cini is mid polish atm

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We don't want to be one of those clubs that are playing big coin for Farnsworth, we want to be letting him go after 2/3 years because of cap pressure.

This is what most merkins can’t grasp.

 

[Avenger]

Seriously just STFU, people whinge about all us whingers but how is continually sticking up for mediocrity any better ffs?

He does it to get a rise out of you. I can’t see how he doesn’t tire from it but that’s the internet for you.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Of course we f**ken don't. We keep p*ssing it all away on f**ken depth you imbecile!!!

You need thirty players in your squad ffs. Having depth is unavoidable. You really think you can spread your cap over only 17 players? Wake up to yourself.

Oh p*ss off you negative arse!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Surely someone like Cini - who can't crack First Grade - is worth more of a shot than a guy who has played 56 games, and been abysmal in most of them?

I mean, sure, he has First Grade experience - but he's so bad.

What exactly is so bad about Morgan Harper? One game where he was left isolated against a noted tackle breaker?
