2020 Parramatta Eels Thread......Lets not get carried away.

Guff said "my full support" not the "full support of the board" which is a good thing. "Full support of board is often the death knell. Bernie is legit, so having his support is really all BA needs and Bernie is spot on, people calling for his head have very short memories.

Maguire has been approached to head an internal investigation into football operations according to Ray Hadley. I'm sure that'll work out well

It was a general question not aimed at Parra. The full support line always amuses me.

Before people start getting silly and start conspiracy theroies. Hayne hasn't played this year, so you can't blame the curse.

Is 'the curse' something to do with Hayne's shitty attitude negatively (and instantaneously) affecting good club culture that has been successfully developed??

If so, then it doesn't really matter that he hasn't played this season - in fact that might even make 'the curse' more effective.

Agreed, and understood.

Parramatta Eels chief executive Bernie Gurr says the club will undertake a review of the club’s entire football operations, following their disastrous 2-11 start to the season. “The reality is when you’re 2-8, then it becomes 2-9 and then 2-10 and 2-11 the lens becomes much sharper on all those pieces of your footy program,” Gurr told The Sydney Morning Herald.

I hear Brian Smith is good at this sort of thing

One thing I can't stand is how fox/9 replay injuries over and over, Moses knee nearly snapped in half and they showed it like it was nothing

Parras major problem is the administrator is still in charge and has cut the football department right back. Parra has the smallest football department in the league. Arthur is doing what 3 guys do at other clubs, Gurr is doing what 3 guys do at other clubs. How can they not have a head of football when they have one of the biggest football areas? If i was in charge i would be going to Bellamy and saying why not come spend a year here(in between finishing with Storm and starting at Brisbane) creating a new position a bit like Fulton did at Manly, helps the coach if he wants it, looks after recruitment and jnr pathways (working with the coach) and plans a long term strategy for the club.

Interesting line up this week.

hayne at 6?

Nah, centres still. Fuck me, he isn't a centre.

Double as a centre. Guess we will take that.

Great to see Brown get the chocolates over Tuamalolo and no suprises to see us win when Mannah leads all forwards in the match for fastest play the ball speed.

MJennings still dropping balls over the line, lucky it didn’t cost us for the 3rd time this year

Yep, what the hell is that about? Is it a technical issue with his carry? It's just baffling?

Its the yips, hopefully the try he scored gets him over it. 4 bombed tries in the past month, 3 off kicks exactly the same way

Well at least Timmy Mannah has his play the ball speed Mojo back!! And if that is Jenning getting over the yips, then look out. Haha

surely surely now someone will listen to my calls that MJennings needs to be dropped. His defensive reads are pathetic.

Parra have some of the dumbest players in the comp. How many times does Hoffman need to get pushed back 10m into the in goal before he realises he needs to dive on the ground like 90% of the other wingers do.

Hoffman is barely reserve grade standard. He is garbage.

What was it last night with everyone just constantly charging out of the line, particular the Jennings' and even French on one occasion that simply wasn't required.

Bad, bad, bad.
