Eels will be heavy favourites next week.

Probably the first game this year we are expected to win and win comfortably. Will be a real test for Ryles to make sure complacency doesn't kick in and we still play a good game. Cowboys look terrible at the moment but we can't just expect to show up and win.

  • It's a danger game as though NQ cannot defend they can also easily put points on, if we defend like we did v Melbourne we win.

    But if I was Ryles use this as a we win no spoon game. If Titans beat Souths beforehand but 1 we are below them.

    • With how bad we have been for most of the year I'd hope we aren't complacent at all. Should know what it feels like to lose most weeks and need to put them to the sword 

      • Had we beaten Melbourne I could see complacency but since Ryles was annoyed that we lost it ourselves they didn't beat us he could have them up.

        • He was pretty annoyed haha, all the pats on the back from the media is worrying but. But as long as Moses keeps them focused we should really put them away easily 

          • Nah it's Ryles and the staff that they'll listen to. Frankly I'm surprised with the performance on Thursday night. Thought they would have had a go early then fall late but hung there for nearly the full 80.

            Ryles saying we lost it they didn't beat us is a good sign. It could have been we lost to a better team, no standards are higher now. 

            • Moses was pretty ticked off to, standards are definitely we have to win games right now. No excuses 

              • Yeah he did seem pretty pissed, he's over all this green shoots talks and just wants to win as said in the postgame. Honestly he could force the club the club to make some signings and possibly a developed five-eight to partner him, he needs some pressure taken of him. Hopefully they go and find someone, Doueihi just smashed the dogs and tigers and Dragons want him at lock instead of halves.

                • Jayden Campbell at 6 is the dream 

    • Yep dangerous too because the scoreline flattered us against Melbourne.  They made a tonne of  uncharacteristic errors which cancelled out ours. Hoping our young guys don't get ahead of themselves, it easily could have been a bigger scoreline.  

      • I wouldn't say flattered us, since we were the better team, if only marginally.

"No way Parramatta buys pezet 900k + for a guy coming off injury and only played a hamdful of games, surely. Tino has been rumored for a while. Good lifestyle on the gold coast though. Jack de belin had a good game on the weekend as a side note. I…"

"Issue is NQ bench is depleted, full of rookies. When they had likes of McLean, Taumalolo and McIntyre it was affective. If anything the test is Jack Williams on Dearden. Let that fucker get a run in and he's off and racing for the game, if he's in…"
