Let's make a stand. Shut down blogs linking traffic to, or quoting the telegraph (including this one).
Anyone with me?

"It's interesting isn't it, a good way to look at where we should source players from is to not examine the individual player/s but the club. A club in turmoil, in transition or where there is player unrest. Conversely the clubs we should avoid are…"

"Fully understand LB, what I am saying is by signing another preferred left sided player in my mind it doesn't make sense. It would make more sense to go for a right sided player and let JAC continue to perform at his ceiling rather than dropping.…"
"It would be actually interesting to see what a change of scenery would do for him, he's definetly a rocks and diamond player. If we targeted anyone you'd have to look at Luciano Leluia, change would do him good also"

"We have a good start with Koina and Talagi in lower grades. Koina left QLD to play for Parra as him and his family are Eels fans. Talagi turned down Penrith to stay at Parra despite Blaize leaving. Tuivaiti from all conversations loves the club."

"I agree most wingers have a preferred side and are usually better there. My point is that doesn't automatically mean Jenkins wouldn't sign. Penrith train their outside backs to play both sides and Jenkins has played right wing before. If Parra…"
"Archie, thanks for your kind words mate.
I agree. We need both.
Admitedly, Mason's passion is admirable: the whole "die for the club" ethos. Players who will run through walls. Gibson's core of 6 or so tough nuts. That's harder to find than it…"

"Have i stuffed something Hoe. Lorenzo has a development deal for 2027, am i wrong in believing come Nov.1 he can talk to other clubs. "
"Captain and Bluey, thanks for sharing.
The only downside to being aboard that train is some false advertising for the passangers e.g. Lorenzo being available Nov 1st.
I'll leave it at that as Bluey said he had the withdrawal shakes yesterday."

Mason and Scope on Parramatta Recruitment and How Premierships Are Won

100% with you mate. Feck the DT. I urinate and defacate on their NRL journos and editors Same goes for channel 9. I have already boycotted channel 9's footy coverage and The Footy Show for the way their 9 News milked the crap out of our 2016 troubles. Every night they'd report on "Parramatta's salary cap trouble". It had nothing to do with that. We were UNDER THE CAP by 220k for 2016. We were busted for multiple, pissy little 3rd-party deals which added up to 770k over 3 or 4 years whilst were collecting wooden spoons, hence the fact we then became 550k over the cap because we were originally under by 220k.
The NRL forced us to add that figure onto our 2016 cap and that's what put us over it. Fecking ridiculous considering third-party deals can be unlimited.
Now the NRL expect us to believe that roosters spent just 200k on players via TPA's in 2018 despite the fact that they destroyed the Storm team in the GF which supposedly used over $2M+ in TPA's on top of their cap for the squad they've got.
lt's okay for the Storm to spend $2M+ in TPA's last season alone on top of their salary cap but not okay for us to spend 770k over 3 or 4 years? Seriously, who gives a schitt if the tpa money deals are clean/legit or not? Who? Shouldn't the focus be on the fact some clubs have access to MILLIONS OF DOLLARS MORE THAN OTHER CLUBS and try to make the whole system fairer?
Feck T.Greenberg and the NRL too, for stripping us of our 2016 Auckland 9's tournament. That had nothing to do with the NRL. It was run and paid for by that rich guy in NZ and we didn't even use all our most expensive players anyway. That team had a lot of youngsters & reserve graders in it.
Fark you Todd Kuntberg
I deleated the link to daily telegraph in 2016 when they were giving it to the Eels every day. I stopped buying their paper on the weekends & won't bother with them again.
DT=Daily Turds! Great for picking up your dog's turds with. I know people that lives by the DT. Even their world news is full of shit, Pro-Liberals, Pro-Trump, Anti-Eels
