Just One of those Nights

There has been a lot of blogs about the coach, Gutho and robbo, our forwards etc. If you want to analyse our teams chances on this one game you will certainly not have much good to report. Most of you on this blog would have played some sport and know there are just some days that don't work out. This was one of them and it's unlikely it will be repeated anytime soon. Two drop balls on the first coming off our line, a forward pass from dummy half, a kick out on the full, lots of simple drop balls under no pressure, lots of silly penalties and our dummy half off the field injured is just the start.

Comments about Gutho don't make sense to me as we know he is not an organiser and we need a running 5/8. We didn't get deep enough into our sets after the first 20 to actually give the backs any opportunities. There was no pressure and no flow and the boys never left first gear after the first 20. Will we play like this again? Maybe.... but I doubt anytime soon. Back the coach and the boys. we will be back and yes a bloke called Corey Norman will help the cause.

I said it before and our record proves it, Titans are our bogie side.
99% of the comments are made with hate behind them only becouse of a loss.
We will learn and be better that's what we all like about parramattas coach and attitude.
No one expected that to happen I bet a lot of people got there tip wrong this week and Sportsbet employees all got a pay rise.

The side played poorly but all is not lost . Players like will smith , aavau etc will make a difference . Dropped ball and errors beat us .

Wipe it off and get ready for sharks

100% James. No need to read much into that game. It's pretty apparant that this side lacks direction without Norman. The problem with Jeff Robson as a backup halfback is that he can't kick and it was actually Gutherson who did most of the kicking last night. On top of that we played absolute crap and it's apparant that some players were thinking about the first drink at Melbas and probably the nice lap dance they were going to get after.

  I'll be there & I except a spirited & a much more polished effort from the team, can't wait

I honestly thought the whole compressed defense style we played killed us..Taka and Hoffman kept getting found out big time... lesson learnt we are not a team that can rest players (now anyway)we need everyone on the field, bring on next week the season isn't over lol.

  Very true the difference between their best and worst is only slight and Bellamy wouldn't tolerate in any way, shape or form what we dished up last night. Bottom line is if we are to make the finals we need to win all of the games we are expected to win. Last night was a game we were expected to win. Oh well, move on to next week versus the sharkies.

  Take out Cameron Smith and how do the storm go? Take out Thurston from Cowboys and similar. Our current squad needs Norman for direction. He'll be back and we'll be back

  I say do whatever it takes to get back foz, peatsy, haynsy and paulo.

Always better to get a loss like that out of your system early in the year as the bounce back is more probable (penrith ).
Sometimes a coach and his team can learn more from a loss. There will be some soul searching, BA will put a bomb up his players arse. Next week will be back to getting the basics right and the mighty EELS will be feasting on flake

Horrible game where they never got out of first gear but shit happens. It happens to everyone. They'll be firing again next week. But I'd be be giving fogarty a run to see how he goes. Robson tried but he offered little in attack when we needed something. Time for the fog....maybe he'll be a revolution.
