  Well last week everything was looking good.

  At half time yesterday, some were saying they should take a break on the central coast every week.

  We all know that this place turns after a loss, so we're in for a cracker of a week.

  Personally, I blame Monto. Obviously he made a different wish when blowing out his candles. I just hope he can live with himself. :)

    Just look at Ryan Morgan. He was responsible for at least 2 of the try's last night. Probably more tho

    I must be watching a different game.

    Did you see

    Manu after he scored or his runs? Hardly an I dont give a fk attitude.

    Semi running like a forward?

    Tepai getting smashed?

    Peats throwing himself into tackles 

    and Manah charging into a rep forward pack and most times pushing through.

    I agree that last year we appeared that way, but I think that is one place we have changed. 

    The guys do give a fk and thats why they look more devastated after the game than previous years.

    But some of them are checking out 15 mins early, extremely disheartening for the the guys who you mentioned who are putting in for the 80mins, we have will hoppa who is cleaning up for the fullback and defining like a winger all because he has to carry for other players. Most of th team is run ragged and switches off mentally. We used two players off the bench after 70mins. If I was alvaro I would be absolutely pissed at how I was used off the bench!

  It was in response to iweel and his 'I dont give a fk attitude' comment.

  This looks more like a response to losing a GF than not caring or clocking off early. The last few minutes we regained composure again. it was the 10-20min in the middle of the 2nd half that killed us.

  The dragons had 'bash sessions' once a week in the preseason. Game intensity, hits on. It would best serve parra near the end of a training session, when fatigue has set in.
  
  The rabbitohs have a pre season ritual where they get into groups and have bags of rice that they had to separate the brown from the white, then they had to shape the rice into a rabbit, all while listening to glory glory to South sydney. It would go for hours. Parramatta would best benefit from this or something similar, a mental and physical torture session that will help the players stay in the game mentally, whilst engraving a sense of parramatta eels culture into the players.
