Parra fans will only be able to see 1 match next Monday night at Parra due to Holden Cup playing at Guildford on Saturday. This must surely be disappointing to fans. Taking in it will be a long weekend many fans that would normally come may now consider staying at home. Taking that the Bulldogs vs St George game is live at 4pm finishing at 6pm could also keep fans at home.

I think there may be no more than 7000 fans there Monday.

Disappointing Parra

  • Because Under 20s players have commitments mid-week such as study and work. To play in the 20s you must have an apprenticeship, part-time job or be studying a tertiary qualification. 

    • Exactly - and a lot of young people who have jobs tend to work on public holidays. It's only once you get that secure 9 - 5 job, that you actually get public holidays off.

    • and the wenty game ??

      please fans ripped off again

      $25 buck premium seat and 3 games.

  • It was always going to be a poorly attended game. Very out of town club with almost no travelling supporters, Parra at the bottom of the table, Monday night game. I doubt that the NYC playing would have made any difference.
    • I don't exactly turn up to a game because of the Under 20s playing before-hand, I go to games for the NRL side. 

      Given we won our last match and the forecast is set to be clear I think a crowd around 10,000 wouldn't be overly-optimistic.

  • Nth Qld NYC unable to play Mon nights due to work/study/travel commitments so game is rescheduled to Saturday. Tweet from the Eels.

  • It's a public holiday!!!
    Should be just like playing on a Sunday? Don't understand that reasoning.
    • Just because it's a public holiday doesn't mean all businesses shut down.

  • Perhaps they only ever play in Sydney on Saturdays.
    • The reasons thrown up for only having one game on Monday nite sounds logical and could even be seen as reasonable.   Still haven't these guys heard of a sickie?

      In any case, I'm disappointed and can't see value in going to the game as I have to log up a lot of miles on  the M1 to get there. Sweet, i'll investigate the "Seat warmer" option and gain another scarf to add to the collection.

      Hope your view is not spoiled by the "ten gallon" hat on the cowboy sitting in my seat Kegs.

"I respect their opinions Nitram but,to come out and put shit on a player who didn't play in the game is ludicrous. If he had said Junior, JDB or Pezet you could understand."

"Is it MON that needs to change? I mean i know the answer is more likely yes but the fact he has gone for so many big targets and cannot get them is concerning and surely Beach and Saranatinos know that. Surely Ryles sees that."

"The Roosters are amazing. Just ask literally any journalist. My favourite thing to watch next to an Eels victory is a Roosters loss. We know the NRL is biased and the Roosters have scammed the comp for decades. "

"I like the Warriors, if Parra cannot win the comp i would not mind seeing the Warriors. I like Webster, Metcalf, Halasima etc. Plus it is a great story.
Though not 50 it was still a poor performance and not a good look for the predicted minor…"
