What a disgrace to our team and our Jersey. As an Eels Fan for 45 years, I am fumming as to how this guy scored that Try . I hope that moving forward that this is burnt into the mindset of every eels player. Yes I get it our season is over ...But the disrespect this guy showed our players and fans in unacceptable for a professional athelete. yes I am probably overreactiving and not concentrating on the real issues at hand but that was a Fing disgrace.

I remember when we smashed the Broncos in the finals with a similar score. There was media analysis all day all night on tv for weeks..... there be a mere blimp in media coverage of why / his Parra has fallen into the pile of shit that it is
That try sums up as a club, just stupid and underachieving.
I was fuming as well and If I were playing I wouldn't have copped that. He will be playing for Redcliffe next time Parramatta face him but hopefully the lads remember this little stunt/celebration he pulled and let him have it.
Dont see the issue.
He landed on the ground after Mosses attempt and was facing the wrong way.
Its properly best to keep running backwards for those few steps then fall over the line rather then try and turn and fall over short. Yes he gave a little sush gester with his finger but thats pretty minor to some of the other try celebrations. Didnt one of our players score a try a few years back running backwards in similar situation?
What i find more annoying is Will Pensini attempt at chasing him, he gave up at the 40m mark and should have been there next to Mosses to finish of the tackle.
Sorry its was Souths but this was one i was thinking off. Granted he didnt put finger up to mouth but we see players putting finger up to mouth regularly.

Most of the tries scored against us of late have been soft.
Look at the game against the storm, there were plenty of soft tries in that game as well
It's pretty damn clear we need a defensive coach next season,
Yeah, it was rubbing salt in the wound a little. At the time I though it was disrespectful but whatever. The Broncos were electric. There was a party atmosphere in the stadium and we weren't invited to the dance. We were insignificant, we just happened to be there.
Simmo should never play again for the eels
