I'm trying to explain the different time frames for measuring variance within a club and a team, with reference to something you might understand. Obviously variance in climate, season, weather are too hard, but I won't give up on you.
Well i reckon if you want to compare us to climate we are basically the English weather.

Shit and gloomy for 90% of the time.

With a small ray of sunshine that lasts 5 mins before the misery sets back in and you realise how shit it truly is.

EELS TEAM SIDESTEPS HEARTLAND

Parramatta Eels could be accused of losing touch with their heartland.

Of all the places to book a room for a daylong strategy meeting on Friday, the Eels chose a conference room at the plush Intercontinental Hotel in Sydney’s CBD – a million miles away from their fan base.

As if there wasn’t a suitable facility in western Sydney for the occasion.

What’s wrong with the local Park Royal or Novotel in Parramatta, just a drop kick from CommBank Stadium?

Parramatta use plush Intercontinental Hotel for strategy meeting


Parramatta use plush Intercontinental Hotel for strategy meeting

This is so typical of Parramatta, a club with lots of top-end-of-town corporate experience but not a heap of footy nous.

Not that chief executive Jim Sarantinos agrees.

“Every internal and external event we host is in western Sydney,” he said. “This is a once-a-year occasion, and an opportunity to take our leadership team to another location – pretty common for any organisation.”

Agree. The only difference is Parramatta has far better options then Penrith.
You obviously haven’t spent time at the Panthers hotel, held conferences there and it’s very decent.Not the point really, as before just a headline that teams like Panfers don’t get because not many people care.
