Yep. Fitzy had no real interest in the on-field performance of the club. He fell into what was the Secretary role in the late 70s and was gifted a once in a generation crop of juniors coming through the ranks. He did nothing to ensure ongoing success and held onto players way too long.
Brett Kenny is scathing of the club in his book for not signing Gene Miles in 1985 when he was desperate to come to Parramatta. Instead they stuck with Cronin who was never going to last too much longer. Sterling and Kenny played two seasons too long on massive coin. These, amongst other decisions like handing head coachig roles to Cronin and Hilditch resulted in some lean years from 1987-1996.
Brett Kenny would be scathing of his own mother for giving birth to him on a day that he didn't like the temperature.

But was he wrong? Miles, who was the then Queensland and Australian centre was prepared to sign for Parra for bugger all. Yet Fitzy said 'no thanks', we've got our 34 year old centre in Cronin.
A mate of mine took an old shield for an aged effect, painted this and gifted it to me today. A great memory from a great time in Eels history. Thought I would share.
"He has also said in the past that he wanted to play Five-Eighth.Zac isnt a bad human, he seems impulsive but he puts his body on the line when he suits up, very unique situation indeed.I really hope he plays in the NRL again as I hold no anomosity…"
"I've got a Master's degree and, while it might have increased my value as an employee, I know it means fuck all with respect to my worth as a human being. It is privilege dressed up as virtue, and I should have no special authority to tell people…"

Have a look at the name of the original poster
So basically what is Hadley saying about Brad Arthur?
Same thing you say about BA lol
I love BA. He turns me on
Hadley = Fitzy
Fitzy = Believes he should be running the club.
It's not hard to connect the dots.
Bring back Fitzy.
If you're old enough to remember those dark years, I would suggest you have a rethink!!
