The Masonic (private big business operators) agenda to privatise our club has now shifted to the next plank (terrorist campaign) in their grand plan of completely undressing this club so it can be justified into being privatised in the near future. They've done this with all other community/citizen owned assets across this land. User pays is a great way to go, so they tell us, not forgetting that all money since the mid 1930's was no longer backed by the gold standard because the Commonwealth Of Australia was bankrupted back then, engineered by Freemasons, and the Australian Dollar was privatised so that the citizens could no longer own the currency and have had to borrow credit creation (DEBT) money from private interests (always owned by privates even when the $$$'s are in your pocket or pay packet) ever since. Today, the Australian dollar is not even worth .01c and is now the US dollar, thanks to Paul Keating deregulation of banking in Australia back in the 90's. Carry on folks, nothing to see here - get back to your TV's, Ipods, Porno, Booze, Sport, Drugs, etc........... ALL IS GOOD.
Parramatta chairman Max Donnelly: ‘If those people want to stand, the members can vote for them’ Picture Brett Costello

Eels chairman Max Donnelly has revealed he is considering a change of tack on constitutional reform at the Parramatta Leagues Club, a move which could allow former supremo Denis Fitzgerald and three of the Eels directors who stood down in the wake of the salary cap crisis to once again wield influence over the football side.
Donnelly had previously proposed that all former directors be frozen out of future elections but he is ready to alter that stance as he looks to change the way elections are conducted at the leagues club, which is largely responsible for financing the football side.
The changes off the field come as the club begins to reshape its squad on the field. The club confirmed that Canberra Raider Junior Paulo has signed a four-year deal and revelations Corey Norman has been offered to rival clubs.
Fitzgerald was the most powerful figure at Parramatta for more than 20 years before he parted ways with the club in an official capacity in 2009. However, Donnelly revealed he was willing to bend his stance on former directors in an attempt to push through constitutional reform, saying that could mean Fitzgerald re-enters the picture to take on an official position at the Eels, although it is understood there are other impediments to that, not least winning members’ support.
Former Parramatta directors Tanya Gadiel, Paul Garrard and Andrew Cordwell, who all stood down during the salary cap crisis which cost the club 12 premiership points in 2016 and millions in legal costs, could also run again for election.
Donnelly has been previously frustrated in his attempt to reform the leagues club constitution, one of his key reasons to remove the factional fighting which has blighted the club over the years, but he will raise the matter again during a meeting with members on June 21.
The outcome of that meeting will determine whether Donnelly takes reform to a vote.
“I want to get other changes through like triennial elections, postal voting, whatever else,” Donnelly said.
“If those people want to stand, the members can vote for them. There is a discussion meeting with members and I am prepared to recommend that I give in on that restriction to help enable changes that will improve the governance of Parramatta Leagues Club.”
The Eels have struggled this season and coach Brad Arthur has begun the rebuild, having confirmed signing Paulo for the next four seasons.
Paulo had been widely expected to rejoin Parramatta after leaving in 2016 at the height of the salary cap crisis. The Raiders were reluctant to compete with the bid on the table from the Eels.
The more intriguing developments is the future of Norman. The Eels half is about to enter the final year of a big-money deal and it is understood rival clubs have been approached about taking Norman off the Eels’ hands.
The 27-year-old has struggled to strike up a combination with Mitchell Moses this season and it is understood the Eels would not stand in his way if he was able to find a new home. That is likely to be contingent on several factors, not least of which is whether the Eels would be willing to pay a portion of Norman’s salary for him to play elsewhere.
Parramatta are yet to make a call on the future of Jarryd Hayne, who is also off contract at the end of the season. Hayne has struggled this season with injury. The club has promised to give him every chance to find his feet before making a decision on his future.
Arthur said he was excited about the prospect of Paulo returning to the Eels.
“I’m looking forward to having Junior back at Parramatta,” Arthur said. “It is always great to have a local Parramatta Eels junior return to our club and I know Junior will be an asset to our team next year.”
