Sorting through the garbage and staying strong

Just wanting to add my obligatory "5 cents" to everything that has been swirling around and try to round some of this up in a (hopefully) short summation.

YES, there was a blundering with the Foran contract. Let's not shy away from that. But let's foc

Eels to make the 8

With everything being written and said about the Eels one would think the season is a write off already. Despite missing opportunities in so many games this year we are just 4 points out of the 8 and playing some of the best attacking footy we have p

Quick Hello

Kieran Foran saga set to drag on into next week

The speculation over Kieran Foran's future is set to drag on, with the Manly five-eighth not expected to make a decision about whether to honour his $4.8 million, four-year deal with Parramatta until next week.

The indecision by the New Zealand vice-c

Will Parra be able to sue certain people for defamination.??

I just want to see if anyone knows because people in fhe media are stating some truth but also alot of false and damaging claims like Foran and his Manager looking at suing parra and using this in there headline but in the same artical it is written

Reality check, you might need one too?

With all the constant and relentless news, rumours, innuendo and opinions about players and the club, I have self diagnosed as being bipolar. My brain chemistry seesaws with every blog I read.

As I logged onto the site today, I wondered which way my c

Should parra be forced to pay Kieren everythig

my first post so go easy :)I can't believe this is continuing to drag into round 16 when there was a round 13 deadline. If Foran isn't allowed to backflip on his contract then parra shouldn't be able too either even if it's just amending the contract

what is going wrong at Parramatta? Josh Massoud

Brian Smith coached Parramatta for nine seasons. His role as Eels football operations manager wasn't so enduring. Smith came one day; was gone the next.

It was late 2013. Yet again, the Eels were struggling to extract themselves from a cesspit of inte

Nathan Peats car gets repossesed

If we lose Nathan Peats because of this re-possessing of his car nonsense, that will be the straw that breaks the camels back for me.

Against The Odds - a Footy Blog

Parra vs Dragons. What a challenge! The odds are stacked.Consider:* first 3 dummy half choices gone* fullback gone* halves reshuffled, therefore spine messed up.* Ma'u and Watmough gone* Taka still on one leg* coach trying to sort the Foran contract*

What is the status of the contract?

Foran's management asked NRL this, what was the answer?

Contract agreed but not signed by the third party, the NRL and past NRL deadline for backflip.

Parra and Foran should not be able to change if NRL signs - but Foran could exercise the exit clause.

The inside story of how the Kieran Foran deal unravelled, Andrew Webster SMH

Would you like an insight into the insanity that is Parramatta?

The now infamous $1 million exit clause that has all week threatened to unravel Kieran Foran's $4.8 million deal was inserted at the 11th hour earlier this year.

Changes to Massoud article - What is wrong with Parramatta

Here is something interesting I just discovered when reading the online version of a story which jpav posted last night. It’s just lucky that jpav cut and pasted the text otherwise I wouldn’t have paid so much attention.

Kieran Foran’s $1m get-out clause with Eels illustrates Parramatta’s contract shambles, James Hooper

THE architects of the Kieran Foran $1 million get-out clause must have been watching re-runs of Dr Evil out of the Austin Powers flicks when they cooked-up the absurd element of the contract.

Even better, they must have been laughing like they’d just

A warning to Kieran Foran. If you go to Parramatta, you are crazy!That’s the second warning I’ve issued to the talented No.6.I wrote a column back in April warning Kieran that the political infighting that existed at Manly at the time was child’s pla

When was the last time we lost five straight at Parra?

I have never seen such panic, hysteria, and anguish from Eels fans in all my time on this website compared to what I witnessed this week. I don't know how the Foran saga will be resolved, but I think it's time to remember that we actually have a game
