Parramatta Eels Fan Relegates Himself To NSW Cup For The Year

A local NRL fan has today made a huge call on the season.

Will Muller (31) from our town's peri-urban sprawl of Betoota Plains, has confirmed to The Advocate that he's actually relegating himself for the year.

The HVAC Technician explained to our humble regional newspaper that he just can't do another year of properly supporting the Eels.

"Yeah, I'm relegating myself to reserve grade for the season to work on my game a little bit," laughed Muller.

"I'm not gonna put myself through another 7 months of pain."

"The jokes and sledging I'll cop through the season will be bad enough, without having to actually watch 13 boys in blue and gold act like training cones for 80 minutes each week."

The catalyst for the decision was the complete shellacking the Eels copped on Thursday night at the hands of the Melbourne Storm.

Despite an early try, the Eels defensive line soon turned into a colander, conceding well over 50 in a rather concerning manner.

"Bro, we are pretty good in the NSW Cup," laughed Muller about the reserve grade comp.

"And the games are always on nice and early, so I don't have to get my mood ruined on a Friday night by a bunch of pretenders who seem like they've never practiced defending a back line move in their life."

"So it's a no brainer really I think."
