Raiders gave it a great go but fell short. They were the better team actually. Good on them. Glad they lost due to Stuart. They did have some bad referee calls against them. Stuart must be fuming.
CEO's at the Eele is like changing your underwear, it happens all the time. Where is the stability? No other team does this. The Eels front office is a laughing stock.
Gerard's resume doesnt read well for success.

Gerard's resume doesnt read well for success. Not sure the Raiders were the better team? They definitely looked more likely to win the game or be the next to score a try when the scores were locked at 8-8. But watching that game, I could sense the Roosters were focusing mostly on defence like a boxer on the ropes, but waiting for that one moment, a line break to score the winning try. I think the Roosters knew what they were doing the entire game and never were in doubt or vulnerable like the commentators were saying. Roosters won that game on defence. Eels front office has been a mess since Fitzgerald left. I'm not saying he should comeback, but he was long serving. What's the point of implementing a certain way of doing things and developing a culture when the front office will eventually change? New front office, new ideas!! Just need a successful business person with a passion for Parra. |

I agree with you that the Roosters defense was incredible, something the Eels have to learn. I do however think the Raiders were the better team with no luck. All the poor refereeing decisions went the way of the Rooster. Got to wonder about that.
Fitzgerald was very good in the late 70's to the mid 80's, he then became arrogant and self centered, I think he ended up looking at the Eels as a place to line his pockets. His decision making was one poor decision after another, nothing making any sense at all as far as the football team went. Change was desperately needed, but not just change for change sake as what has happened to the Eels. The club has gone from one dumb ass to another. The club needs STABILITY with someone who has intelligence in business and a love for the Eels, as you said. We have had some with a love for the Eels, but no clue on intelligent decision making. Arrogance and running a sporting identity is not a good mix. Will the Eels ever work it out???

Arrogance and running a sporting identity is not a good mix. Will the Eels ever work it out??? Roosters trainer got in the way, six again call and a few others. Roosters definitely got the better calls, but I don't think that six again call that everyone is talking about was the deciding factor. Raiders were robbed of an opportunity, but not the game. Raiders had plenty of opportunity to score in the first 30 mins of the second half, but couldn't crack the Roosters defence. Roosters based everything on defence waiting for that one opportunity to score and it eventually came with controversy. But there are people who would not agree with me, believing the six again call took all the momentum away from the Raiders and let the Roosters off the hook. Very interesting GF moment to analyse. Exactly right about Fitzgerald. In the end he was just counting his retirement pension. Eels struggled on the field, giving nothing to the fans, but meanwhile, his future was being set up. Next CEO, will be another fizzer!! |

I completely agree that the 6 again call was not the deciding factor, but in a very close game as that game was the team with the most calls in there favor sure does help. All the calls went the Roosters way. Of course Raiders supporters would argue that. I didnt want Stuart to win so I am not complaining at all. I do have to give it to Stuart actually, his game plan was very good and they came so close to success. A few more calls there way and they probably would have won.
The Eels track record with CEO's reads like a Who's Who of CEO's to steer clear of, but the bleeding has to end eventually, maybe finally they will find a good one? It isnt too much to ask is it, ok, yes we are talking about the Eels here. Halfbacks and CEO's are a hard road for the Eels. Never has any other professional sporting body had so many problems with 2 major positions within there organization?

I guess if you were to put yourself in their position, you'd be quite upset with that stuff up and then seeing the Roosters score straight after. Pressure was taken off the Roosters with a refereeing blunder and they also win the game. Stuart definitely got his team in the right frame of mind for this game, but the incident with the trainer helped the Roosters early and the six again call helped at the end of the game. Roosters must have the football Gods on their side. When do we find out when the next CEO and / or Janitor Manager will be appointed at Parra? Probably never seen a football in his life. |

the Roosters sure had the football gods on there side this season, lets hope those gods go west to cumberland and stick around for a very long time. We need them more than the Roosters. We have a janitor and the Roosters have a coach.
Dont the club members vote for a new CEO, or is that all ancient history.

The football Gods are having a good laugh at Parra. Interesting to see if the Eels make anymore signings before next season? Should have some money aside for that. Maybe another bench player!! They must vote on the CEO, because Bill Moss was voted down a few years ago. Bill made everyone look bad at Parra. A highly successful businessman would make everyone look like Jim's Mowing!!  |

The Eels definitely need someone to replace Manu Ma'u. It just doesnt seem they are making much of an effort to do so. I think they officially dont even have a CEO any longer???
Jack Gibson would be totally shocked how poorly the Eels have been run for many years now.

I dont see a Fui Fui style player among those players. A number of those players I would not have a clue who they are. Chris Lawrence from the Tigers used to be a very good player, he has gone downhill over the past couple years.
Shouldnt Jai Arrow and David Fifita be on that list?
I would sign James Segeyaro as a backup hooker, he wouldnt cost all that much, I dont know what he is like now but he did used to be good.

I would sign James Segeyaro as a backup hooker, he wouldnt cost all that much, I dont know what he is like now but he did used to be good. Chris Lawrence and the Wests Tigers have both fallen away. Farrah and Marshall were yesterday's players. I think Marshall is playing again next year. According to Zero Tackle, Jai Arrow and David Fifita have both resigned with Titans and Broncos. Segeyaro could be used as an impact player off the bench. He's probably the only player in the Broncos team capable of making a line break. He has some speed and skill. |

Shame about Arrow and Fifita, either or both would have been an awesome signing.
The Tigers really do suck these days. They let all there best players leave at there peak and have hung on to has beens. Is Denis Fitzgerald helping in the background with them in some way. It smells of him.
I agree with you on Segeyaro, he would be a great impact player off the bench. Sign him immediately.

I agree with you on Segeyaro, he would be a great impact player off the bench. Sign him immediately. Don't know where Fitzgerald is these days, but he would have retired on a stack of money. Fitzgerald - Wikipedia In the wake of the 2016 salary cap scandal, Fitzgerald declared he would be willing to help Parramatta in any capacity. He went on to say “If there was something that I could do to ensure that the club was back on its feet, and really employing good governance rather than just talking about it, well I would only be too pleased to given that I’ve been involved with Parramatta as a player and as an administrator since 1969.”. Fitzgerald also said it would take Parramatta years to recover from the scandal, he said “I feel sorry for the players, coaching staff and fans" |

he would probably only have a lot of money due to the fact that he stole plenty off the club that he says that he would employ good governance, but he is only talking about it. His record isnt good. He is an asshole, with a huge ego and only cares about himself. Sounds something like a certain President?
