Wikipedia:

In their first five seasons Parramatta had won 28 and drawn eight of their ninety matches for a not disrespectful 35.56 percent winning rate, but the period from 1952 to 1961 was to prove the most disastrous of any NSWRFL club since University won only fifteen matches in nine seasons between 1929and 1937.[2] In these seasons Parramatta won only 35 and drew two of 180 matches and claimed the wooden spoon on no fewer than eight occasions, including six in succession from 1956 to 1961. After Hey moved on at the end of 1953 Parramatta went on a merry-go-round with coaches: they had five in as many years from 1954 to 1958, and even former Rabbitohpremiership coach Jack Rayner could not lift them off the bottom between 1958 and 1960.[3]
 
This is a great read!

Worse than I thought. I think they only made the top 5 or playoffs about 12 times.

My favourite bit was this....
.......but the blue and golds, despite a promising start under captain-coach Boden with two early victories, won only one more game and returned to their familiar place at the foot of the ladder.
@:D
nothing's really changed much from the 60's then.
 
LMAO. Probably chased them around the paddock smacking them on their arses with their new improved wooden spoon.

I couldn't believe there was barely a whisper about the great Dalai being given the arse after delivering another spoon.
Word is though that he's gone precisely 5 matches to make an impact or he'll be standing in a Centrelink crew with 90% of their fans.

The club today denied they had no trophy cabinet and today released photographic evidence of the same.

Surely this constitutes child abuse....No Mum, please don't make me go to Parramatta.....

MUM MADE ME PLAY FOR PARRA

You know how they say mother knows best. Well, Brown has a very good reason never to doubt his mum again.

In fact, if it wasn’t for her advice, he’d probably be still back kicking around with his teenage mates in New Zealand.

“I was a union kid the whole way up,” he recalled.

“Then one year I just decided to play league.

“All my mates at school were and I was trying to get a day off here and there.”

But it didn’t take long for him to capture the eye of the Eels, when former football boss Daniel Anderson and Craig Wilson spotted him at a schoolboy tournament.

“They asked if I was interested coming to Sydney for a trial,” Brown recalled.

“To be honest, back then I didn’t think much of it because I was like, ‘Oh, it is just Parramatta’.

Brown became an instant junior star in Australia. Picture: Brett Costello
“All we knew about was like the Storm and all the teams that were winning.”

But Brown decided to give it a crack and after returning home, he received another call: “I think it was a week later, Anthony Field called up my mum. He was like, ‘we want your son to move over’.

“I was like, ‘no, no way. I’m only 15’.

“I didn’t want to go but my mum was like, you’re going’.”
 
Terepo stood down immediately due to an alcohol related incident on the weekend
 
Doesn’t matter who that kid plays for. He will be a star. Warriors offered him a fortune. Got all the skills .
