Hahahahaha good call Mick....did you see how hot and bothered Bellamy became when asked if he had signed at the Broncos? Smoke was coming out off his ears.
1: We need a fair go from the refs, not a leg up, but just a fair go.
2: The middle, go through them, earn the right to go wide.
3: Defence out wide, OMG, our wingers are coached to play so tight, yet don’t have the pace to turn and cut off the attacking winger, they need to ease out wider, slide a bit sooner.
4: MM needs to find the turf and the sides with his kicks, don’t drop it down Paps throat all game.
5: Second phase, Paulo is the key and Gutho, MM, Smith et all need to trail him.
SIMPLE we dont - One thing you can absoluely count on with Parra, is that if it is a BIG game that matters OR if we play The Storm in a big boys game - Parra will fold and run away like scared kids
Parra is one of THE MOST GUTLESS clubs in the past 30 years
In case you have been hiding under a rock - This is who we are
btw - Parra has NEVER beaten The Storm yb the finals
This isnt a final - but Parra should have had THIS game circled at the start of the year as their MOST important match of the Season
To slay a dragon (metaphor) you gotta fight the dragon - until we can BEAT the storm in games that matters
Parra will not go anywhere
I blogged this after the last game in 2019
For Parra to BEGIN to even contemplatte success playing against the big boys, in big boy games - we gotta LEARN how to overcome adversity and KILL the dragon
Bellamy has Arthurs number as he was his one time assistant
BA has FAILED MISERABLY in games of consequence
It would be nice, however if you needed ant more reminders - I have a ONE WORD ARGUMENT that cannot be disputed
........... P A N T H E R S
more good news - if Parra fail - Raiders & Roosters wiln - Parra driops to 5th at precisely the wrong time of year
My bad - not really following NRL these days, watching from afar - so IT IS a final after all
All other comments remain relevant
My apologies
ps - I find RL has become boring and most of the plays are predictable - STILLHOPE PARRA WINS but cant see it - Hard core Eels & RL for 40+ years but due to LACK of skills and sponteniety I am now a HARD CORE NFL. UK Premier League and Aussie Rules fan - still download and watch LOADS of pre1995 Sydney Rugby League - before the advent of THE WORST RULE CHANGE - the brain numbing 10meter rule - the old 5m rulle games haveMORE skill & sponteniety - so still a RL fan
Sating that Eels have ZERO CHANCE = and this is coming from a lifetime Eels fan that has not watched a game of RL for nearly 3 years - he final nail in the coffin was RAIDERS ROOSTERS GF and the bungling referees decision on the kast tackle so Raiders couldnt get their last tacklw kick away when attacking the Roosters line - Roosters scored match winner after that THE FOOTBALL GODS FINALLY PUNISHED ME ENOUGH NEVER TO COME BACK TO LEAGUE
You 1Eyed eels are far more resilient than me - but an easy way for me to justify walking away was that I was 10ys old om 1975 when I fell in love with Parra - so for the NEXT 12 years = aged 10 to 22 - the perfect age for being a sports fan I rode the Eedls train thru the disappointments of 1975 1976 (fell in love with the headgear wearing Ray Price) 1977 x 2 1978 (best parra team NOT to make GF - saw Sterlos first game at SCG as a 16yo) 1980 with Arthur Beetson THEN 1981 and my life long love affair with BRETT KENNY and being at the SCG when Kenny dummied his way into history - The Gibson & Monie Eras - WEAlly & Brett in the early Origin ERA when ORIGIN was SO FUCKING GOOD then 1986 going to the GF - driven in to the game with Bookend No2 Terry Leabeater and Mark Laurie and being there when Parra had NO BUSINESS beating the Bulldogs as they had dominated Parra for the previous 2 seasons.........and a whole lot more stories than that
My point is - NOTHING can beat time as Parra fan because I SAW & LIVED THRU all of it - Please somebody resurrect the 2001 Parra GF Team - what a fantastic side - see my YOU TUBE tribute and just fall in love with them again
I've been spoilt and I CANT STAND the dysfunctional rabble MY EELS have become - I have gorged on Parra good times
If u think I am a cynical and grumpy old man against my Eels - maybe just a spippet for my deep love has been revealed to you above
Sadly MOST EELS fans have only known failure - I am one of the few living relics that indulged with Scanlens footy cards. making my own flag, getting autographs longing for the NEXT ISSUE of RL Week - loving Rex Mossop and Contraversy Corner - being scrared shitless at Lidcombe Oval & to afraid to wave my flag - Only the late 70's Magpies Team actually TERRIFIED me & so did their fans with Dallas Donelly, Bruce Gibbs Les BoydJoe Cool & Tommy Terrific
You can only do that shit as an 11,12,13,14,15,16 year old
AS John Lennon pnce said "I hope some day you will join me"
I know the good times and can ONLY wish you resilient lifers with No GF memories nothing but SUCCESS
But I still cant see Parra beating the Storm
Much respect 1EyedEelers
My Avatar is ME crying like a baby when Parra lost 22-0 to St George in the 77 GF Replay
Play our game don't play there's , play with intend , hard fast with runners following up Ann different angles at all times , play some football attacking we have always been guilty of giving them to much respect , alway worried about completing sets and matching them at there game we are not them
"It's people (I'm being polite) like you who make it embarrassing to be an eels supporter. Your rhetoric is absolutely rubbish, it astounds me, and highlights the fact you don't know what the fck you're talking about! Meninga has been cancer at…"
"Most other coaches will point out to him that he isn't beneficial atm compared to long term. Rather him rest and get the knees better, even moving to five eight atm would be great for him. "
"Fongy he might be able to attract Slater to the club as a long term coach and maybe the likes of Thurston or something as assistant. Definitely not long term, short burst like our so called power game. To be honest not much else available straight…"
"Yeah, so true, some fans of opposition teams have no idea how lucky they are. We haven't had a kicker I was generally confident with since 2001. Re, tonight it's made worse considering it wasn't bad kicking conditions. There were no excuses, e.g.…"

The way to beat them is the same way the Panthers play
Drop Wonka Blake. He's shit. Shouldn't be in 1st grade.
BA hasn't dropped him all year. As if he is going to drop anyone now?

Maybe a machine gun. LOL.
Just get in their faces and frustrate them
