Has it starched us for adversity ? Has it improved our fitness ? Has Parramatta finally fixed the generations of a soft underbelly issue ? Is BA finally proving to his critics he can coach ? Or do we need to wait until September to prove he's a better coach than Shane Flanagan or Madge ? This ain't a " I told you BA can win a comp " thread as I'll be the first to admit I've said we are a proven bought superstar off being a premiership winning team . But fuck me if he hasn't got this mob transformed into being a serious contender.
BA nailed it in the presser when he said in past times we'd have lost that game tonight.

Wiz, TBH i was concerned when not using ther bench all the time previously, but i am now ok with it. Of course people will question BA when we lose a game and use this as ammunition but i guess we need to trust the coaching staff.
Our resilience today was superb, with injures and also with the Tits only giving away a single penalty....and the Junior tackle seems to have been a joke. And we won.
Holbrook won the penalties after his carry on in round one but lost the game....
Agree with the penalty count having a lot to do with Holbrooks carry on after the first game. Eels are in the top for not giving away penalties but last night it ends up 10 to 1. I'm glad the refs still didn't get to collect on their bet.
Yeah, glad the NRL lost their money on the Titans!
Interesting analogy Grunts....no one seems to have made mention of Mitch Rein....I think he looked ok, good passes from DH and the half break he made he ended up losing control of the ball, but the guy is a very handy back up and is looking to be an astute buy.....he gave that 15 minute break to Reed .....I notice someone made the comment that him and Simmonsson were Reserve Graders.....that person does no value to the numbers he represents and like many on here would not know "shit from clay".
I'll own it Poppa. I said Mitch and Carty were reserve graders - shit. But said Simonsson played well - clay. I was harsh on Mitch and Carty, I'll admit that.
Rein, 19 mins, 11 tackles, 0 miss, 1 error
Carty 51 mins, 15 tackles, 1 miss (on Fifita), 1 offload, 0 errors
On that basis Carty was disciplined and Rein did exactly what he was went to - top up Reeds fuel tank
I probably mixed it up, I remember who ever said it had a date in their name, and I thought simmo was mentioned. My apologies 86 and I thought you were tough on Rein, poor old Carty is always subjective. That said your normally a good judge...... as for Grunt's comment, if you have a potato for a brain you can think what you like....i.e. Grunta says no one mentioned Rein, but the title of the blog was "using the bench".... you are becoming a bigger dumarse everytime you smoke that grass on your Nimbin property Grunta!
Well you would have more experience than most with that spelling dummy!
Too soon, I'm waiting for September when it really counts. The unicorn's can enjoy the foreplay for now
September is all that counts mate.
Leave the lube and licorice condoms for the snorkel blowers.
Premiership time, not ohhhhhhhhh well so close again.
Mick and Bert, unless you enjoy the foreplay, then there is no point playing the game.....I can understand Mick, he has never won anything other than a trans role at Will Smith's fightnight but Bertie, you know what its like to warm it up!
Mick waiting till September.....that's a hell of a lot of wanking in the interim Mick....maybe you can take up sewing for 6 months....You can make new outfits for Snakette!
