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.
Also, if penrith had built their stadium, we would have played the 3 best teams away from home out of 4 games..dont know how that is fair.
when we saw the draw, i think all of us expected to be 1 and 3...
we are 2 and 2..we will improve as the year goes on
great blog and agree with the thinking! 2 and 2 after the teams we have played, and at their home ground, ill take that! as has been said, we all probably thought we would be 1 from 4 at this stage. the next few weeks we havea chance to move up the ladder with teams, if im honest, we would be expected to beat. still have to turn up for these games, but very winnable and could entrench us in the top 8 to hopefully start building our season. get the harder games out of the way early.
We need to be 3 and 2, then 4 and 2 next week against the Titans. We'll be favourites in both games.
The excuse makers are running rampant on the other sites saying Parramatta are a club in crisis on the injury front - thus giving the team an out if we end up 2 - 4 losses - what a farkin joke of a statement.
All clubs have injury issues at this point of the year, We have 2 or 3 max starting players out big woop
Im absolutely sick of the excuse making people. Get a life
tigers usually a tough game on Easter Monday but I think Mitch will step up and get it done. Titans also should be a win
We're favourites. Their main player is out 1. 2 mil Jerome. Their best centre is out. I just wish the excuse makers in the other sites stop giving the club an excuse to fail.
