"Our errors and when we made them was the reason we lost. When you have a ref that loves a set restart (some random for both sides) you are always going to fatigue when you hand over possession so easily."
"This is true . We are also light on a couple of quality forwards but the game has changed. Quality outside backs are worth their weight in gold . Not only can they break a game open they're also asked to solve problems in defence , scramble to save…"

I agree, our outside backs are sub par. However, outside backs are only 1 piece of what the Eels need to become a contender. Throughout the 40 plus years I've followed Rugby League I have never thought or heard that a side has won a premiership…"

"No way Penisini was a 8 point try.
The Volkman hit on Boyd was a BS as the same was left earlier in the game.
Other then that we were just shit"

"...and a forward pack.
Apart from a forward pack, a backline and a half that delivers more than reputation we're pretty right."

"You seem to know what you're talking about Zip, what team would you put on the paddock?"
"Just watched the replay... dear oh dear. Yes we have injuries... but we have a team 50% full of absolute junk. And even without the injuries that would almost still be the case.

Yet if we could of held it together for 15 mins we could of switched the momentum "

"They didn't lose the game because of the Ref. They lost because they were pathetic. Errors upon errors and all those penalties against us were warranted because of stupid players Ryles picks week-in-week-out.

"Owen Pattie on loan would be handy. He's third in line at present for Canberra.
It's a specialist role so the next man up mentality Ryles speaks of would have to be adhered to? It would not be ideal or pretty, anyone but Pezet. "

"Bring in Steve Austin "
"Yep I would have played either Mataele or Brown over Guymer or Pryke. I know Pryke had his errors but he out performance Guymer. Guymer versatility made him come on as he was the only player on the bench that covers back row. I wonder if the play…"
"When there is blatant things like no 8 point try when Penisini hit high as scoring a try, the penalty for attacking kicker that even Ennis couldn't believe and the difference in ruck speed each team was allowed I think Ryles should be questioning…"
"Will is not official as of yet."
"That bench he went with was confusing. Adding more minutes to Paulo. Just go with Mataele and either start Guymer or put him in Cup.

Just can't catch a break with injuries
Ryley gone for a bit i suspect, season done, give the young blokes a go. They tried hard tonight, too many dumb penalties and errors, just lack the class to be competitive. Start planning for next year.

This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
There is a reason he is the first "Champion" of Parramatta. Played in all of our Grand Final wins. One of the all time greats and worthy of Immortal status. I laugh at anyone who knocks him as a goal kicker. He held the all time ARL/NRL point scoring record for years kicking leather balls from sand mounds. More importantly, a champion human being. Great photo Garry.
Also needs to be remembered he didn't start playing NSWRL until he was 26 so his total points scored could have been higher if he started earlier.
