I know it's true LB, but I can't figure out why there's so much hatred for Parra. We're not relevant and haven't been for a very long time, I'm surprised we register any feeling at all, let alone hate.
I hate the Storm, probably due to their endless success and dubious tactics over many years, not to even mention the straight-up cheating and the 09 GF.
What has Parra done to warrant the hatred from other fans? Am I being naive here? what am I missing?
Maybe once Finny, but the 80's fans are dying and trying. ......Parramatta is a working class suburb/city and they lost their way as a football team from the 90's onwards.....you can never take your eye off the ball and Parra has suffered from that over a long period of time.
I wouldn't say that Poppa. Parra still has a massive fan base, and in the Greater Parramatta area is the only team to follow. Imagine how massive the club could be if we are successful! We also have fans scattered all over the place - they are everywhere.
Well the premiership drought is a start, many want them to stay that way to have a joke to tell. I hate Wests yet many feel sorry for them. Many wont feel for us.
I have said this before, but when Parra made 2022 GF one mate said to me "I hope they lose as it means i can't make jokes anymore".
I also had people say they hate Moses and Gutho as they carry on. But the hatred goes further back than that.
Exactly the only thing I hear is Parradontmatter I don't even get the Parramatta Eels.We are such an inconsequential club at this point in time we definitely don't deserve the hate.
"You attract players by not finishing in the bottom 4 every year. If we had 6 players playing origin and finished last year after year , would we be more attractive than a team with no Origin players finishing 4th ?
"I'd hardly say he was much better this year after staring in origin and playing for Australia . His return game was very positive k and it went backwards from there . You may argue he was injured ( the go to for any eels player playing below par )…"

Yes the ones that pick the right wing off anything that flies!

I can't work it out either. Probably because every second person in Sydney is an Eels fan.

This doesn't bode well for us at all.
Those two are a fucked up combination honestly. Raiders will run a train on us.
