I don't know if that has been blogged but if it upsets you then don't read it it's that simple.
I need to have a rant. The Eels are winning,I'm so happy.
But instead of just being able to be happy there is an endless tirade of speculation about our club. With people who know absolutely nothing about the facts saying that Parramatta needs to be stripped of enough points so we don't make the semis.
I'm sorry, It's not bad enough that the last grand final that we made was won by a side that was stripped of it's premiership.That was cheating, our guys were just dumb.
It's not bad enough that us fans have had to endure some of the worst results of any club in recent history. Harrowing close loss after harrowing dissapointment.
Now we seem to have a side that can hold it's own and we are going to be punished for what happened 2 or three seasons ago. The NRL already looked into these matters and gave us a suspended four points penalty pending a review. Why wasn't any of the problems identified in that review.
Paul Gallen coming out and saying that we should be stripped of enough points so we don't make the eight.
I'm sorry why should we be listening to the opinion of a current player who's team is sitting in fourth. Who has a vested interest in the Eels not making the 8 when we all know that they did deals and should have been banned for drug use.
John Quale, the ultimate Manly lover saying we should lose points and the current board should be sacked.
If the NRL findings indicate that this should happen then it should.
I do not think current players who have a voice in the media should be able to come out and say things about another club like we should be stripped of points.
Just take another pill and get ready for state of origin. No wonder why NSW can't win a game.
Too many players trying to get there media careers off the ground.
Anyway I love our team and I love our current crop of players, what a shame that somebody who plays the game can't realise that it's not the players and the fans fault that this has happened.
Everybody just wants to serve their own agenda and if enough people say the same thing then apparantly it means it's true.
All all new low in journalism and ethics.
Go Eels. I love you all. We will overcome the lies and rub their dirty filthy lying faces in it.
I'm out

I understand your frustrations mate but ive the same message to everybody whinging about the media, STOP READING THEIR SHIT, STOP LETTING IT UPSET YOU.
I didnt see eels fans complaining about the media in all the fiascos that have happened to other club over the years.
Stop validating what they are saying by getting all upset with it, people getting hysterical about it is exactly what they want, it gives it more legs.
But fair rant, a rants always good to get things off the chest
* Watmough's third party deal with alledged club affiliate Black Citris/Scorecube.
* Hayne's extra payments
* Lussicks alledged deal in the purchase of an apartment - were all deemed to have the Eels rorting the system by the media hyperbole types, but the NRL'S extensive search dismissed the findings in February.
For mine, there's not enough evidence in the current issues to warrant any points suspension.
I hope so Chief. The media love a bandwagon and hopefully we can trust the NRL with their new CEO to have a tranparant investigation that relies only on evidence and not the created hysteria by those who pretend to know but know nothing.
