We lost In Golden point with 3 fowards missing and 6 players making their Eels debut. Also bombed a try with Brown foward pass. Even the try's we conceded one from Munster was just amazing skill and Grant one was due to exhaustion.
Once Lane Matterson come back make a world of difference.
Also Panthers lost, Cowboys just won so we not that far off.

Not a great weekend for the family
First we go down then our dads loose.
I'm not panicking till rd 6 there been said there is no way a Brad Arthur team wins a comp
They've been loose for awhile now.
lol, complete squad of loose units
I see what I did there
Not panic but concern. Agree we down troops but our Coach does not evolve with the game unfolding. Leaving Maka with 0mins Wirremu 14 mins is crazy stuff, Bunnies started with 20yr old Davvy Moale last night, 150 odd metres.
Mataele is like Hopgood in attitude, Trey Mooney bring him back, or get some experience Prop on the bench
either split Reg n Junz or better manage Prop rotation.
15 & 1/2 players just won't cut it, did this last year too
Exactly, for whatever reason he loves playing with only 16 players - bet his players aren't fans.
Well said Marty exactly what I thought about Thursday's game
We played well and competed well. We defended well. I agree. Our execution was a little off but it is game one. Long way to go. Would have been a different result if Moses and Brown didn't go missing and actually took control. Given the number of newbies we had and the number of players back for their first game after returnihng from injury, I think the performance was encouraging and far more promising than many are saying.
Next week we play sharks at home, won't be easy after they lost yesterday.
Then we play Manly at Brookie - again won't be easy.
Then it's the defending premiers at commbank so wouldn't surprise me if we are 0-4 after 4 rounds.
Then Roosters at Allianz.
Next week v Cronulla with no Hynes is massive for us. We lose that then we head to Brookvale with Manly off a bye and Turbo there could be bad.
Win v Cronulla is crucial.
