Social Blog Guidelines

So this is your area to discuss non-Football topics.

The goal is, for those who wish to have discussions beyond footbal, to provide a forum for you to do so, all-year long.

However, this area is being provided on the following principals.

The social blogs stick to our site guidelines and code of conduct.

All blogs should respect the fact that Parramatta and 1Eyed's community is large and diverse. Blogs that are divisive or disrespectful to any members of our community will be deleted.

Be aware that blog headlines are on the front page, so they should be written as such; ie not deliberately inflammatory or offensive.

This area will be moderated more liberally than the football blogs, but all the code of conduct rules replies. ie no abuse, offensive images, etc.

For those of you who enjoy going beyond footy, I hope you enjoy this new area of the site.

You need to be a member of 1Eyed Eel to add comments!

"I guess all that information over the years stating that the coach asks for a certain type of player and then RnR get one. 
Now I assume JR can then veto it but if they tell him it's that guy or no-one (or the best we can get) what choice does he…"

"100% agree. The FO executives is clearly prioritising and looking at the Balance Sheets results rather than the on field results. As long as the cash is coming in, they will feel that they are doing it right. Sadly, we cannot totally blame them…"

"Most of his first grade games came last year when really he shouldn't have been playing first grade yet, well not as much as he did at least.
He is very raw and should have been slowly introduced to first grade over last season and this but the club…"

"He has really bad technique,  he plants his feet early and then leans (sometimes falls) in the direction the ball carrier runs using just his upper body to basically hug the ball carrier. This very poor technique (don't know how he made it past…"

"Imo Kelma is one of the laziest defenders we've ever had... honestly think he has been lucky with us to have had so many first grade games. Im actually surprised he gonna try his luck elsewhere, unless it's just us encouraging him to do so. Tata!"

"Agreed, Kautonga's still very young and inexperienced. We have seen glimpses of what he is capable of, but clearly needs much more development. Ideally he'd spend some stints in Cup honing certain skills, but we don't have anybody to take his place."

As for MON, I agree the actual job description he applied for (it was online) and the statement the club…"

Of course what they didn't know was all those raffle tickets had my name on them !!!!"

"The job description MON was hired under and the club statement of his appointment contradict your view Michael.
Of course the coach is involved. But the buck stops with the GM of Football as per the clubs statements."
