Disappointing result but theirs no point crying over spilt milk by saying "if only" or "what if" cause the only negative to come out of todays game was the fact that those grubs managed to put one on us.Mark down friday 23rd of October as the day parra breathed fire at pirtek and began a revival that will ultimately achieve a reward of mammoth proportions.I think you'll find next week Brad Arthur will rush all players he regards as the strongest 17 due to the fact that theirs no more time to stumble in the rest of our matches.In the press conference you'll notice Arthur mention that we'll need victory in up coming 3 clashes to garauntee a finals berth.I'm confident next weeks 17 will feature Junior Paulo, Manu Ma'u, Ken Sio and possibly Willie tonga which will strengthen parra's side to full strength barring season ending injuries to Peats(how good would it have been if he was available) and Mossop.During the dogs game you would have noticed our forwards getting punished early on which put us on the back foot straight up.Enter Junior Paulo and Manu Ma'u and they provide the ideal remedy for this aspect.Although Vai Toutai had no negatives but in saying that nothing beats a world class finisher and Kenny Sio sure fits the bill.Not really sold on Willie Tonga but it seems as though Ryan Morgan has gone back to his starting days by not being urgent when an opportunity presents itself or shutting down his opposite in a crucial situation therefore resorting to Willie Tonga might be ideal solution at this point in time.If these players are anywhere close to being fit then all will go on the line cause theirs no second chances from here on.With these additions our team will have all bases covered to whats been lacking recently and won't provide major weakness to our formation and game plan.Strongest 17:1 Hayne2 Radradra3 Hopoate4 Morgan (Tonga)5 Sio6 Norman7 Sandow8 Mannah9 De gois10 Lussick11 Moeroa12 Ma'u13 Edwardsinterchange14 Joseph Paulo15 Pauli16 Junior Paulo17 GowerJust on Lussicks performance against the Dogs and was by far his best for the year.

  • Why are we marking down Friday 23rd of October????
    • After season is over, the Eels are going to learn fire-breathing?
    • Parra is merging with St George?
  • For sure we can still make the 8 with 3 wins but doesn't excuse the NRL constant f'ing up games. Sick of their shite.
  • Are we definitely in the 8 with 3 wins??? Or still a chance we may not make it?
  • Agree! Let's not panic yet
  • Need to win next 3 or we are done, we won't make 8 on 30 points because of our F & A. However unless the forwards start passing the ball we will not win the next 3 games imo. We will only make up the numbers if we do make the 8 (much like Bulldogs) so we need the forwards to develop this aspect of their game. 

  • Well said raid I agree
  • Junior paulo get let off his suspension??
