[Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

[HoldenV8]

It shocked me that Peats was allowed to go. He is the likely NSW hooker next year. Also why Gordon was pushed out the door. Just as strange as why they paid all that money for Watnow and Foz. Oh well gives us something to smile about in our dark(ish) period.

I still think that Arthur saw the chance to 'break up the band' at Manly (so to speak) and went after it at any cost. I don't think they expected the Foran thing to work out like it has, but it all came back to bite them on the arse didn't it.

Better than Trent's, unfortunately.
But I do take your point.

Arthur - 72 games, 45% wins
Barrett 21 games, 38% wins
I know whose ratio is likely to improve most next year and it isn't Arthur's.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I saw a bit of Arthur on Sterling's show, his main point to his teams is 'win at all costs'. No surprise there.

 

[HoldenV8]

I still can't believe the clowns (including Fittler) who think Arthur should win Coach of the Year.

Flanagan, Bellamy or Stuart yes. But Arthur's team was built on salary cap cheating (and I still maintain he was up to his eyeballs in that). If they hadn't recruited Foran, Jennings, Scott, Gordon and Gutho....all while already being over the cap, they'd be nowhere and wouldn't have needed to lose 12 points to be there.

How would BA's look if you took away the cheat wins too. They've deducted the points but the wins stands which is bull****.

THE NRL is clamping down on clubs that sign senior players near the end of their careers on long-term contracts amid startling news Parramatta are still being forced to pay retired forward Anthony Watmough his full $700,000-a-year salary.

Haha make them pay $Forme salary for next year too. Fuk 'em , scum.

 

[SeaEagle21]

"But in one piece of good news for Parramatta, the NRL spokesman said that, regardless of the final outcome of the Eels’ negotiations with the insurers, the club’s salary cap for 2016-18 would not be affected."

So they can cover the cost outside of the cap, well done NRL for putting the foot down!!!

 

[HoldenV8]

Its been said before and I'm sure this won't be the last time.....

No

What a joke the NRL is these days. A complete toothless tiger!

Exactly.
I've said it before, it's the roll on effect of rorting the cap that goes unnoticed - it's a domino effect.
If they didn't sign Choc, they most likely don't get the others.

I'm sorry but I just can't believe anything that Brad Arthur says.

The money thrown at Watnow & $Forme was just crazy, I said it at the time and now in retrospect it was a very very costly play by them!!

I doesn't matter how costly it was to them Mark, they don't care, as long as they keep getting funded by that leagues club of theirs, they'll keep on pi$$ing it up against the wall.

Cheating scum, should be banned for 12 months BUT of course the TV owners wouldn't have that would they!

Having to pay Foran isn't the issue Greenturd, parra has heaps.....the issue you slimebag ... is you removing those payments from the salary cap and therefore rewarding the cheating and stupidity.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Another week and another lol moment , their major sponsor Dildo ( Dyldam) has " lost confidence" in their management and future and pulled the pin effective 3rd August.

Good thing our major sponsor, Coco Joy, has such confidence in us!

Yep, that's what stinks WHY should it be outside of the cap???

That's a min grade pay player they'd lose if it was counted, bloody Greenslime bet it would be totally different if it was us , he'd be shafting Manly at every chance !!

Maybe we are matching lol moments with them???
