When are they going to get it right?

I've been an eels supporter since I was about 5, watched the greats during the 70's and 80's and that was pretty much the last time we had a great halves combination. Only on a couple of occasions have we had a halves combo in the last 15 or so years that looked like we had finally found it, when like usual their supposed potential never lived up to expectation. Now normally I support the team through thick and thin but I'm getting frustrated at the excuses given as to why they don't play to their supposed potential. I think our forwards would be annoyed as they seem to do their best to lay a platform on which to attack only to be let down time and time again by the halves not showing any direction around the park with poor attacking options, kicking and 5th tackle options. No wonder Jarryd Hayne takes on more than he should in the kicking department. I know many of you would agree that with no decent halves combo = no direction, no attack, no points and no premiership and I think it as simple as that. That's why I ask " When are they going to get it right? "

"First game against them the wingers both made poor defensive issues to let in tries. Plus Samrani got burnt by McLean, hope thats been addressed. we were in that game till late, gave away dumb penalties.
I think Simonsson will come in late"
