Now for the dynasty...

Regardless of whether Parramatta wins this year's grand final or not, the club is on the verge of a new dynasty that could even surpass the glory days of the eighties.Jarryd Hayne's four-year re-signing will be the centrepiece of this dynasty. There are a handful of marquee players in the game who can score you points regardless of the ebb and flow of the game. These are the players who win you the tight games, big pressure games and ultimately premierships. And there is no better player in the game right now, then Jarryd Hayne, who at just 21, quite remarkably has his best footballing days still ahead of him.Hayne is the type of player who other players want to play with. He is the type of player who makes other players look good and helps them to go on to play representative football. Players know when they sign with Parramatta now, they will be coming to a successful club that is going to be there at finals time and where you stand the greatest chance of taking your own game to a new level, and putting yourself into representative calculations.The next piece of the puzzle, and arguably just as important to our future, is coach Daniel Anderson. He may not have won Dally M coach of the year, but the impact and the turnaround he has had on this group of Eels players is second to none, and if the Eels do go all the way, his achievement will be remembered as one of the greatest coaching performances of all time.While there was obviously some issues with some players earlier in the year, the team now obviously has an incredible amount of respect for Anderson and know that if they listen to him, he will get the best football out of them. Again, he is a coach that players will want to come and play for. He appears to leave no stone unturned in preparing and developing his players and he has a proven track record of taking teams all the way.The issue now for the Eels will be to keep juggling their rosters, keeping the right players as ultimately our team goes on to do bigger and better things. When the Dogs won their grand final in 2004, Willie Mason declared that the side wanted to stay together and create a new Bulldogs dynasty, within a couple of years that team had been ripped apart and the wooden spoon had found a new home at Belmore.Paul Osborne, who has exceeded all expectations to date, will have a challenging 12 months next year. He has the likes of Daniel Mortimer, Kris Keating, Feleti Mateo, Krisnan Inu, Fuifui Moimoi, Luke Burt, Eric Grothe and many others off contract. The key to really locking down a dynasty will be to get the halves right. Daniel Anderson will have a bit of room to experiment next year and the likes of Mortimer, Keating, Robson and Humble should all get the opportunity to prove they're up to the job.However, the fact that we have the likes of Nathan Hindmarsh, Justin Poore, Shane Shackleton, Ben Smith and Tim Mannah signed for at least the next few years means we have the basis of a strong pack that can be worked around.Parramatta is now in a position to dominate the next decade.

"You have to hope you get lucky with junior talent in the outside backs otherwise you end up paying overs unfortunately we have not had a good outside back in years come through the systems.
Maybe the best centre is playing 2nd row in juniors has…"

        Phil has a huge interest in tantric sex. He also likes model airplanes and is an American Civil War buff.

  I would never have let that happen. This is in the 1EE hall of fame.

  Don't worry , Super. I have it locked in to bump it when ever moral is down . Just to remind us no matter how poorly things are they could be worse.
  
  You could always feel the disappointment we know Phil feels when he reflects just how positive he was when he wrote the Dynasty blog.

    I should probably forward this to Phil whenever I catch up with him.
