When the going gets tough the tough can sometimes need help to get going

Well it looks like the Eels have missed the bus to this years finals. Parramatta can beat any team on their day but and typically have left their run to the last minute. They always just plod around for 50 minutes before having a crack at winning with only 20 minutes left from full time. This has been happening for a few years now so who is to blame.

Jarrod

He missed the NSW team bus to the second state of origin by leaving it till the last minute. Or maybe coach Bellamy gave the driver the Ok to go as he couldn't count to 17 (it makes sense considering belamy couldn't quite count to thirteen - hey where did that queensland winger come from).

Jarrod stands back and lets the team try and win it on their own before having a crack at it himself in the last quarter. Jarrod its not going to work. To start with most of your team mates are only average players and lets face it, that's all the Eels could afford after they pay your wage.

So what can we do to fix it - well nothing this year, but next year, drum a bit of urgency into Parramatta. Tell them they start from 10 wins behind due to salaray cap breaches. How about start the Eels on a 20 point handicap each game, or rush them to the game just in time to take the field. We need some sort of Parramatta Eels emergency vehicle for such an important occasion. Its a necessity if the Eels should be able to respond to these incidents. (We have had the Hayne train and the Hayne plane so next years "Hayne multi purpose emergency vehicle" isn't so far fetched)

Why is it that only certain emergency vehicles are able to break road rules on the way to something urgent. Not all emergency vehicles can break rules. The SES for instance only carry flashing lights not sirens. What can't other vehicles with an equally urgent need also use lights and sirens, like for instance Bill Harrigon's security detail leaving games.

In life there is an endless series of seemingly urgent vehicles with flashing lights and or those double parking blood delivery vans. Why not let other equally important vans\cars turn into emergency vehicles. Like, the CBD cellars delivery van or the Mens Gallery customer courtesy bus or more importantly when your desperate to get home from the pub before the family so you can pretend you've been there all along. Who wouldn't be happy to give way there.


The Dragons are confident that they have this one in the bag once Bills 'Match payment' arrives at WIN.
