This week is getting more and more depressing with the various and numerous issues facing the club.
Players wanting to leave, players being stood down and countless negative stories on a DAILY basis. It seems every day that goes by the deeper we go in the mire. Backhanders, agents it's becoming super depressing. The -12 points we received is nothing. It doesn't matter if JH returns to the club or not.
We read reports of the police and tax office getting involved. If that is the case, this will drag onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn for ever. When the Storm and the Dogs did what they did punishment was dished out swiftly and they were able to go on with a clean slate. Within a year. For is it seems it will continue for perpetuity. Criminal investigations can take a long time. This means plenty of more spoons for us, but that is the least of our problems.
I have a friend who has a relative who works for the club. I do know some stuff which I promised I wont make public knowledge even anonymously.I wont speak in details but generally. When they contact people telling them they are calling from the Eels they hear LAUGHTER. People and companies are laughing at us!!!! We are the biggest joke in Australia right now. I've also been told that several players WANT OUT the first chance they get!!! The only reason they haven't put requests in to leave is because of BRAD ARTHUR alone!!! They are playing for him. Not Parra. If he goes we are FINISHED.
What has made it worse is the fact that the GO5 dragged their feet instead of copping it sweet, shutting the f*ck up about it and moving on, they forced the NRL to give the media plenty to setup a circus around our once proud club. The GO5 are completely retarded. The NRL had all the hard evidence of their wrong-doing yet they kept on saying "Nah, mate. You're wrong. All is good here". Fecking imbeciles. They honestly need to be strung up and stoned. We are going to need years to be sorted.
PS To support Parra means to suffer.

The gang of 5 and the rest of the current board are a complete fucking disgrace and are the lowest point in the history of the club since 1947 imo.
They have spat in our faces for long enough.
So, I personally find it unfair that this all get pinned on the "gang of five" quite frankly.
You can apportion some level of blame to every director over the past five years if you like.
However, I have said since this blew up, that we are losing 12 points, and we have let the club get to this point because the CURRENT board members, driven by the political faction. chose to take this fight to the NRL.
This board was asked on multiple occasions to "come clean" and never did so. The current board were warned of potential issues multiple times by multiple officials and not only failed to clean up the mess, but made it worse by turning it into a war with the NRL. They passed a resolution to investigate the allegations and it wasn't until Peter Serrao asks in one of the tapes "what happened to the investigation" EIGHT MONTHS later that it's raised again, and then promptly shut down again. The entire board voted to fight until their dying breath and in doing so, cost the clubs hundreds of thousands of dollars.
You watch. Even with three EGM motions, they'll keep fighting. And it's not the GO5 fighting now, it's the Political Four.
They are obviously just fighting for their names now, they don't care about the club, they couldn't, if they did they would have stood aside so we can start rebuilding, they know they are dead in the water next elections so its completely pointless them fighting on, its the saddest thing i think I've ever seen happen to the club, its genuinely sad and its got to the point where the very people voted in to help the club are now destroying it, and the only people who can't see it is them.
Who would employ these people in any job in the future?
Foran to follow in 2018....

Could not agree more Prof. But I'd like to think that most people can see through them.
