        • Yeah fair point, though i more so i don't think Parra would feel the need to. What it will do is just make it a slinging match. It might get to a point eventually where it might be needed if fans mutiny against them in support of Adam and Talkin' Parra. He might not be as powerful as he thinks as the people in line with the club who i know that know him mention he is not as well liked with staff and players as he may think. 

          His ego seemed to be at a high. He will keep going, and that is why i mentioned it might get to a point where they need to do a statement, but until then they have done what they have done. As contractually obligated to do, i think they would have some significant evidence to do so and would have had some over time. Doubt this was a quick, reactionary decision.

          You are right though, if this is all BS on his side it is not fair the club is dragged through the mud. But at the same time, his outlet though an ok size considering the target audience, it might not even make as big of a dint as many on the other side think it will make.

      • Sorry LB, I don't follow TCT that closely, are you saying they lost privileges to attend training.

        • I'm not sure how much but at the time when Talkin Parra did I swear I read a post from TCT saying they did, as i remember thinking "oh so they are not just targeting Talkin Parra it's everyone". And TCT just said they will do best they can to do training. Now whether that still stands remains to be seen. Maybe they have tiny bit of access at Kellyville but not as much as before.

          60's did say in posts he spoke to Sam Moa and Scott Wisemental etc. so maybe passing by or can watch training but that's it.

          • I think you may have misinterpreted 60's post LB. Anyone can watch training from the cafe balcony. There are NO TCT access restrictions, only 60's own policy on reports, which is not to disclose that information that he feels is sensitive/confidential and best not shared. He doesn't do training reports that are specific training for an opponent, which is why he only does the preseason training and the reports stop at that time.

             

              • TCT has no additional access to club facilities than anyone else. They do have relationships with people at the club but they're not walking the halls of the CoE whenever they want.

                If they're interviewing someone at the CoE it's usually because that person was already going to be there anyway. They have the space and it's better than finding a studio or doing it online.

                TCT's relationships didn't so much as form out of the fact they have a platform, they formed because Craig is there regularly and will happily talk to anyone. Case in point, they have maintained contact with Bernie Gurr long after he's left his post at Parra.

                The arrangements with the Leagues Club are mostly separate to the football club. It's a benefit to both the leagues club and TCT. The leagues club get an event that does draw fans in to spend money and TCT get content.

                • Im not criticising them, as I for one enjoy listening to their interviews with club staff ect i was just answering the above question to the best of my ability 

                  I deleted my above comments as whilst I stand by my comments,  im not here to crisis people on a daily basis.   I just want what's best for the club success wise. Like everyone else,  all wed like to know is,  what's going on with recruitment and retention.   Why aren't guys like Sam Tuivaiti signed long term, why are Parramatta falling behind in the recruitment areas??  Why are we continually losing our best jnrs ?? Why do we now have a bottom 3 roster with those managing that roster being at the club for nearly a decade. 

                  I for one don't like panic signings as they can damage the cap, but what's happening to Parramatta???

                   

                  • I liked his pod cast, this club needs to lift. We all agree on that. 

            • Ah yeah, I more likely did. Thanks for the clarification PT.

  • He commented that Jim came up to him and he didn't want to talk to Jim. Talk about being about your own self importance.

    • Jim never came up2 him. He went up2 Jim and drained him of time and energy to talk to any1 else.
