Parramatta Eels legend Ray Price is always worth a phone call, especially if something needs to be said about his beloved old club.
You ring up, turn on the tape recorder … and then let him rip.
On Sunday the old Parramatta warhorse was desperately upset about the team’s capitulation to old rivals Manly when we rang and asked him for his thoughts.
“I’m pissed off,” he says, “They’re playing like busteds.
“It’s really disappointing because I honestly thought we were a hope this year.
“Then you get all these disruptions about the money and their contracts.
“Please. Just play out the year and worry the rest of the stuff in the off-season.”
Price has his thoughts on the leadership of Brad Arthur.
“The coach has got to accept some blame because he’s telling them what to do,” Price said.
“But the players don’t seem to have the confidence in Brad. Are they listening?
“Still, he’s not the one dropping the ball or missing tackles. And he was coaching fine until a few weeks ago.
“I don’t like bagging them but it’s so disappointing and I’m not going to hide my views.”
One thing for sure is that this current Parramatta side is missing the hunger, attitude and determination that Price turned up with every week.
I would put Price in as caretaker coach immediately for 6 weeks and sack BA tomorrow at 9 am. Price and/or Sterling for 6 weeks while things get sorted. Price would have them jumping

It would certainly change my interest in them, can't we throw Brett Kenny in as well! Crow could also come up.
WE will never need a coach again, just a group of errand boys to wheel them onto the field every session.
PS I don't think it's fair on the other teams we play when most of the stands are named after the current Parramatta coaches.
"What people need to keep in mind is the whole draw isn't generated by AI or any other means, certain games such as eels v tigers Easter Monday, Anzac weekend and such are predetermined. There is probably a whole bunch of games and predetermined…"
"Who is not phased? nobody who has an understanding of what he offers, which means it is not the coaches.
Eli republishing this shit is what we have talked about before!"
"Don't get me wrong I want Lomax to stay, but if he wants out "there's the door". Same goes for anyone that doesn't want to be here or can get a better deal elsewhere."

No-one played the game with more heart.
If the current team had 10% of his desire to win we'd be unbeaten and unbeatable
It's patty mills
Amen
Thanks Mutts.
Another bullshit article from Buzz and the Telecrap. It's going to be a very long month and these 2nd rate journos are going to have a field day.
I dont get it. Is Buzz saying Ray Price should be Coach?
