There is no team like Parramatta who can clutch defeat from the Jaws of Victory by just making dumb plays.
Rule 1 when playing at night or in the wet you need screw in studs. How often do we see Parramatta players falling over due to no grib
Rule 2 when a player is sent to the bin you do not waste time taking the 2 points and then given up 100 metres and as usual possession. This is then time to make the other team work hard with just 12 men
Rule 3 with 6 minutes to go and 10 metres out you do not kick the ball on the 4th tackle
Rule 4 wingers stop panicking and rushing in but rather slide in defence how the hell can a team score against you out wide when they area a man short.
Rule 5 when you get constant rubbish refereeing calls you can see that the Fullback can not be the captain and the captain needs to be under constant threat of being binned. Please have a 1/2 back or hooker as captain.
Rule 6 when your half is out injured you do not move your 5/8 to half and change the side of the field he plays it disrupts both your attack and defence.
Rule 7 when you have a team that wins SG ball they need then to all stay together and win Jersey Flegg. This develops both a winning culture as well as a team that want to play together in the same club going forward. Parramatta especially needed to do this as we have a losing culture. Our reserves where also winning with a few minutes to go and could not ice the game.
this was game that should never have been lost.
