Settle down and take a deep breath

There seems be a bit of panic and confusion how parra can go from 3 wins in a row to a massive defeat. Before people start calling for mass changes and sack the coach as they usually do after a loss, take a breath.People need learn relax a bit. As a parra fan I've grown used to whole seasons of defeat so don't understand why people are so worried after every loss. We are still in the top 8.OK we are not a top 4 team as some thought before season (I thought that was ambitious anyway) but we are a 6-10 ladder team but hopefully in the 8. We have had massive injury concerns, semi concern as well as Moses will he won't he join us this season sagas yet performed alright. We have only had our full spine on field for handful of games and BA is trying fill gaps with more signings for next year.Any team with that little possession in first half would be beaten. We only had 8 sets to their 24. They also only made couple errors all game as well. Parra just need make finals as a pass mark I think yet if we get there we have team that will worry our opponent and this could be boosted further with French and moses if he comes.So even though I'm angry and upset as all true parra fans are we don't need masses changes.Looking into it ibeleive French would be fit so we probably trained as such so would explain some of the poor execution. Also everyone loved a'vavua a couple weeks ago but if Moses joins us his defence is not good enough with Moses beside him.Another factor was week off for rep round. We got beaten kin first 15.*mins then it was too hard to come back against side like roosterIt is not time to panic as an eels fan.We are in the 8 peopleCHILL THE F##K OUT

We need the stable strong smarts of Cooper Cronk for one or two seasons to lead our squad between the ears. We don't have such a player on our books. Bring Cronk to lead Norman, Gutho, Moses and co for one or two seasons and let them learn everything from Cronk before he retires. And we need to keep Semi. Roosters have big, fast, strong athletic wingers, centres and forwards and a spine full of gutsy strong pocket battleships. We are not far off but we are not yet in the same class. We still need to buy two big powerful mobile props and one winger and center emulating something similar to what the Roosters currently have in their outside backs and we have the cap space and lots of 2017 off contract players to make all this happen. We need a real tough smart and classy general. We currently do not have one.

"Yes we are building, that is my point, we are building but potentially we could take a step back in 2027 if our solution at 6 is a rookie with no first grade experience or very little. "

"Gus has been sorting his spine since 21'. Five years. We've almost sorted ours in a year or so. JR isn't blind: he's looking for a long-term six. Right now.
Who? Lorenzo, Pap, Risati, a recruit. Not sure. I love Paps. Hope he stays. But Risati seems…"

I agree midget, but the Eels are not in the top 8 they are now 9th based on for and against! They were + 6 prior to today's game but now - 30 something (I think).

Don't mind if we lose, I do mind when we lose my almost 40 poinys. We've been in every game this year except that not. I'm glad mannah referred to the performance as embarrassing because it was that and then some.

Yes it was a demoralising lost. i have a feeling it may take a few weeks to build back the confidence. I expect another few losses at least until Corey is back.
