Reading people comments here and other forums the verwhelming majoirty of people feelings are quiet negative and very pessimistic. Being 2-2 with having played 3 best teams in the comp including beating defedning permiers at home . We are just in cluster of teams that need to imrpove but in mix of finals. Our defence and pack in general do derserve cristism but same group players that outplayed Roosters Brsbane Warriors end of last year all with great packs on paper so it for sure in us. Yes we have issue but every team besudes Penrith do
Outside of top 3 teams all others have issues
Roosters fans want Robinson sacked and DCE and Walker cant seem to gel
Souths spine is probably worst in league with old Cody made source of attacl
Knights looked good but 2 best players long term injuries
Tigers have issues Luai and Doeihi as none a true 7 looked best wothout Luai
Dragons are 0-4
Titnas loos bad only win againt 0-4 Dragons
Dogs attack is dreadful again and lack speed and creatvity
Warriors cannot seem to overcome inconsistency utter meltdown last week
Sea Eagles just sacked their coach
Cowboys were few more losses of sacking their coach
Dolphins leak alot of points and attack hasnt been as good
Sharks fans shit all on their team of being stale and Hynes bein biggest waste of money
Roders are 1-3 and mising Fogarty
Just read forums other teams and many think they are rubbish so my point is we are same tier as majoirty of teams in the comp and Penrith is just another level atm even Brisbane looked shaky and Melbroune have fallen asleep lately in 2nd halves. This year will be very close and unpreducble to tip besides Penrith who probably should be handed the trophy now.

The Eels aren't anywhere near as bad as others are making out. The season isn't won in the first 4 games, it's won in the last game.
The Eels are going to be challenged with the loss of players but they are in the hunt and that sounds good to me.
I mean upon reflection, yes and no. I agree some are over the top, but also some are giving great points as to why they are disappointed. It seems the footy gods have given us a sign that we do need a middle urgently as we lose two for the season in back to back weeks.
Had we nabbed Keaon, i wonder how the reactions to the Penrith game would be then.
