  Some of what he says is true BUT..... Our club has the second biggest membership of any Sydney team, way more than the Penrith Bogans. It appears that from many quarters, there is a MASSIVE fear of Parra. You can hear it in Gus' voice. If this mob get their shit together, we're all fucked. Then, when our club is in total disarray, our boys go out and beat a worthy top 8 side. Try being Manly or Newcastle who keep falling further and further behind. It serves rugby league supporters for Parra to be a mess cos God forbid if we get our shit together everyone plays for runners up

  I hate to say it because he can be bias and the channel 9 commentary is horrible now but i admire his passion to a degree. We need someone similiar to a former player like Gus who is passionate about league being a working class game, acknowledges the western suburbs areas and has business skills as well knowing the game. Dave Smith is a businessman who doesn't know the fabric of the game.

  Frankie, what are your thoughts on privatisation? Surely if a group of people were employed to run the club, and therefore held accountable if they fail would be the ideal way too fix the joint. Having the entire club and decisions made by a group that got voted in because they were more appealing than the people running against them has proven not to work ( at our club anyway). Sometimes, over the past 10 years or so, it seems people have been sacked in spite of former board members, whether they were doing a good job or not.
  
  If Parra was to be privatised, what would the cost be? I feel, if done correctly, Parramatta could one day become a profitable organisation. The fan base, the brand it self and the sponsorship opportunities for a successful team on the park would be endless.
  
  Parramatta is Rugby League. Parramatta sells papers ( good or bad ). Parramatta provides bums on seats and TV ratings. Parramatta produce more 1st graders than most or all other clubs.
  
  So with all this upside, wtf is going wrong?

  After the Jackson tackle, was Soward taken off for concussion?
