Fuck no! Please ask whatever deity you pray to for Parra to have some balls and get rid of that bloke. What qualifications does he have besides being an ex player and a shit coach.
We need to move on from the old boys mentality and just hire the best people.
Not bad he's done well with the coaching gig this year

Not really because the role is fairly undeveloped in the industry. Football department GM's are a relatively new thing in the NRL. There aren't a huge pool of young candidates to choose from. Unless the club goes and gets an established name like Frank Ponissi, I don't expect O'Neill's replacement to be particularly well known. The club might even appoint an interim GM like Nathan Brown to get us through the off season before looking for a long term replacement.

Why is this not understood amongst fans.
Theres bugger all good football GMs in the NRL.
Its such an important role I don't think alot realise.
Why is Marl O'Neil still running Parra when he has clearly shown intrest in taking the Tigers job he could be undermining our junior ranks as we speak the board should get rid of him straight up
"This is why the players don't want anymore expansion for now, they feel like there is too much roster churn for all the teams, they haven't had a chance to really build a team culture. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if we handed back our license.…"
"That is what I thought Coryn. Last night their defence was something an Eels fan could but dream of and their attack? So well drilled, everyone knows his role and just does his job. Benchmark for sure. They will not beat themselves, it will take…"
"Did any of those sides play 4 GF's in a row? If they win the GF for 3 in a row, in the era of salary caps, come on, very hard to objectively argue against their greatness. "

Who replaces him?
Thank that mythical character God.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Now, will the club look for a top notch replacement or go with their usual ethos of anyone cheap will do.
