1999 Magpies>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2018 Eels.

Posted by Alan Hunt on July 13, 2018 at 10:12pm

I thought the Magpies were the worst side I have ever seen, move over Tommy and Wests because BA the bush bum and his boys have you beat.

This team is an embarrassing disgrace, if this bloke still has a job on Monday the whole club should be firebombed.

    Absouloutly al. It's absolute torture to the paying members.
    It's a pathetic result and there's absolutely no excuses into why Parramatta are in this position

    Arthur will keep his job this club thrives on failure.More of the same in 2019

    Sorry Al, can't agree. Yes we are bad. But not 1998-1999 Wests bad.
    • Alan Hunt > iamnot July 13, 2018 at 10:36pm

      Wests were almost broke and couldn't pay their players, and who knows how far less they were spending than the other teams back then.  What is our excuse for being this bad???? People bagged Kearney and Stuart but they didn't have teams with half the talent that this one did.    Kearney was handed a truly terrible team in 2011 and he was gone in less than two years.  BA has been here for 5 years WTF is his excuse for a team that looks and plays as bad as our one????

      Al, for starters there was no salary cap in 1998-1999. The gulf between the haves, and the have nots was huge. I'm not defending the coach here, but we are not as bad as Wests in that era. The difference between 1st and last now is much closer

        The salary cap was introduced in 1990, I agree with you that the west side In 99 was a worse roster than what we have now which indicates how badly we are currently being coached.

        • iamnot > HKF July 14, 2018 at 7:27am

          Mate, salary cap was scrapped when Super League came along in 1996. Wasn't reintroduced until 2000. Remember how we were able to sign 6 internationals in one season in 1996? By 2000 we had to start letting some go to get under the cap (McCracken comes to mind)

            Oh yeah, I forgot about super league.

    He won’t get sacked.

      he has to be.
