You are correct… But! This is Parramatta… Baffaling and absurd recruitment decisions are endemic… It is what makes us (not) great!!!

Foxx on the run? Addo-Carr in Parra's sights with rep star trade bait offered to Bulldogs as three more clubs hover

I don’t think any Parra fans are in ‘denial’… just commentators… Most of us Eels fans knew the season was gone long ago…

NRL week 26 preview talking points: CNK gets lucky, it’s miracle time for Eels and do you really like what you do for a living?

And are playing Matterson in the halves on his return from injury!!!
Surely there was a better option!
D. Brown you have have to wear this….

Round 16 Team Lists Late Mail: Dogs cop unexpected blow, Taumalolo cleared, winger axed for missing bus

That’s a line through the Sharks then…. Conceded 50+ to the Storm and there is still a few mins left…

What are the KPIs for a premiership-winning team? It adds up to only four clubs a hope of winning 2023 NRL title

Disagree… I have been underwhelmed by SOO for quite some time and found Internationals to be far more absorbing… Have particularly enjoyed watching the rise of the Pacific nations and have more interest in the international game than NSW v QLD…

International rugby league is dying a death - and it’s Origin that’s killing it

Oh dear… Parra face the Rabbits… A team at almost full strength in very good form… A team they struggle with… At a time when Parra have some injuries and very poor form… This could be ugly.. very, very ugly…
( For us Parra fans )

Round 12 team lists Late Mail: Foxx good to go for Origin audition, Dragons recall key duo, Dolphins cult hero dropped

How exactly? Not a negative comment. Just asking. The 2 codes are very different to me… In culture, attitude and what they want to achieve…
Sure the players share a similar physique and skillset…
But the two games are very different…

'I don't want NRL to be feeder system': Gus fires back in Suaalii slanging match after Robbo blasts 'ridiculous comment'

Parra managed to win despite Moses…
Gutho, Mahoney, RCG and Lane/Matto/Papalii won that game… Moses and D.Brown were a little below par

Finals Five: Eels on brink of history after manic, engrossing win but Cowboys were better team

As Parra fan… not optimistic ( because I am a long time fan … lol) but… I am happy for the Cows… I hope it’s a fair contest with some great footy… massive advantage to the Cows being up in Townsville… but anything can happen in league…
Did not expect Parramatta to get this far…
The only downside to this match will be the Ch9 commentary…
Oh dear!
I will listen to the wireless even though the times are out by 5 to 6 seconds…
Enjoy everyone… may it be a great controversy free game…

Stretch, rattle and roll: How Parramatta can beat the Cowboys

— COMMENT DELETED —

Arthur lashes critics after Eels make statement in dismantling Green Machine to bury semi-final hoodoo

Haha… it is true…
Cannot beat the rabbits…

Finals Week 1 Team List Late Mail: Talakai 'looking good', Hughes returns, Manu out, Murray on track

Yeah… players who spend all week together never discussed how much they get paid… never came up in conversation… hours spent together… nothing… lol.
No mention of speed boats or brown paper bags… jobs for the wife…

Eels shouldn't have 36-year drought: Why Parra and Manly deserve Storm’s stripped salary cap trophies

I have a small piece of 2 x 4 timber in my yard that I use to keep the shed door open… it would be more useful to Parramatta than Trent Barrett… at least you could whack Moses with it when he is being a goose… Brad Arthur thinks Trent is ‘a good fit’… he could be right… both Brad and Trent have a history of failure… Parra’s slide back to the bottom is assured…

NRL News: Graham goes into bat for Stuart, Walker defends Fainu show of support, Barrett joins Eels

You could poach Brad Arthur …

Why Ciraldo 'five-year plan' is a massive risk for desperate Dogs

” gimp room “… gold! made me laugh!

Round 22 team lists Late Mail: Klemmer out, Broncos late switch, Foran doubtful

Understand…

Every team’s run home: Best and worst final-round scenarios as Broncos need miracle to make playoffs

The Eels struggle with Moses!

The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Round 21

Really? Parra 4 or 5?… not sure how many games they can win for the remainder of the season… 7 or 8 … maybe

Every team’s run home: Best and worst final-round scenarios as Broncos need miracle to make playoffs

True… the rest of the 1st grade squad and Brad Arthur can wear the blame this week

NRL News: Nofoaluma to Storm, Michalak at Sharks, Waddell, Finucane cop hefty bans, Klein axed

Not much… a horrible development for the nrl…
What other advantages do the Storm need to be ‘competitive’…?
Pick the best of the comp to get them through the ‘horror!’ of losing 4! in a row… are they gonna lend the Tigers Munster or Pap’s next season?

NRL News: Nofoaluma to Storm, Michalak at Sharks, Waddell, Finucane cop hefty bans, Klein axed

There were 16 other Parra players that deserved booing for the insipid and poor form against the Bronco’s… Jake Arthur is not the issue… the whole 1st grade squad including the coach needs to be held responsible.

NRL News: Nofoaluma to Storm, Michalak at Sharks, Waddell, Finucane cop hefty bans, Klein axed

As a fan… it is the same horrible question each week… which Parra will turn up?… the team that can beat the Panthers and the Storm or the team that loses to the Dogs and Tigers…
???
All the ability to challenge the top teams… absolutely none of the consistency…
At least I saw them win a GF in person… way back in ’82…
I could shuffle off before that happens again…

Round 19 team lists Late Mail: Papi knee 'shattered in 10 pieces', Manu, Averillo out, no Turbo timeline

Maybe… just maybe… given the great changes in Australian society and rugby league since 1980… (when origin began)…
Maybe… despite the high ratings and Ch9 hyperbole… maybe SOO is not the pinnacle of rugby league moving forward… maybe the concept of NSW VS QLD… has been outgrown by the popularity of the sport for people who don’t necessarily identify with either of those states but love rugby league… this is not to downplay the huge part SOO has played in the rise in popularity rugby league amongst all fans… just saying that the concept of ‘NSW Vs QLD’… may or has become less relevant to many rugby league fans and I imagine it will continue to do so… regardless of eligibility criteria… this just reflects the growing international diversity of the game in both players and spectators

Brian To’o's Samoa call is everything that's great about rugby league

Yes… but nobody needs Melbourne to gain another gun…

Would the Dragons be travelling better without Zac Lomax?

Same at Parra… 😂

Round 15 team lists Late Mail: Keary, Wighton out, Eels star dropped, Ivan to coach from home
