Eels are now in 8th position with the Cowboys beating Manly. The Eels play Cowboys next in Townsville and then Storm in Melbourne who are beating the Roosters convincingly. Next 3 games for Eels are very important. If they can win 2 out of the next 3 it will certainly help their top 4 chances.

Interesting and stressful times ahead ...
Well put it this way, both North Queensland and Melbourne were not convincing tonight. That can be good and bad. Good in that they are a hot and cold outfit, though the bad is the hot they are very good.
Had we played either North Queensland or Melbourne tonight, full 17, we win simple as that.
But you are right, we drop out of the 8 with a loss as Souths have a bye and are on equal points. A loss against the Gold Coast i believe is final nail in the coffin for top 4. Yes a win is a win, but man we really need to put a score on.
Agree neither were convincing at all. Might put more effort in against the Eels at their home grounds though. Like you said if Eels turn up with their best attitude they could have easily beaten either side.
I feel thos season honestly we could just as likely win the comp as we are to miss the 8 all together
I agree. There's a few teams in this category. Eels, Rabbits and cowboys.
Interestingly a few above these are no chance because they can't realistically beat a full strength Penrith. Those being raiders, sharks and warriors.
Strange season.
COME ON PARRA
7 games to go + bye. We need to win 4/7 to be 100% in the 8. 3/7 and we're skating on thin ice and we'll need our points differantial to get us over the line.
We've got a bastard draw too having the Dragons as the only "easy" game. The rest are Titans, Panthers, Chooks, Broncos, Cows and Storm. Must win games are against Titans, Cows and Chooks for top 8 positions. If we win those we're good for the 8. We're in serious trouble if we don't win tomorrow. That 3rd origin dead rubber really f*cked us.
Yep the 3rd Origin dead rubber was really unnecessary in my opinion. Qld still won the series so really didn't see the point of a 3rd origin 😕 it cost the Eels 2 important competition points plus a 36 point deficit and Gutherson played for 3 minutes. Really makes me wonder if it was a set up
Calm down, just a win will will do.
This years comp is pretty odd, ive found it the hardest to pick for a long time. Many " shoe ins" losing and big margin losses. A win this week will do, we need consistency and the rest will take care of itself
