I believe his family haven't been impressed with how the club dealt with his older brothers neck injury, which if it's true is poor from the clubs point
His brother injured himself playing SoO, and the club even went to the lengths of exploring paying extra for insurance cover but it was too risky. A bad tackle and he would have no blood going to his brain.
Any suggestion that the family is upset with Parra is baseless.
I reckon TuiKblahblah needs to just show why he was given a shot at FG and I don't care what he does next year. Next year is next year and what the Eels need in 2020 is some cover at prop so that come finals time Paulo, RCG and Evans will have the juice to play 3-4 games at full pelt.
If UtiiKblahblah helps get the Eels through the next 3-4 months to a GF victory, even at the Tigers he will still have my gratitude.
By rights BA didn't need to put him on, the game was in the balance and he took a winger off just so he could run on and get a carry, BA did him a favour.
There's been plenty of blokes sit the whole game on the bench, in Origins and finals, it's not that a big deal
"What if the NRL set up a system where players who are locally developed and make it to 1st grade, those players are exempt from the cap? That would force clubs to develop more from within rather than poach from other clubs. Just a thought."
"Get him to work with Justin Hodges and pick his brain about dummy half running.
If we're not buying any go forward for 26 our back 5 have to pull their finger out and make 700 metres collectively a game.
Get fitter , get faster , get stronger , get…"
"I love that a few of our players have worked with speed coaches this off season. Just saw W Penisini working on his acceleration with the same bloke that has been working with Liam Martin. Williams, Simmo and Moretti worked with R Fabri too."

Maybe he needs a bit more than 15 seconds of game time to show what he's got?
Thats a very solid point.
More game time with his mates makes the equation more complex. The brother stuff has long been sorted and settled with NSW League.
