Stay strong Tank... Never let them dictate terms when it comes to sport.
I'm trying mate I'm trying! I'm a bit happier tonight because the knights lost. That's always a good thing. You put one tv remote through the wall and you get in strife. I'm billing Flanno for bing a **** coach!

Interesting stat according to NRL.COM. Apparently we made no line breaks last night. That's right 0 line breaks against a team that leaked 50 points the week before. Does that make Parramatta the perfect defensive team???

You wouldn't play him at 6 any day of the week. The only possibilities are Luke Lewis or Wade Graham.

Don't rule out Tyrone Peachey. The guy has all the skills. He should have been playing in all the skill positions in the off season but I doubt it somehow. When I take over as head coach Peachey get's his chance.

I agree Tef, but I think his defence still isn't that great. I saw him at Shark Park in last weeks game against the jets and he got pushed off quite a few times when he attempted tackles.

I thought Robbo made a line break in the second half before fudging the pass? Must have been considered a half-break.

It doesn't make Parra a good defensive team, just highlights how crap our attack is.

Just looking at that mongoloid in your avatar makes me sick. Can you black his face out?

Our team's attack make me think if Churchill describing Russia. A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. We seem to have the team to be an attacking force, but don't ending up being one. This forum is full of so many theories about why we aten't better, and they change every week. I'm as guilty as the next guy. We now have a great fullback and at least one good winger but it's hardly helping. And we've added Lewis, and gal is playing ball player less, and that's not helping either.

All I can conclude is we have a problem with 7 or the 9. Last week I blamed the 9, but noW I'm convinced that Robson is at the heart of our attacking weakness. It stems from him and his football brain which is not great, even he is all heart and a great defender. They have to try chad at 7. I'm just praying for a Robson injury. Sad but true.

Just watched a replay.

Yep we were poo across the paddock... not a lot extra I can add to what has already been said.

I noticed the number of times the Eels tacklers lock up the head and neck of the ball carrier in the wrestle on the deck.

It's something the refs will need to have a good look at.

They laid over us but we didn't get the same benefit from the refs

Btw I recall Gallen having a quick play the ball in the second half, wish saw more of that from him when we are on a roll

I asked someone once why we don't get a lot of penalties for this and it has been said its because we don't try and play the ball quick enough.

Call me sadistic, I just watched the replay for the second time and tried to look for positives unfortunately there aren't many, credit to the eels for a team that leaked 50 the previous week jeez they defended well, was amazed how many times they were able to roll us on our backs when we had the pill. Hayne and sandow didn't do too much and were probably matched by gordon and our halves which helped our cause, geez our forwards are getting owned. We carnt lose to st merge eels and manly three weeks in a row

I'd prefer to watch Cam Smith if you're talking about what works at dummy-half.

He looks almost effortless and with absolutely no urgency at all.

Such an incredible tradesman.
