  @riddell009 Mark, what are you going to put into place? It seems like all you're doing atm is bagging what the current board are doing

     @riddell009 what business acumen do you bring to the table to reach a better profit?
  2. Apr 29: 

     He says that the Eels won't be around for another 5 years in 2008, what makes people think he will do the job now? #ParramattaProfessionals
  3. Apr 29: 

     For the years that Denis Fitzgerald was in charge the team trained on a shortened version of a footy field, why? #ParramattaProfessionals
  4. Apr 29: 

     For the first time ever the Vikings club made a profit, this has not happened under any other board @ParraFirst

  Apr 29: 

  The only way to make sure that Brad Arthur continues with the Eels is by voting for @ParraFirst

  There're a number of tweets I could have been blocked for #PigBlocked

  Someone asked him about him turning up drunk to training one time and he said that it was a long time ago and that it should be forgotten.

  I can understand why Mark Riddell would run. He's been asked to be on a ticket. That would be flattering. Also, there is prestige and a few perks with being on the board. But it's bloody hard work. I get why he's throwing his hat in the ring.

  That said, I'm not happy with any candidates who bad-mouth other candidates or the Club. Play the ball, not the man. You've gotta be better than that if you want my vote. I judge your conduct during the election as a reflection of what you'll do in the job.  Don't get on Twitter and sling mud at the very place you want to run.

  That also shows me that you can't play well with others. It's a seven person board. You gotta work with six other people and you need to make it work. If he thinks that Fitzy mob will grab all seven seats he is misinformed. If you're running around social media claiming the club doesn't treat people with respect you're embarrassing the club. I want people that will hold the club in high esteem and not tarnish it's name for personal gain. 

  It's a crap look if you're retweeting from 'NRL Gossip' and a claim that 'U know they are in trouble when they do this to one of their own!' I'd like to know who 'THEY' are? Is it the Club or the Board or Sharp's ticket? 

  I'm a cranky bugger today.

  In many ways I feel for the former players who get pulled onto these tickets. Those behind the scenes are doing so, only as a way to pull votes and with no regard to the tarnishing of whatever legacy they left behind as a player. There is certainly a perception that you win Parramatta elections on the strength of whatever former players you have backing you. I hope with all my heart that this is the election we grow up as a club and do whats right and not out of some emotive loyalty to those that served us proudly but in a totally different and unrelated capacity.
  I think its telling that from day dot Parrafirst was organically led by Steve Sharp and that hes not just been a pawn pulled in to play a role and win some votes.
