Just what is this curse hanging over the heads of the Parramatta Eels?
How many star coaches have failed miserably? How many star players come here as saviors only to hit their career lows?
I have thought for quite a few years that they may be cursed. Finally I'm gonna say it. Is it because James Hardie was the eels sponsor during their glory days? Everytime I look at those 80's jerseys and see Hardiflex I think of all the people that died from asbestos poisoning and of how Hardie tried everything not to compensate the poor pricks. Most people think curses don't exist, but I'm not so sure. The constant failure defies all logic given the development programs, a strong club and passionate players and fans. How many times have we seen articles like this weeks when players rally around a star player who is out of form, "He's not the only player out there not putting in". How many times have we read this!?

Thats it I am not wearing my old shirt with the Hardie logo anymore!
I'm onto it!!
We need to smudge the ground and the club with ALL board members coaches and players with white sage to cleanse the negative energy. It could help if we smudge the fans as well.
Weren't they the sponsors of the Storm during their cheating days?
Bloody Suzuki and Storm. Stop trying to ruin my life!
Didn't we win four premierships when they sponsored us? Not much curse there.
GOT HIM, YES........
Yeah Parranoid that's the point, we won four premierships with blood money sponsorship. It's sweet but, I just made a pact with the football Gods to get a bung on with a virgin in their honor and they will remove the curse.
hope that works!!
do you know i wondered whether there was a hardies curse too, i don't think it is too far out of the realm when you consider the travesty it was , so I will go with the smudging as well. Maybe our next sponsor should be the catholic church or better yet Hopoates Mormons!!
Maybe we have a Dux Hot Water curse where hopefully SK's shower runs cold repeatedly after a loss OR maybe the Aboriginal fella with the spear from our old logo pointed the bone at us back in 1976 when Neville fluffed the try OR Denis Fitzgerald deleted the folder "How to Win a Premiership Without Even Trying" from the S drive.
