in the big scheme of things a loss to South's in rd 24 of a season where we aren't making the finals or doing anything of note isn't a big deal, but need to rectify the issues that keep appearing and learn from them. Team should be looking forward to testing themselves v the roosters.
Look I'm livid over the loss too but come on, against Brisbane and Melbourne that effort was there. One bad loss and everything is rubbish and everyone says spoon.
Moses was right, wrong mentality. It is not good enough but we as a team are still bottom 4 level at this stage. Move on and improve. Yeah there are green shoots but long way to go. Moses though no excuse.
Eels played against Souths like they expected an easy win and that's why Ryles ( really stupid) put Joash at 6 instead of Hawkins who is more stable and calmer. Moses was terrible as was most of the team
Think you hit the nail on the head CE. Listening to the presser, Moses himself said they came in with the wrong mindset.
My guess is they've half clocked off for the year and are busy planning their mad monday rather than ending the season on an upward trajectory.
Until they get some proper experienced signings, I think there is going to be more and what small highlights of talent there are will be quick to sign elsewhere

When we look bereft against a NSW cup level side things are not fucking good. We ran out of ideas against a team that had no clue

That goes on Ryles if you ask me. It's the coaches job to mentally prepare them for matches.
I think he sent the wrong signal dropping hawkins
