Not the Match Day Blog - Round 21

Posted by sixtiesboy on August 2, 2015 at 2:38pm
With tongue firmly planted in cheek, and because it's rarely a slow news week with Parra. Here we go:* Wenty gets a tough introduction to the NRLAfter waiting since 1967 for their inclusion into the top tier, the Magpies put up a brave showing against the North Queensland Cowboys. Wearing the jerseys of their venture partner, Parramatta, the class of the Cowboys overwhelmed Wenty in the last 20 minutes. With Parramatta's playing stocks now depleted through 44 being unavailable through injury or ESL holidays, the Magpies have a tough task ahead. Parramatta are expected to return to the NRL in 2016.* Team Photo Shoot DayRumours abound that Manu Ma'u was spotted smiling during the team photo shoot. Detailed examination of footage taken on the day has quashed those stories. (Check the gallery for yourself. Gotta love this bloke!)* Territory Promotion Heats UpWith one week left till the Eels hit the territory, the Eels marketing department has gone into overdrive. Expect "Product Mania" to run wild over the Top End throughout August.* A New Captain?In an incredible revelation, it appears that a premiership winning five eighth will call the shots for a team. Next!* Hoppa Hopping Mad?Just take what you're offered Will. You've been looked after for 4 years now. (Sorry - I had to get real with this one)I'll be at the club watching the Titan's game. Go you Eels.

    Eels recruitment staff scared to turn their backs on Hoppa after his lawyer told them where they could shove their new contract.

      Is it a good move to play out contract stuff in the media? For any of the parties?

      That can be another blog Sixties.

      Imagine the spectacle of the stars all lined up signing contracts at a public event, with a handshake photo opportunity with the salary cap auditor.

    It will be interesting to see what happens with hoppa, round 21 has been and interesting round. Couple of upsets. I hope we can keep ourselves of the bottom of the ladder.

      Of course the Titans halves are back together for our match. This is a tough ask, despite the Titan's table position.

      Maybe Parody has film of that! Thanks Captain. This blog is coming out earlier and earlier and my content is dropping. Struggling to find humour amongst the pain!

    Did anyone else check out Manu in the team photos. Everyone laughing and Manu with game face on. Good stuff.

    Maybe that can be done for all of the clubs, with contracts made public in front of a live TV audience. Deal or no deal?

      maybe the signings can be done the same way that wrestlers sign their title matches!!!

      Big crowds, tension, suspense, the stand off ......

      Maybe clubs could sell these as a "pay per view" event !!

      Love to see something like this -

"Super, well said. As Captain noted he probably needed to rethink his "Offical (sic) Statement". It wasn't his best work, and he didn't run it through a spell check."

Melb threw it up as a last roll of the dice. We went to Matto (mgmt) with their offer. He said 2yrs guaranteed or no dice. Melb then said - no deal."
