For defence in no.1 however there is only so much you teach someone with regards to defending. Basically you've either got it or you don't. As far had having bad reads on defending, this can be coached and improved upon but again there's only do much
1) lost to manly over goal kicking and poor refereeing2) vs bulldogs same again3) vs tigers. Scored 4 tries to 3 still managed to lose??4) beat 6 of the top 8 teams5) lost 5 times to teams outside the top 8 (knights twice ffs)6) finished the season w
The Parramatta Eels have gone down 33-20 against the Canberra Raiders. A second half blitz from Jarryd Hayne wasn't enough to drag the Eels over the line.
With the curtain now drawn of Parramatta's season, it's time to look back over just what happen
The last two games have shown the frailties of the team and BA's inexperienced. He has no doubt excel with the team and achieved a commendable position but don't be fooled, next year will not be a straight up semi final walk up for the eels!We have s
You can't expect to Winifred your defence is shithouse. It needs tightening big time. BA - work on the defence. We can score tries but don't let them in. Jack Gibson turned a shithouse roster into a brick wall in his first gig. Take a leaf out of his
Team of 1 eyed eels here in Papua New Guinea upset after loss but happy we reliquished the spoon. Definately last two games were dissapointing but we remain Blue & Gold. A quick summary of thought: Release Joseph Paulo; Radradra to tighen up defence,
For mine we played the perfect game just before the start of the finals. Our forwards went forward, our halves took on the line, and our backs stood tall. Next week in the finals they'll be playing the Broncos after finishing 3rd on the ladder and if
I know how most people on this site feel about Joseph Paulo, but I'd like the following to be considered. It is not Paulo the player that is the issue. It is Paulo's role that is the problem. In his role he is probably handling the ball more than any
It's well and good when parra gets these 20min bursts. However when they don't things turn pear shaped.BA really needs to coach them on the simple things rugby league so when things aren't going all gang busters they have something to fall back on.5t
Let's face facts. Parramatta, courtesy of the evidence from its for and against, has proven that attitude or mental application, is its greatest problem. To my way of thinking, recruitment of key personnel from a winning club, and probably in the for
I think the thing we're most pissed off about is they way in which we lost the last two matches with the season on the line. Some the soft tries we have let in the last 2 rounds is not good.
Wow, what an inept performance to say the least. Two weeks in a row with a chance to play finals footy and we come up with that crap. I was at the game tonight but thank Christ I made a family holiday of it! I feel sorry for the people who travelled
Now that we are out .. Will the eels wrap him up in the next couple of weeks..I don't want him to test the market. So I'm hoping the eels can sign him up in the next few weeks... This time it should be a 3 or 4 year deal...?
Perhaps the timing of my below comments is not ideal, considering the level of disappointment felt by all Parra supporters at the moment. But, now that the season is over, I have a yearning to vent myself.
"Brisbane's play the ball speed was quicker, but later on we got control of the ruck, poking our nose through and getting on our elbows for quick play the balls, Brisbane were out on their feet. Tawha was having a tough time keeping up and Mam…"
"Reckon they give their players a few weeks to get fit enough to do their job in Penrith? Hell, everyone on this site would go into meltdown if we signed Leka, but Webster has him on the bench because of standards. Kautoga isn't a first grader, it…"
"Kautoga started the same last season, everyone wanted him out of the team. By the end of the year he was our most dangerous attacking weapon, and was hitting hard in defence. Give him time, he will come good."
"Irvine was a far better winger than Johnson. You could probably count on one hand how many tries Johnson created for himself, the majority were handed to him on a platter. Irvine could, and did, score a lot of long range tries with his speed and…"
