Not like you to use weasel words Pou.....

Kenny Edwards played 27 first grade games for Parra after pleading guilty to bashing a woman.
He didn’t bash anyone. Talk about weasel words. Not all violence is the same. Tipping a drink on someone is DV now. Worthy of a fine and suspension but not sacking.
That was no problem for Parra, they were quite happy with that. Parra couldnt cop Edwards running from the cops and sacked him for that eighteen months after he bashed a woman.
Again, he didn’t bash anyone.
Parra signed Auva'a after he pleaded guilty to domestic violence, again, Parra had no problem with it.
And he didn’t reoffend. He was rehabilitated.
AFB left Parra to go play with Dragons. He was contracted to Dragons when he committed his violent act.
No he committed a violent act at Parra as a minor, after we signed him from Souths.

Gil McDougall is Mad Dog McDougall's father...He scored two tries for Wests in the defeat of Parra in its first ever SEMI-FINAL appearance. Wests won 6-0. It was 1962 - and Parra was without Ken Thornett who had returned to Leeds to complete his contract.
While the Mayor was at the back - Parra won 7 and drew 1 - and lost none. After he returned to England, the team lost five straight - four in the 'home and away' series, and the semi-final..BUT we all knew at the time----The Sleeping Giant was Awakening....

I loved that era of Parramatta....It was a time when pride in the Club was on the surge with the supporters who had never even been close to a semi-final. In fact, it took until 1960 for Parra to even be selected for MATCH OF THE DAY status - a Saturday game at SCG.. (Lost 52-0 to the great Dragons team...) Ron Boden was cc, and Paul Pyers, who was seen as great buy, had his jaw broken by Norm Provan early in the match....

That's fair and all, but Kenny was a cheeky merkin and liked to pretend he was cramping up! What a rascal!

Kenny Edwards was a f**kwit, but he didn’t bash anyone.
He threw a drink on his missus. Douchebag behaviour, but but not really worthy of being sacked for.

Didnt Kenny edwards do a drug test saying his name was Kaysa Pritchard and ASADA bought it originally.

Only got caught later on and got suspended for it.

I was there that day and we got smashed as you can see by the score. My father bought me a first scorer ticket and I had Raper and I think it was Wright. Raper scored the first try and very late in the game Parra received a penalty right in front. They gave the ball to Wright which made me excited. Unfortunately the ball never got off the ground. Boy that Stgeorge team were great.
