The Cowboys made easy metres sometimes 70m out of their own end as most teams do against parra.
Any other team with a bit of polish on the end of their sets would have put 40 on us on that performance - but the delusional BA says it was a "Great effort" in the post game presser. What a joke.
Parramatta can't travel with zero wins out of Sydney since August 2017 - that's mental and comes down to the mental weakness of the entire squad under this coach.
It seems everything needs to be perfect to get a win from sleeping in their own comfy beds to driving 10ks to the ground. Mentally the weakest team in the NRL, and more than anything the head coach drives how tough the culture is throughout each club.

I agree we are mentally weak. But I don't agree BA produced it. I think we have been the most (or close to) mentally weak team in a long time. Long before Arthur took over. Some might argue St George are also mentally weak, and it's close I guess, but at least they won in 2010.
LOL. how far do you want go go back.
Well if you don't want to go back 9 years then I'd say St George are as mentally weak as us. Actually they have failed with what I'd consider better players (on paper at least), so I'd say they are the weakest mentally and we come in second.
We were never mentally weak under brian smith, its definitely the coach.
2005 vs cowboys
1998 vs bulldogs
Stop living in the past. Different group of players. Different game. Wake up to yourself and go and support a mentally strong team,whatever that means. You probably mean a physically more capable team. Our roster is not capable of winning week after week. We are rebuilding from a Wooden spoon position.
1997 v Newcastle
1998 v Canterbury-Bankstown
1999 v Melbourne
2001 grand final
2005 preliminary final against NQ.
Yep it doesn't matter who coaches us. We are for what ever reason mentally weak. Sad times
Some of our players off contract who have been in our top squad for years and known mostly defeat it’s time to say goodbye.
We don’t have a winning culture so we have to go to market ,no one year contracts for our incumbents it’s time to cut them loose. Tep, Mau, Taka and the like have hit their ceiling and your simply not getting value of money by retaining their services.
Money’s better spent on your Luke Capewell like players who’d be on less money ,are playing a better tougher brand of football and yet to reach their potential.
We struggle to attract marquee players so we have to look at players on the up with less then 50 first grade games ,players who are likely to play 200 and are currently undervalued at their current clubs.
We desperately need a cleanout and this conclusion needs to realised now not in two months.
100% spot on, the weakest underbelly and worst culture in the comp.
The Roosters took their players to the Somme in the holidays, showed them the trenches, battle grounds, graves.
You know what they were told?
''The soldiers never got a day off or put in a bad day, if they put in bad days where they switched off they'd be dead or their mates would be dead.
They faught in water fulled trenches every day, sick and mentally under pressure and oput in day after day.
We only have to perform one day a week under pressure......
We wonder why the roosters are putting in every week? theyve setand we cant even do two weeks in a row, fucking disgraceful.
People wonder why the roosters players put in every week, because their coach sets a high bar and understands how to prepare and get them ready for a game..
Its mental, it doesnt matter how good your team is, they still have to mentally get up every week.
