Cory Norman said in an interview we have lost 3 matches scoring the same amount of tries but conceding penalties. I checked the stats and the story ain’t pretty: the Eels have conceded 12 from 12 penalty goals, and kicked 0 from 0 penalty goals!
For me Moses has been the biggest disappointment this year. After a great World Cup we expected so much from him, even Fittler was hinting he may be the new NSW no.7, and I thought he would go to the next level.
Brad Arthur has failed in his attempt to improve our forward roster, and it has been well documented that the Parramatta pack is by far the smallest and lightest in the NRL - it's the major reason we aren't competing. Its not possession or referees,
With 0 and 5 start, top 4 finish in 2017 a disappointment is an understatement. Let's state a fact, had Parramatta failed to make the semi's last year Arthur I believe would've been sacked this morning. Fact we made top 4 last year has saved him, and
Watching nrl360 and talking about the cowboys. In the grand final not so long ago and with the quality of the players there, only 1 win......Not as grim as the eels!I'll be there saturday.
I have a different view on Sunday’s game as I thought we matched them in the forwards. Not talking statistically or anything but my observation is that they didnt dominate us in that area and I think we got over the advantag line at least as well as
Jack Wighton is expected to be named in Ricky Stuart's preliminary 21 man squad this Tuesday ahead of his side's clash with the Parramatta Eels on Saturday night despite the Raiders fullback being charged with nine offences.
okay 44 points in 5 games.. so where are we going to get points from to make the 8? I know for a fact not gutho especially coming back from a ACL injury he might not be the same as last year.... what now???
Who should replace triple A - Lilkely to be out with a knee injury
Davis - Bev would make an odd couple on the left. Reckon that might be our best bet - Davis centre and Bev wing could complement each other’s weaknesses
Tim Mannah needs to go, drop him to reserve grade and move matagi into the team as he plays with grunt and aggression, which is what our forward packs needs at the moment.
How can our halves dominate a game when our forwards are being steam rolled every game?
Our forwards look tiny compared to any other pack in the comp, we don't need to have the best forwards in the comp to win games, but having the smallest, least ef
Okay guys we are 5 rounds in and let's look at how our forwards are competing against each other, I will separate middle forwards and Edge forwards and divide in to offense and defence.
5 weeks into the competition and we are down for the count and unlikely now to make the finals. We have nothing to show for the effort thus far....and come to think of it, the effort has been very poor and the delivery even poorer.
Storm have confirmed Xavier will miss 3 months after getting surgery for an achillies issue. That's why Storm have been trying to apply the blowtorch 🤣🤣
"This is how much the NRL looks after the "glamour" clubs. Shibasaki, current SOO and Australian rep, is on a miserly $140k this year. How does the NRL accept this."
"He will fight for the vacant Port Kembla Heavyweight title and make a motza in pay-per-veiw...because everyone hates him now and watching him take some head-shots would be cathartic....villans get paid."
