If some of you people can check in your hipocracy after last week, it may be you will be able to see your own biases.
Have a read of what Pro Daz said about scapegoats. You called it well Daz and it showed up how people change given circumstances and whinging.
I suggested we would possibly not win another game this year, but it does not stop me from supporting them. Most of our stalwarts were in that position and a week is a long time when you have blue and gold blood.
I would like to say that our middle is much more capable than we have given credit for. We played like a hunting pack and moved up behind Moses kicks in the backline and some of you owe an apology or two to Junior and JDB. Of course MON has been extended for 10 years with options, but everyone now supports that and the ones that said Jason Ryles cannot coach are out in their backyards looking for holes to hide in BUT we all know "they will be back" wagging their tales behind them.....next time!
Moses literally strangled/suffocated them to death, those Dog forwards must have been sick and tired turning around after Moses kicked them to death.
Look nobody expected us to win that, and I didn't bet on the game, but I would not of backed us with gifted money, styles of play that various teams play makes a big difference to our team.....we currently struggle against any team with pace and dogs showed today they are short in that respect.
Regards to Mallee57 who put shit on us all week as part of his coming on to this site, knocking everything he could about the coach and admin staff......a week in a Rugby League comp is showing up like a week in politics........ back to the Kennell for you Mallee and a special call out to Sir Col The Mushroom (up in the sky) who was a great character and had some wonderful relationships with the Dog's supporters.
Some one said Parramatta is a boring side, not bloody likely, we are rocks and diamonds but never its ever a boring experience supporting Parramatta.

Hell Yeah Hector!!!
Their first contact was the best we have seen in 2026. No coincidence they mostly kept the Dogs to their own half. Big lesson right there.
I also thought Pryke was an effective tackle machine, Maetele hit hard, and Williams-Guymer and Paulo were more solid on edge and in middle defensively. Lots of obvious lessons. Tackle hard and swarm in defense and anything can happen
What a difference it is to have a referee who doesn't nit pick with 6 agains. Both teams fought 'til the end, didn't have to fight fatigue for long periods. I wouldn't mind betting the ref will get dropped next week for going against protocol.
Pops, what a win. Some great points here as always.
Blown away by the Eels defence especially - the 1%ers - kick chase, line speed, contact, and our work from marker, no one was switching off & the effort was huge for 80mins.
The middle: As you know, I've been very critical of our middle in starts to games, well Pops, my hand is up today - they were brilliant. Paulo, Moretti, JDB - all great.
Do have to ask though, it's round 7, where's it been? Whats the difference? The way the ruck / 6 agains were refereed likely made a big impact there?
Let's hope the NRL continues this way.
Pops, I know there was a lot of negativity & criticim here after last week, and to a point I can understand that - the Titans game was inexcusable & today just proves it?
In saying that I hope JR has put his critics to rest, today was a huge test & he again proved what he's capable of - now let's get him a roster that can compete & see what he can do. Su'a is a great start.
Good blog Pops, stoked for the club, coaches, players & fans today - we needed it.
Fantastic win! Junior rolled back the clock and Mitch suffocated the attack with long kicks every single time.
Ryles will be a much happier man. Really proud of the team! What a win!! Thank god the refs were finally told to stop deciding the games with 6 again calls.
FWIW the issues with the management are still very much an issue and will be until they're fixed Pops. 😉 But that's a convo for another day, for tonight it's all about celebrating the win.
Go Parra!
