Nice at least it ain't Melbourne. Will be hard for Melbourne with a new coach, going over there for first pre-season.
You know something we don't re Bellamy? We may have heard the same LB.
Not really need to hear anything, when Slater interviewed him before the game last week he was on the verge of breaking down. His illness is probably much worse then he's letting on.
Sorry wasn't Slater, it was Cronk.
I think it's pretty much known that this will be Bellamy's last year. His illness is fine and they said he will be fine for immediate future but come this time next year who knows his condition? Worst thing he would want to do is stay and have to leave mid year.
“There’s no better time for the Parramatta Eels to head to Las Vegas, and we’re ready to showcase our Club to the world,” said Sarantinos.
Is the Club delusional, do they really not understand how bad we are as a playing group. "Theres no better time" . mmmmmm how about a time when we have more talent in the team, or we are having a winning season. I hope that statement is more about hype then reality and fact. And they are working overtime in the background .If not we are in a worse position then we feared. Imagine going to Vegas to soak up the game and the Titans put another 50 on us.
It's hype. The Eels had been putting this off until they virtually had no choice. Commercially, it'll be big for the club.
Why is it big commercially? surely we make more $ from a home game. Where does the money come from. Or do the gambling interests that support this whole Vegas boondoggle just cut us a participation cheque for helping with their marketing.
Call it hype all you want but it's a club statement nontheless & I will absolutely hold it against Jim. It's poor form and an epic failure to read the room.

Wow...that is a seriously tone-deaf statement thaat lands on every fan like a slap in the face. I'm embarrassed for him & for us. Is he saying that things are only going to get worse so let's just do this now? Or does he really believe his own glib marketing. Believing you're own press releases is a basic-bitch delusion but easy to do when you have no answers.
He would have been way better off saying nothing...he looks like a fool who just punched himself in the nuts for no reason
