A Plea?

With the crap of this last week not subsiding except the DT has today put the eels news on page 5 rather than front or back, I would put a plea to all here who are true eels fans.

We all likely have differences in opinions on several things, but would also have a lot in common or be totally committed to the support of the team & our desire to be #1 again & stay at the top. We have all endured long years without a premiership, many of us longer than others, but we dream on in our desire to be at the top again.

Yet, just as we look to be the goods to really ascend the ladder, it is obvious that elements are working hard against us, we were reminded though by one blog that the club is ours - all of us & thats not individuals.  Personally I feel the most excited I have in years with the coach & team assembled, yet sick to the pit of my stomach at the way the club is run, worse still is the way we are portrayed as a result of that by a media world loving every bit of the misery they are causing by their revelations & distorting of truth, especially with the BA interviews.

Despite our differences in some areas, I would make a plea to all of us & any eels supporter you know to ignore these articles, perhaps even boycott the papers totally, & refuse to have anything to do with them, even on this blog page, lets realise we are into the playing season, & get into supporting those in the team, players, coaches & the like & no longer continue the binkering that has gone on & loved by our opponents.

We are better than that, Surelly!

  • I'm in, and until the NRL hands down a decision - if any, I propose we stop putting up this constant rehashed shit.
    At the moment, it's the disgraceful, back stabbing bunch of khunts, who would prefer the current Eels team to finish last, who are winning.

    #boycott the Telegraph × 1.
    • Hear here!
      Chief that's the best comment I've read in a week here.
      It's a parra supporters website, it's game day and we have the best chance in years to finally have something to cheer about and a very good chance to upset the premiers!
    • I rarely read that shit anyway, except when I 'm having a beer. It's a pro-Liberal, pro-Trump, pro-right wing paper that's not worth wiping my bum cheeks on. It's full horse manure. Wouldn't even use it for composing. Boycott the s h i t paper. DT hates Parra with a passion. I have never read a positive article on Parra. Even when we were on that great run in 09, DT put Parra down. Boycott it!

  • I really wish I could like this twice Colin, good 'onya!

    Just to think this time last week everyone was jumping out of their skins,sometimes ignorance is bliss and that's really one of those times where you really have to let the sht sail past and get on with what what we are all here for. Support the players coach and club who've put an amazing roster together and worked their collective butts off doing so.

    Far as I know, we are as listed to front the Premiers and it's like the first game of the season for us this week.
    Can't wait go the mighty!
  • Well Frankie it's lucky us Parra fans are thick skinned then ain't it?
    Team first and crap a distant second for us :)
  • Nothing galvanises a club like winning . What a perfect time to put together a record sequence of wins.
  • This week has seen brutal media frenzied. Funny seeing Tim Brasher on foxsport , matter of fact announcing 'we must lose points' now. Said with a smile.

    The MOST telling thing is that hitherto, NO official statements, in response, have been made from Boulous ( or Sharp ) or the NRL. Why so ?

    It's disconcerting that there has been hesitation & delayed reaction, suggesting some thought is being put into a measured response.

    No doubt we have issues & our board is under immense political pressure but until all the facts are well & truly clarified, we're being guided by the agendas of those feeding the media & reactive mob mentality.

    Does anyone have an inkling on what is
    happening at Board & NRL level right now ?
    • HOE.  I think I posted other thread.  Sharp is told to go into the background or whatever when he says anything, whilst the others say he should be at a coaches media briefing for the game tonight.  NO win NO draw

  • Agree. The boardroom ranting on here bore's the living shite outta me! Talk footy or dont talk I reckon. It's sad when boardroom discussions dominate a football supporters forum.

  • Fitzegerald's great legacy was to bring us 4 premierships in his early days, then create & buld HIS empire. In his last decade the eels were a media frenzy as they use supporters to create the same slugfest we have now,  WHO & Where is the fellow Named Parramatta or EELS jesus, he was almost a daily name & used in interviews.  He was right though & need of change.

    The change happened when Spags & the black suit brigade was elected.  Me resigned as nothing different. to the previous 10 years & that is their legacy.

    Sharp & the new broom comes in, history will judge them but, at least he in charge we have a team under a good coach that will get better, also new facilities in an old slaughter field distribution centre, at least these are positives but I also think its time for someone independent but eels supporter take over to guide change. 

    These are my only things I wont to say in a negative sense on this thread. 

    Thanks for suppoting it & I hope it keeps going & maybe someone would like to have an online petition for eels supporters.  That is EELS supporters rather than the politics across the car park.  Showing they are behind the eels players & the football staffers, Paid & unpaid.
