Board steps down we lose 2 points or stays we lose 10!

I have to admit I didn't hear the journo on the radio this morning but can we just clarify what was said. I was told its being stated that Parramatta will stand to lose 2 points if our current board steps down. If they choose not to we will lose up to 10 points as the NRL wants it cleaned up.

Is this what was said?

Do you believe they could actually stay if given this choice?

I believe Parramatta have a side good enough to challenge for the Premiership this year. If we lose 2 points I believe we can still win the comp. 10 points and they might as well go on holidays from now. I also think it will affect our player retention and recruitment if we lose 10!

  • The points wont affect r and r but the salary cap mess will and has ,cant finalise norman etc and check how many coming off contract this season ,god you live in a dream world brett ,off course there has to be board changes,,whats your solution close your eyes and pretend nothings happening.
    • Hey Roger,

      Do you ever give it a rest. You are one annoying mofo.

      Just read a blog without trying to be the judge and jury.

      While im at it. Who give a rats what you think you know, as far as I am concerned you are nuffy pretending to be someone. Take a spell and let people talk without your expert opinion.

  • Shit is way too good.
  • To start with the NRL cannot force the board to stand down as I understand it.

    BUT - 

    if the board does stand down then that will be the end of the team - Arthur will be out of a job - Foran is supposed to have a get out clause in his contract if Brad goes - we would lose Norman and several others.

    But radio commentators and media farts are not known for any form of truth or accuracy in their ramblings - just another beat up imo.

    • Why would Brad Arthur be out of a job?
    • Col theres no way BA will be out of a job if the board is forced to stand down.

  • I think the NRL is overreacting.. I hope they have some solid legal advice.
    The eels could tie the NRL up in the courts for years and that will be something the NRL / FOX etc will definitely want to avoid.
  • The NRL wouldn't have fed this information, their proposed punishment, to some radio journo.

    If someone in the NRL is actually leaking such information, or more likely making it up, the NRL has way bigger problems than Parra.

    Best to just wait and see what actually transpires I reckon.

  • 4) refer to point 1

  • Let's just say the nrl were to take over the club. What would that mean exactly? How much power would the nrl have? We all know the nrl is in favour of reducing the number of Sydney based clubs, they even pushed for us to merge with the tigers if people recall and the former administration hinted that they agreed with the nrl. Would the nrl have the power to enforce that? It appears now that the current boards position is untenable and they will have to step down I acknowledge that. What I'm not hearing is a viable alternative to this board. Former board members? I don't think so. The nrl? What are the possible consequences of that? These are questions us fans deserve an answer to. I'm no expert in these matters, far from it, but the questions I ask are simple ones.
