I don't get it.

Posted by Orange Eel on August 27, 2010 at 10:34pm

I'm normally not one to get down on my team, I prefer to defend the players then criticise but I just don't get it. No go-forward, infintile decision making ending in mistakes that give us terrible field position, even Nathan Hindmarsh missing tackles, Luke Burt missing simple goal kicks, no kicking game, stupid penalties....

How can you not be ready to play when your season is on the line?

What the hell has happened to the team that took us all on that thrilling 3 month ride last year???

Please tell me we aren't going to waste another decade (like we did after 2001) waiting for another shot while all the talent in the world is wasted....

warriors won easily tonight ,so our season was over anyway ,now we can get over all the crap that has gone on this year,and concentrate on giving Cayless the sendoff he deserves.

i noe how you feel,we all do :(
i think the lost last week has absolutely changed the players attitude,they're so down,slow,poor kicking game options,kicks out on a full,bad offloads,missed tackles..eveything was bad

The rant is as much about the last 6 days and for that matter the entire season, as it is about tonight. Cayless deserves to lift the NRL trophy, unfortunately it's not going to happen.

But what chance do the halves have when we are camped inside our own half?

A good halfback provides organisation or direction for the team. Tonight Parramatta look disjointed with no clue what they were doing.

  your a hundred percent rite. The eels didnt even look like a team no set plays nuthing. our first 3 kicks went straight to wesser on a full. no repeats sets other than 1 by then it was to late. we need fresh faces and yeah we need a halfback. we still havnt replaced the plyers we have lost for 2011 other than resigning groth and horo. thank god for that. lets hope the parramatta board has a supprise for us and lets hope its a good one. hint hint 7 that can bluddy play and lead our team forward.

It is a shame Cayless is going out like this. The team did look pretty beat early on! Just hoping they can win for Cayless next week to at least send him out on a winning game. Feels like we haven't won at home for ages and the Warriors will be hard to beat next Saturday!! Go Parra!

Are u Ppl serious ?? The team knew after last week it was over, they came with the attitude to throw the ball around at all costs, and have sone fun... It wasn't our year 4 what ever reason we will never know.. We had a disgraceful year and all the boys know it..... Like I've said it's gonna be a long long off season and unless they rectify there attitude it's gonna be the same next year!!but I think this year will really wake them up... It was the year( maybe) they needed to wake up..

Cramped inside our own half because our halves can't kick past their twenty and never turn the fullback around. That is our biggest problem. Put any 7 who can do nothing more then kick and we win the majority of out games this year. We have a big problem next year still without a good half.
