I have never come across so many whingers on the one site, mods could we please change name to 1EE Whingers Club!
Kelly, we got what we expected, yet we express outrage at his performance. WTF! A few even had a go at his defence yet I can only remember 1 missed tackle from him, not bad for a half.
Our second half improved, or did Broncos go to sleep, with Edwards playing 5/8. So by thinking logically Norman must have been the problem. With better execution, better combinations and less dropped ball we may have even got over the line a few more times.
This is basically our first game and it showed. BA badly needs to get out the WD40 to get rid of the rust. This is not the end of the world guys, there was enough showing to work on. A change of personnel, Gower for Terepo or Alvaro, also wouldn't go astray.

I did not see the game but I would have Gower in my side some where he been our best forward for the last two years and now he cant make the side come on Edwards has not play much in last two years and he in come on
I am critical of Luke Kelly not just on last nights game but his overall game from the time he arrived at Parramatta. He is too slow and doesn't have a clue how to direct a team around the park. His hospital pass to Scott was the icing on the cake for me last night.
Might be a bit harsh but basically we played the first half with one half (Norman) and the second half with none.
Commitment in defence was definitely there and even after the 25 minute mark when it was obvious fatigue had set in with Parramatta they still fought hard in D.
I think Bennett and the Broncos knew our game plan. They knew for 25 minutes we would throw everything at them and they just went with us until we tired then pounced.
Add Foran and Norman to our side and this will bring in some direction and give us the opportunity to mount pressure with repeat seats.
Results will come but considering Peats and Foran hardly trained with the squad all summer its going to take time for our spine to work out combinations.
I personally think last night should have bought a lot of supporters back to earth with our expectations. The Broncos showed us where we need to be to be a top 4 side and in all honesty we aren't there yet. If we can snare 7th or 8th this year then I think that is a great result for the club.
Lets also remember we got outclassed by one of the premierships top 4 sides without our big off season signing and losing our other half as well.
Parra fans have always been whingers, even during the glory days.
I thought considering that early on both our key play makers were taken out for different reason, we faired extremely well against the competition's favorites. We are on the up, so please don't jump on the bullshit band wagon of John's and Paul Kent. Hold your shit together and support these men because trust me they read articles from this site and they deserve support. Support that, they will grow encouragement and will fuel their strength.
I thought we did well considering we had no first choice halves against the almost premiers of 2015.
Beau Scott played like a captain should. He was great. Things look good for the eels, no panic stations yet.
