[Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

[Woodsie]

I know we have a lot more tourist coaches coming to Manly than bum-crack Parramatta, but it would be interesting to compare the number of First Grade RL coaches both clubs have had.

Trent is Manly's 22nd coach .... Brad Arffur is Parra's 29th coach

 

[niccipops]

Ridiculous

With all their advantages they are so far behind the ball itnis not funny

How many times have they done this same process? I could not be bothered googling but I seem to remember Paul Osbourne doing the same thing before he left the joint under a cloud

They are also on the NRL's agenda for success so leg-ups, new stadiums and positive media is the instruction from Toddy.

What beats me is that since the demise of Norths, Manly is the only team representing northern Sydney so you would think that the NRL would actually want to keep that going rather than continually try to hinder it.

Part of the problem is that there is no competition from other major national sports teams in northern Sydney. No A-League team, no AFL team and no Super Rugby. The NRL isn't in a turf war there

With crowds of 5k last year show the NRL that league support north of the bridge is dying thanks to Penns and Barrett

And the NRL should be doing everything they can to help Manly improve that, not continually angle for us to eventually move all home games to either the new SFS being built or ANZ, or worse still out of Sydney altogether to say....Perth? We are basically their only presence north of Sydney Harbour until you get to Newcastle. The NRL would be stupid to lose that.

Question is, just how stupid is the NRL?

The tale of the tape:
Joined Premiership - Manly 1947, Worms 1947
First Grand Final - Manly 1951, Worms 1976
First Premiership - Manly 1972, Worms 1981
Grand Finals - Manly 19, Worms 9
Premierships - Manly 8, Worms 4
Minor Premierships - Manly 9, Worms 5
Wooden Spoons - Manly 0, Worms 13
World Club Champions - Manly 1, Worms 0
Pre-season / Midweek Cup - Manly 3, Worms 3
World Sevens - Manly 3, Worms 2
Clive Churchill Medals - Manly 7, Worms 4
Whichever way you look at it.....its still LOL @ Parra. The ONLY thing they have won more of is wooden spoons.

What a awesome read. To make it even funnier, you should re-post it on the Doesn'tmatter forum.

NRL draw in disarray as Eels reject Western Sydney Stadium deal
OCTOBER 16, 2018

PARRAMATTA have sensationally rejected a deal to play their home games in 2019 at the brand new $300 million Western Sydney Stadium - throwing the NRL draw release into disarray.

Eels chief executive Bernie Gurr has declared that the club is refusing to sign off on a commercial deal, which he has described as unacceptable, with VenuesLive the operator of the stadium which is under construction on the site of the former Pirtek Stadium at Parramatta.

Gurr claims six months of negotiations with Venues Live have broken down due to the club refusing to accept a contract which would have adverse implications for the club financially, while also severely compromising food and beverage and ticket prices.

The new Western Sydney Stadium is due to open in 2019.
The stalemate will result in the NRL being forced to mark TBC -to be confirmed for all of the Eels home game venues when the 2019 draw is released next week.

In a letter sent to Eels members on Tuesday, Gurr wrote: 'Over the past six months the Board and Management of the Club have been involved in detailed negotiations regarding a commercial agreement for our Parramatta Eels Club at the WSS.

As it stands today, the Club has been offered commercial terms by the stadium operator that are not acceptable to the Board of the Parramatta Eels Club or the Parramatta Leagues Club.

'Therefore, when then NRL draw is released in the near future, the venue for the Club's home games in 2019 will be marked as 'TBC'(to be confirmed).

'Our view that the current proposal is unacceptable has been confirmed after an extensive six-month due diligence process conducted by myself and other members of the management team."

The due diligence process has included the engagement of a reputable consulting firm.

'Together we have benchmarked the commercial terms of the current offer against offerings currently being received by NRL and other sports at a range of stadiums across multiple states of Australia.'

The current proposal if accepted would adversely affect the ability of our Club to invest in our Football Department including our NRL team and our junior elite football programs.

'The current agreement at ANZ has adversely impacted the Club financially and we are not prepared to accept a new agreement that will continue to impact the Club negatively for the next 25 years.'

'The Club will also not compromise on key areas that are important to our Members and supporters such as:

* Affordable food and beverage pricing and options

* A clear public transport plan for WSS to enable Members to attend games smoothly.

* Reasonable event costs to ensure affordable pricing for Members and causal ticket holders.

* Expanded opportunities for our Corporate partners to help drive revenue for the Club.

* Better technology to enhance Game Day experience.

'In the interests of arriving at a fair and reasonable deal, we are continuing our discussions with the stadium operator in an attempt to resolve this matter quickly so that our Members and supporters have a clear understanding of the WSS schedule for 2019'

The Eels had been told to prepare to host their first home game against the Wests Tigers at Western Sydney Stadium on Easter Monday in round six.

However, all planning has been put on hold to resolve the current contract wrangle.

A reasonable person would have expected that the future tenants would have signed occupancy agreements prior to the new stadium being built
