[Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

[Shoe1]

I wonder why there has been no “open letter” to fans, or “truth sessions” among the players. These symbols of atonement are mandatory after a flogging. Obviously the eels don’t care a fig about losing 54 blot.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

I wonder if the Guntster has instructed his manager to open talks with Trent B?

THEY’RE the words that strike fear into the hearts of long-suffering Parramatta fans.
“The Eels should be good this season.”

That was certainly the case this season for Parra, and may still be, with an excellent coach in Brad Arthur and a talented squad coming off the back of a finals appearance.

But we’ve seen this before: The Eels have a strong season that should only get better next year, only for everything to fall in a heap. The club, 32 years and counting since the last of its four premierships, has a devastating gift for not living up to the hype - and here are five examples since the turn of the century.

There is a great piece from that article that discusses the Ricky Stuart overhead projector fiasco. Then there is a photo caption that says "Ricky Stuart at Parramatta. The less said, the better." HAHAHAHA

I still think the way Foran crashed and burned at the Eels is the single most significant indicator that the club is cursed. What a graveyard it is. He was heralded at the messiah and they were winning games and he was playing brilliantly. All of the sudden he got injured, got in a lot of trouble with his family, a lot of trouble with betting agencies, was depressed and on the verge of suicide and ultimately has never recovered. What a club can do to a player...

I think sterlo is still recovering from the train wreck that was Foran. He went out and bought extra eggs to put in that basket. So funny. They are going to give us an encore this season with Jarhead too I hope.

They looked like us a few years ago. A team of individuals running around the park in the same colours no binding and no leaders

 

[Pablo]

Saw this on FB.
Apologies if already posted here somewhere.

 

[mickqld]

Who cares. Go suck sht slime. Living through those 4 premierships filled me with enough hate to last 20 lifetimes.

Superhero round springs to mind

Dali Arthur unleashed Jayne;
The Eels mentor told Fox League's NRL 360 that the key would again be giving Hayne a voice in the club's premiership charge.

"You've got to give the players some input which allows them to have a bit of ownership of the team," Arthur said.

"I find with Jarryd he likes to have input into the team. You've got to be really honest and firm with him but also you need to have an ear to listen because he knows the game really well.

Seems to have gone well.

Had to laugh at arfur's response to the question about 'warming up' before Sunday's game, he said they cut their warm up by 5mins and that the sheds were too small to warm up in and were just as hot as outside. Seriously Brad, no wonder you lost with that dumb sort of logic

Good article on foxsports about parras recent failures.

Read a comment on Twitter saying Arfer has been given 6 weeks to turn things around or Madge will be employed to get the job done...

Trouble in paradise...

The players will now decide if they want him to stay or not

A few more losses and it will be obvious they want him gone

Bugger .... did we forget to turn the heaters off in the away dressing room again!

Sorry Brad, next time we'll remember to put the air-con on for ya .... hehehehehe

Brookie oval away dressing sheds, the most oppressive and uninviting in the NRL love it!

Parra should have been in the home sheds as I heard they were a rather cool 20 degrees thanks to Daiken air conditioners

Almost as funny as their list of half backs signed to be the next Peter Sterling

Some memorable names there Tulsen Tollett Troy Pezet. Ben Kusto

Funny we don't hear anything from the bald headed gimp since he heralded Foran as Parra's most important signing ever

 

[Spartan Eagle]

For mine Ricky Stuart's era at the club was gold.. He gutted them and left them out to dry. And to think that some of us had mentioned his name as a replacement for TBaz. Pure madness..

Got a gut feeling his use by date at the Happy Clappers is rapidly approaching as well ...
