regardless of all the frustrating rants on our club's under performing seasons I too would like to express my frustrating opinion not only for myself but also to all our aging supporters and members who are well into their twilight years some with possibly ongoing medical issues. before we move on there would be no greater glory and satisfaction to be part of and witness parramatta again winning a premiership , to allow this to happen soon rather than later is to bite the bullet and to replace the current yes , coach and to do whatever it takes to snare Bennett and then let things pan out for both playing stocks and the office, no ifs or buts , a overhaul , rebuild is definitely on the cards , hopefully we unearth a couple of speedsters or another Hayne but for now today not tomorrow I think Bennett is our most promising outlook. bless parra & bless the eelers .

Could not of been said better christeel.....as I head to my middle 50s ...lol
A new coach is only a short term, or bandaid solution. The board needs to open their eyes, and the cheque book, plus put people in place with football nous, people like Gould, Ponissi etc. People have to understand, when Bennett starts with a club, he brings his own assistants, coaches, trainers etc, and I think this is why our board are reluctant to hire him. I feel sorry for BA in some respects, many say this is his team, but it is not, this is a team that the board allowed BA to have. Do you really think the board would allow Bennett an open cheque book to buy the players he could turn this team into a premiership team, I don't think so, they haven't allowed BA to do so.
BA got exactly what he wanted.
He wanted a forward stacked roster and that's what he got.
That's bullshit. BA has been wanting an 'x' factor type player for 18mths. BA wanted JAC at the start of the year, JAC wanted to come here, the board would only offer him $450k, he's on a bit more at the Dogs. We tried for Blake Wilson, same story, and there have been others. We lost Mahoney and Ice, board decisions, not BA's. I want BA gone as much as everyone else, but to say it's totally his preferred team is BS.
Sorry to say this christeel but the board and club couldn't give an F about the old fans. They know they are diehards no matter the results
They are only concerned about their own interests and looking good. They could care less about on field results and that's why they keep on extending the gift that keeps on giving.
Longest serving Parra coach and fast becoming one of the most despised ones.
Very good post Christeel.
I'm nearly 50 with failing health and am desperate to see them win one more before my time is up.
I lost my brother to cancer last year and he was one of the biggest Eels supporters I know. One of the last things he said before he passed was he hopes all Parra supporters get to see one more before they go.
I guess this is one of the main reasons I am so fed up with Parra at the moment.
That hits so hard BEM. Sorry for your loss mate.
Hopefully the changes that are required are made for the benefit of the fans and this club can finally deliver a premiership for the long suffering fans.
Cheers Frank. Means a lot mate.
damn ! sad to hear about your brother bem , the die hard eel supporter he was . .... no doubt you keep the parra's colours flying. special moments.
Thanks heaps Christeel.
