They are the extraordinary governance reforms Parramatta hope will finally usher in a new era.Eels chairman Max Donnelly on Wednesday took a major step towards a fresh start for the club when he proposed an extraordinary ban on all former directors being voted onto the new board.In an attempt to avoid the endless bickering at administration level that sensationally brought the Eels to their knees in 2016, Donnelly also proposed all new board members pass a skills-based criteria never before mandated in the clubs history.I want a clean slate, Donnelly told AAP on Wednesday.For most clubs, the criteria is how many years of membership have you got to make you eligible to be on the board.All those old club constitutions were drawn up in a way to stop people turning up today and trying to take over the club tomorrow because they wouldve had to be a member for three years.But in this day and age, weve moved on. In other words, it will take more than knowing how to throw a spiral pass or a kick a torpedo bomb if you are to tick off on the murky world of third party deals and contract extensions.That was part of the problem, Donnelly said.A lot of people that got onto the board, theyre not used to running a company. Footballers are wonderful footballers, but not many of them can run a business because theyre not trained to.While two of the seven board members will be nominated by Parramatta Leagues Club, five will come external to the franchise and from business-centred backgrounds.Donnelly said it is a set-up not far removed from the likes of Newcastle, Wests Tigers and Gold Coast, all of whom have had to be rescued by the NRL in recent seasons.Members have until November 4 to provide feedback.Its the way of the future. You need a skills-based board. Thats what Im trying to achieve, he said.Ive also said that if youd been a director in the past, you cant be a director again going forward, which is to try and stop all the old factions.People might turn around and say thats silly, or unfair or wrong, well okay, thats why I have a consultation process, and Ill listen to what everyone says to me.The NRL is understood to have given Donnelly the green light, despite a request to veto any future changes to the clubs constitution.I resisted that, I didnt think the members of Parramatta would like that, Donnelly said.Donnelly also revealed on Wednesday that the clubs protracted contract saga with Will Hopoate had come to an end after settling the dispute last week.In another sign of the Eels pushing into a new era, Donnelly said the club is likely to search for a new major sponsor once its deal with Dyldam expires at the end of the month.

(STATS) -- Sam Houston States six sacks allowed this season are tied for the sixth-lowest total among FCS teams.On Thursday, the NCAA Division I FCS selection committee delivered a sack against the unbeaten Bearkats thats more important than any on the field.The committee lowered the No. 1 team in the STATS FCS Top 25 three spots to No. 5 in their second of three sets of Top 10 rankings preceding its announcement of the 24-team pairings on Nov. 20.Jacksonville State (8-1) had the top spot for the second straight week, followed by Eastern Washington (8-1), five-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State (8-1) and James Madison (8-1), which moved up one spot each. After Sam Houston, The Citadel (9-0) was sixth, followed by Chattanooga (8-1), Richmond (7-2), Central Arkansas (8-1) and North Dakota (8-2).Sam Houston (9-0) hasnt trailed in a game this season, but coach K.C. Keelers squad has fallen behind in the selection committee rankings. The top two seeded teams in the playoffs are guaranteed home games through the semifinals, whose winners will advance to the FCS championship game Jan. 7 in Frisco, Texas.Second in the committee rankings last week, the Bearkats fall to No. 5 ironically comes after one of their bigger wins of the season, 56-43 over rival McNeese (5-55).ddddddddddddWhile Sam Houstons 89th ranking in the NCAAs toughest schedule report would be cause for a drop with the committee, it doesnt compute with Jacksonville States 101st-ranked schedule based on cumulative opposition (the winning percentage of past and future opponents). The Gamecocks, last years FCS runners-up, are coming off a less impressive win than Sam Houston -- 17-10 over Southeast Missouri (3-6).Should the teams in front of Sam Houston continue to win this weekend, the Bearkats may not gain with the committee because they play a 1-8 Northwestern State squad. However, their final regular-season game on Nov. 19 could leave a lasting impression as they will host Central Arkansas in a likely pseudo-Southland Conference championship game. Both teams are 7-0 in conference play.The playoffs consist of 10 conference champions which receive automatic bids and 14 at-large selections. Eight teams will be seeded and receive first-round byes, and 16 open play in the first round on Nov. 26.The selection committee will release one more set of rankings on Tuesday during the Championship Drive: Power Hour, beginning at 10 p.m. ET on ESPNU.
