Parramatta Eels agree defender transfer in new Superstar twist…
It won’t quite attract the global cut through of the upcoming United States election but a group of champion Parramatta players have taken a leaf out of Donald Trump’s play book with a view to overthrowing the current Eels administration.
Whereas Trump has shot to worldwide notoriety on the back of his “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan the disgruntled ex-Eels players are attached to a committee titled “Make Parra Matter Again – it’s time for change”.
The drums have been beating for the past couple of months about a push to oust the current Parramatta decision-makers who have overseen the club going from a grand final in 2022 to fighting to avoid the wooden spoon against Wests Tigers on Friday night.
Who’s involved in the push for change? Only three of the greatest Parramatta players of all time.
Retired champion Eels Brett Kenny, Ray Price, Eric Grothe Snr, Eric Grothe Jnr, Ben Smith and David Liddiard have all thrown their support behind the Make Parra Matter Again committee who are calling for signatures to force an Extraordinary General Meeting.
The committee has hatched a plan calling on eligible Parramatta Leagues club voting members to sign a petition which allows them to call for an overhaul of the current Leagues Club directors.
If the group is successful in overthrowing the current Parramatta Leagues Club board then they can push to overthrow the Eels directors on the existing Parramatta NRL board.
