I started this year probably more NRL obsessed than ever. Not sure why but so many good stories. I was watching more footy games (almost every game each round), listened to endless hours of footy chat each week and enjoyed the Parra news.

I’m unsure why, but the whole Galvin saga for some reason pushed me from optimist to the opposite. I only share this for discussion but f**k me it’s turned my nose off footy atm.

Is that weird?

It was probably around 2013 when Ricky Stuart bailed on us that I accepted we would probably always be underdogs. We will have good seasons, and could possibly jag a premiership when we do, but those narrow premiership windows will always be followed by lean periods. That's just the fate of most Sydney clubs these days.

I thought the new constitution in 2019 would change things, and it did make us more professional, but Gould’s work at Canterbury proves that professionalism isn’t the solution. There needs to be dodgy merkins behind the scenes working to bypass the rules the NRL has implemented to make the competition fair. It’s only fair if everyone follows those rules.

Besides your pessimism I agree with 90% of your post. So my question is why do you attack us when we are being realistic or pessimistic ?

My only problem is when you are looking for merkins to blame. The lack of dodgy, influential merkins who love Parra is not the fault of anyone at our club. They just don't exist. If they did, they would help us despite lack of any official connection to the club.

I'll watch most games where I can but barely watch any of the footy shows as they are all agenda driven and there always seems to be an allegiance or liking to certain clubs yet love to lay the boot in to others...
For me the breaking point was during our salary cap saga where they continuously and incessantly drilled us but with pride and joy like they uncovered it all. It was only due to self reporting you gutted dogs
But definitely dont like the carry on with some muppets in the media...absolute hacks

I dont have a problem with Bracey because he always been professional in everything he has done.

And let's be honest is it his job to question Gus.

I think the problem is higher ups at channel 9 who put Gus on a pedestal and put him on podcasts and TV shows.
He always comes across to me as a creepy robot.
