Mannah has been promoted ..

Was just about to book an Interstate flight for Snake's Friday 3pm protest Mannah March, when a light bulb moment happened. I thought, hang on, hang on..If Foran was made the on-field captain, with Mannah the club captain, it's actually a promotion for Mannah.Foran would be the on-field leader, the platoon captain, getting his hands dirty at the trenches , yes - but Mannah the club captain the leader of all platoons, a pseudo Colonel - the leader's leader.It's almost like club saying to Mannah, as the current contemporary most-capped & experienced Eel we value you too much (& you're not getting younger) to dilute your leadership values & burn you out so you are now the leader's leader, of Foran one of the most revered players in the game. Maybe it's no coincidence that Mannah's new Romper Stomper like look reflects this higher level of focus & responsibility. The new age Guru-like cult figure sharing his wisdom. The next stage in evolution.So guys, armed with Pots & pans, Webers & banners, instead of raising them in anger & indignation, raise them in glory & celebration, chanting so they know the entire Eels army is ONE, behind them & RECLAIM our rightful position at the top that We've waited forever for !We have a team to be proud of & Go you Eels !

  • So... Wait... Should I cancel the printing of the banners and the giant foam eyebrows? I spent all morning polishing my pitchfork.
  • Jezuz, Captain you are organised. Already done ?

    The pitchfork. Great idea. Essential , It would get a very strong message across.

    Raising the pitchfork , in salute, howling unrestrainedly in celebration.

    Signifying unspoken words.. 'We are ready for War & the army is behind you' ..
  • As the soon to be appointed leader's leader, Mannah becomes the new sage.
  • Bugger you all! I'm going to the protest march this Friday, the paint is drying on my sign as I type.

                                         'This is not gonna happ'n

                                         Make Snake the captain!'

  • This is perfect!!!
    I never liked Mannah as on field captain. He doesn't fill the players minds with a true belief that they can win clutch games that go down to the wire. Because he's not a super star and hasn't got the resume behind him. Foran on the other hand ticks all the boxes to make the players truly believe in what he's telling them to do.

    Mannah was only ever a captain for to the safety of his personality, he was never gonna make the club look bad, he sets a good level headed culture tone for the club. To lead by example on and off the field personality wise, dicipline wise and for that he's done a great job. But now we need more than that.
    Foran is that next level, who provides all that mannah used to provide for us and more!

    Mannahs perfect role is to be te fave of the club over all. The spokes person for the club in general.
    Overall club leader but
    Second in charge to Foran on field due to Forans resume, superior on field leadership and ability to create belief lead the eels to victory from the jaws of defeat.

    I think this is the perfect shuffle for parramatta. We are well organised now. Plus, Foran as on field captain, Spearheading the eels on field image will surely make the eels more attractive to free agents in 2017.

    Ppl want to come to play under Foran, Not mannah.

    Ppl want to come to a club that looks like it has stability, and mannah is a great piece for club stability image. He is a good person, loyal, has a level head, would never put the club in jeapordy and will hopefully one day be a board member.
  • Arseless chaps and vest go back into the wardrobe .....
  • I've a dummy of Steve Sharp (without the E) ready to burn, does that mean I have to refold him up again and shove him under my bed?

    • Haha, Monster.

      Bring Inflatable Steve, doing the war cry , uncontrollably, with him on your shoulders..
  • Hey HOE, could you please pass on my apologies to Snake (the protest blogs closed).
    Just let him know I'm busy organising my own army of one protest on NRL HQ on Friday night.
    Unless there's any other tuck shop helpers out there who'd like to join me... He'll understand.
    • Mac, its been years since I've been on tuck shop duty. Wouldn't have a clue were to begin..

      If I recognise Snake (probably the guy near the Weber with Spring rolls) I'll pass it on. Being European, Two kisses on the cheek.
