"Not always the penalty counts! It depends where exactly the penalty was given, the amount of set restarts and what tackle it's given on, where on the field. Like I said Penrith are experts at it and are able to manipulate the referees exactly when…"
"Yeah worked for the Warriors winning 10-1 penalty count.....oh wait no they lost.
Well I mean Dragons won 10-5 coun....oh they lost too.
Difference is Penrith are just that good and they had on penalty more on Friday night."

"I've already suggested we start DeBelin for the reasons mentioned in this blog. Anyone else got some solutions? I think junior's reached the end as being a starting prop and the Dylan walker starting at lock isn't it either."

"So the solution is control the ruck and line speed? Pretty hard to do when the referee is waving his hands in the air like he just don't care. Improvement for us needs to come from better 1st contact. We haven't been great in this area, particularly…"

"Thanks Mutts, I did. But it was only after looking at the patterns and zones in Foxs' match graphs over the last few weeks. Then, I heard Reni Matua mention "death zones" to Braith Anasta in their podcast, and it all crystalized.

We Don’t Lose Games in Moments. We Lose Them in Minutes.
It's all about cohesion, chaos and death zones. Our defence sits dead last at round five. Our middle concedes the most tries of any team. 40 percent of our tries are leaked there. Why? Ah, yes. Our rituals say Mark O’Neill is the reason. No, the…

Congratulations Michael Ennis!
It'd be poor form if we didn't show appreciation for those who have represented the Mighty Eels in some capacity. Former Eels specialist Hooking coach Michael Ennis was instrumental in helping the likes of Josh Hodgeson & Brendan Hands reach the…

Hail the Visconti
Flegg beat the Tigers today 30-4. Partly due to a magnificent display from starting prop Zack Visconti which earned him Man of the Match. What a performance he gave. He started with a bandaged right thigh and limped at times, but you would have…

For those who continue to suck off BA, please see the below FACTS and please explain your unwaivering support of this coaching clown.
1. Sit 8th by a miracle 12pts -23 F/A
2. Worst defence in the comp -296 points.
3. We’ve won 6 lost 7 but let’s see who we’ve beaten and where they sit on the ladder.
Panthers 10pts, played them back into form a few weeks back, sitting in 14th currently.
Saints 10pts lost 5 on the trot, sitting in 13th
Dogs 6pts, running dead last 16th
Tigers 12pts, playing like bustards coming 10th
Sharks 16pts, decimated by injury when we played them round 4, sitting 6th currently.
Rabbits 20pts, decimated by injury and origin last week, sitting in 2nd currently.
Now in all honesty, looking at the above FACTS, how anyone can claim that we are going ok so far beggars belief. Only a complete nuffy with zero idea of rugby league could state otherwise. We’ve only beaten sides below us in the ladder or sides not able to field a competitive side and depleted because of injury/origin.
We are going like bustards and tbh, only a few more bad games away from sliding down the ladder to where we rightfully belong. BA will not turn the side around any time soon, I just can’t see it.
Combine that with our stats last year that were the worst in the clubs history, its just diabilical that this man still mas a job.
Theres zero accountability at the club, even after a bullshit review nothings changed.
Wheres all the unicorn dopes who argued what great results we'd have this year because of it?
The whole review finding came down to the conclusion that it was Corey Norman's fault we were running dead last.
Worst defence last year, worst defence this year.
Our form so far is like having fallen from the Sydney Harbour Bridge having avoiding being killed on impact, not been eaten by the sharks and not drowning we've found a bundle of $1000 to spend on booze, coke and hookers.
We won't stay there unless our defence improves. And could even win another spoon.
Because all 19 wooden spooners, from 2000, have all been in the bottom four defensive teams - and at the end of R13 we have the 2nd worst defence in the competition.
Our defence is now worse than last year (conceding 22.7ppg versus 21.7ppg) when we won the spoon.
In round 6 we were coming 5th and had conceded 97 points (16.2 ppg). The best start since 1986 with the 3rd best defence, and 2nd best attack. That's where you have to be to win a premiership. Since 2000, 15 out of last 19 grand finals were won by top 3 defences (14 of those are top 2), or the top 3 attacks with reasonable defence (Cowboys 2015, Tigers 2005, Penrith 2003, Knights 2001).
The wheels have fallen off. And we are now a long way off the pace.
It really ain't looking good going forward. WTF is wrong with this club. Year after year it's the same thing over & over. We change coaches, we change players, we even change the board but the same result. What the hell is in the drinking water in Parramatta. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
9 lives gone. Thank you Tigers
