Why the f$#k is everyone surprised?

Psycologically no team on this earth, in any sporting code, is as culturally weak and as mentally inept in building any sort of winning culture like the Eels.We are not only a laughing stock in the NRL but the entire sporting world.Even when we were winning by 24 points I knew like most supporters that somehow we will stuff it. I wasn't shocked. I didn't even get upset tonight. I'm now immuned to what the Eels dish out.Maybe there a some benefits for us Eels fans - I like to think it makes us mentally stable in the real world because we can handle all sorts of shit!

  • Its true. I was watching it with mates and they were saying we had it i  the bag. I said but for some reason Parra cant close out a game. Next thing three tries in very little time brought the Cowboys back into it. It just seems that when points are scored against us that the players go in to shock and switch off....

  • You are right mate, I honestly thought that the cowboys would come back and wasn't surprised at all when they did.
  • I was watching with my old man and when we went 30-6 up i said we should go for a field goal so they would need 5 converted tries. Isnt this sad that we think this way? I was excited for next year but im starting to wonder if we will ever have a winning culture. We always seem to lose when it seems impossible to lose. 2001 gf, 2005prelim, etc & now tonight, the most embarrassing moment ive had as an eels supporter. Gutted
    • I thought the same thing. Field goal when we were 24 points up!
  • Very therapeutic.
    All together now:

  • Yep, no matter the lead, you're expecting to lose. And quite surprised when we jag a win.. Pathetic
  • Im making no excuse, but it was merely a question I asked myself.

    Which would you prefer or are they both the same.

    leading at half time 30-6 and losing 36-30

    or

    Trailing 30-6 and losing 36-30

    I think Id be pissed with the last one ie getting off to a bad start. But it would be better than the first option.

    Who am I kidding, both are crap.

    • Mate stop! Slap yourself hard.
      This exactly what the Eels can do to you - f#*k with your brain!
  • Hahaha  Dont worry, its not the Unicorn coming out, he's gone at least til Friday.

    Oh what could have been if only we won......

  • well said champion, what a bunch of LOSERS!!
