Talagi why is he going and not staying....regardless of his ability.
Ok he is going to Penrith, why choose Penrith over Parra. Simple logic if you take away the spirit of the jersey. Why is that?
Penrith will be successful on an ongoing basis because they are planning forward the whole time….. let’s understand why the agent, regardless of his name chose Penrith.
Face it, he gets a percentage but presumably prioritises his view to Penrith because of opportunity…..is there a way of ensuring no kickbacks take place? His percentage is to the highest bidder, unless there are other incentives he can only be doing the right thing by his client.
Parra is not easy to sell on its record, it has ongoing issues with regard to forward planning that is historical.
The problem this time around (38 years later) has again been an inability to plan forward in “football player, coaching and development”. Centres of Excellence, New Football stadiums have all come along, material things have not been an obstacle (accept maybe TPA's). All that and they ( “football player, coaching and development) have gone elsewhere!
We need some dynamic planning and Ryles is first hitter up. That said unless he gets the right support from the front office then he is doomed, you could say set up to fail! Wow who would do that you ask?…..well no one deliberately but failure to plan leads to further failure.
Mark O’Neil needs to go for all the reasons of credibility and hindsight. MON maybe a victim but it’s too late for him (bite the bullet now Jim).
Jim Saratinos needs to start communicating, at least selectively to a public needing to know what is happening. If it’s not a skill, bring someone in that can confirm and deny some happenings to keep abreast of our constant PR failings. The media are inventing their own stories on Parra because they get no information. How often do we read “bullshit”. Whats worse is people on this site believe it
We have all been impressed what a tight ship Parra has kept at a public level, but it has gone too far, Public Relations is so important with any front-line operation, and they have let themselves down in that respect.
In saying that about MON we need to replace him with a visionary. That may not be a Brian Smith but it needs to be someone with true sports management ability, the right person was someone like Cheika or McDermott with say Ryles taking on an a coaching role under a genuine Leader/General Manager Football who Ryles could/can report and communicate his needs through, someone closer to the action, who can convince the board to step in time and not outside the mainstream of their existence.

There's no way MON survives the pressure being applied to the club at present.
As I said with BA the board will offer a sacrifice before being sacrificed themselves.
Brian Smith getting involved with the club would appease the fans and relieve the media pressure.
Parramatta are a reactive club by nature, Smith by nature is proactive.
The eels should put all this in there upcoming business plan
Thanks Bup and yes Gym it is material for a business plan, but in the current circumstances it probably needs to prempt the plan.
Well said Poppa btw how many aliases do you have?
None Mick and I will swear that on my grandchildrens lives.
Many years ago I used CROW for about 3 weeks and on a few occasions when suspended used my wife's account to lurk.
You guys dont understand me, I have no interest in pleasing people for the sake of it and I like to take and give the piss. I see no rationale reason to have an alias. I also post on TCT but that is my limit for social media, not even on Facebook.
Why do you ask Mick?
Just curiosity
Leave Mrs Pops out of this lol
