Great post Ronny, someone has to come out and say what's needed to be said. Instead of accepting the same bullsh*t every year.if our side was playing well, coached well, management addressing issues eg player recruiment and retention we wouldn't be having this whinge would we?
I'm sick of fence sitters, we need more people making noise, other wise management will believe they're doing well.
The funny thing out of all of this is that the vast vast majority of supporters can identify who good players are and who aren't, the coaches and management are oblivious.
Our club is a shambles a disgrace, we're second best organization have you noticed? while other teams recruit Bennetts etc we get the seconds like Hagan, when clubs like Canterbury sign Hannant, Newcastle buy Cross we get the likes of re-signing finch to 3 year deals or signing Todd Lowries, everything we do reeks of second best, hell even now it has been found that Hayne and Inu didn't stay for less. The management of this club are terrible negotiators, we have one of the worst sponserhip deals in the NRL, fitzy goes for the first offer to come his way, he lacks confidences, his lack of confidence has produced a generation of mediocrity, he re-signs average players to good contracts and above average players like Cayless to superstar contracts, people can deny this but it's fact, fitzy is a genuine looser with no confidence in the club.
Clubs like Canterbury, Roosters have no problems attracting marquee players, they're arrogant, that attitude has made the clubs winners, we're just a club that scraps off the left overs, and nothing will change untill we bring in a succesful business minded idenity who breeds arrogance, a wining culture and has better interpersonal relations, fitzy has been shown to serious lack in every facet of what constitutes a succesful manager/leader, how can a club seriously function if fundamental aspects like communicating with former greats/winners isn't occuring.
The people on this board who actually believe fitzy is doing a good job open your eyes and see the big picture, every single facet of this great club is failing, hell even his pride and joy leagues club is continuly running at a loss, he blames pokie machines for the clubs demise, hasn't he got anyother ideas to generate revenue? i thought succesful businessman are shrewd, strategic, communicators, leaders, can anybody possibly look me in the eye or whatever and tell me fitzy is any of these? can anybody honestly point something positive for this club which will ensure Parramattas longevity and sustainability? no!!!!!!! he cannot even organize players and himself to attend funnerals honouring the great Jck Gibson who transformed this club, he could not even organize players to attend to the need of its supporters at the f**king NRL fan day, this is laughble, a joke, an embarrasement.
I'm absolutely stunned that fitzy even has supporters.
Anyway

Well if Manly offered him 150k as reported so be it. It's be silly to pay that much for a guy who hasn't even played first grade. Disappointed he's gone but sometimes you can't argue with numbers.
This proves you have no idea. Tony Williams will be worth twice that much in 2-3 years. It's not overs when the guy is a class above.
Oh I forgot, we only pay overs for average players or guys past their best...
by god we should be this weekWe should be a very good team, we should be desperate.

So, are you saying that you're content with what's going on at the Eels?
Yup, top idea. I agree 100%, we should all just sit back and chill out while the club is mismanaged and poorly coached back to our 90s also ran status...
And all the bitching and moaning on here is going to change that? :crazy:

The standard "everything will be alright" thread that pops up about this time every year. Funny thing is it hasn't been alright for a long time, so the logic is more than a little warped. I also love hearing things like "We lost to the eventual premiers" or "We lost to a very good team" or "<insert team here> was really desperate for a win this week". We should be a very good team, we should be desperate. Too many fans accept mediocrity (or at the very least want to give that impression on the forums), just like our club management.
What do you want? People to sit back and pretend we're going great?
