[Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

[Terry Zarsoff]

I've no idea. I was responding to somebody who mentioned they were celebrating their 75th something... I was joking by referring it to non-premiership years

75th anniversary of joining the competition, same as us. However yes, their 76th season is now in play, since joining in 1947. It’s only Manly’s 73rd, discounting the NE years.

Come on fellas, mental arithmetic - it’s not that hard.🙂

You know hatreds and feuds come and go. Vermin, Rorters, Purplescum, Donkies, Drug cheats Knights and Sharks but nothing will surpass that ever present year after year hatred for that westie scum sucking club and all it's whinging whining slime supporters. Long may they continue to be losers.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I hope they sack BA and bring in Barrett when he gets sacked from the Dogs.

Watch for Gould to start talking up Barrett as a great fit for parramatta, a smart young coach with big ideas and potential.

77th year, they forgot they were Cumberland in 1908.

They lost all 8 games and got the spoon.

Blue and gold, the same as their descendants parramatta.

This spoon should be added to the eels’ tally.

To be fair he is the best rookie coach in the comp who is in his 5th season

We celebrate winning a maximum of 10 years apart.

Parra have forgotten how to celebrate, go easy on them……not!

What a field goal by Hasttings. I always thought when he was with us, now theirs a talent player that's dying to come out. Plied his trade well in the EPL and come back a better player for it.

Damn I didn’t realise he was such a good soccer player, get him into the Socceroos! 😉

Weakening one position to strengthen another.
Rarely works. In this case I hope it totally blows up !

 

[JenEagle]

Fifita being moved to centre last night was a disaster

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Kenny Brett, aka Robert Redford, busted for assault on the CC. Headbutting.

He was always a pretty clean player.

Thanks Jen.

Eels great Ray Price and other concerned Parramatta people, including former sponsor and fan Andrew Eagleston, have written a letter to chairman Peter V’landys and the ARL Commission about the plight of the Eels juniors, asking questions about how Manly are able to recruit so many of their young potential stars.

They want an investigation into that and what they say is a collapse of the junior league. The letter reads, in part: “The Parramatta Eels junior league is in such a state of disrepair the Parramatta junior league has had to merge with Canterbury to ensure there is a competition in 2022 in many age groups.

“If not urgently addressed, this issue will completely undermine the game’s growth strategy. There is a significant player exodus from Parramatta to Manly. Why would so many talented Parramatta juniors play on the other side of Sydney? There are so many talented Parramatta juniors at Souths, Balmain, Canterbury and other clubs.”

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Why would so many talented Parramatta juniors play on the other side of Sydney?

Er, to be associated with a club that sometimes wins a premiership?

Ah! Back to the good ol’ days. First Wests now Parra!
Well we must be doing something right!
Congrats to our recruitment team … they must be doing a good job if the opposition are worried!

FMD we're not holding a gun to their heads. We make them an offer and they either accept it or not. Perhaps these Parramatta luminaries should read the Competition and Consumer Act, particularly those articles relating to restraint of trade.

this is why we need to be concerned about concussion. pricey copped a few

 

[Rackets]

Maybe because our recruitment team recognise talent unlike the slime who probably just leave them in the scrap heap. It's probably also because some of these youngsters are smart enough to realise they can make a name for themselves playing for a successful team like Manly and the opportunity of winning a premiership rather than collecting spoons.

 

[The Who]

How many Parra juniors do we have? Keppie and who else?
I'd swap him for the Manly junior Parra recruited!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Maybe Schu? Fainus?

 

[HK_Eagle]

Maybe because we give them a game?
