**live game feed** vs the Eels

[hobbo1]

That game was scripted...
Imagine if Parra had got belted at there new stadium !

That stadium has been ready for ages ...
We were the chosen ones ..

We have a large supporter base and a crap team ....
Go figure !

0-21 second half on its own is poor. Following on from a 6-30 opener reveals a fundamental failure. Where do we go? We’ve got a roster stuffed with poor value Ivan pickups, a worrying lack of depth in key spine positions going forward and a team that is still incapable of stopping the bleeding in games like this.

 

[TIGER]

If ever a player needed to be dropped for lack of effort it’s Russell Packer. Bad all year but absolutely disgraceful tonight. Two runs all match and those two runs were the only time he touched the ball all game. Never once did he put his hand up for a carry while we were getting smashed trying to cart it out of our line. Turned his back on the play during an early parra try. You’d be dropped in under 12’s for that let alone when you’re the highest paid forward and supposed forward leader.

Sure the halves were garbage and not many would argue, but the middle third was disgraced and the poor ruck defence created carnage.

Packer has been a dog since day one, today was next level. Him and Matulino should give the game away, they're milking dollars out of this club while putting in half hearted performances.

 

[cqtiger]

Everything is as it should be.

That tremendous high feeling of last round lasted eleven wonderful days but thankfully the boys set everything right today.

I am quietly confident that we’ll miss the eight now. I will sleep well knowing that everything really is as it should be.

Thanks boys my heart couldn’t take any more high expectations.

 

[Harvey]

That was one of the weakest efforts I have ever seen. Everyone was looking at the bloke next to them to do the hard work. 1% plays, no plan, no direction, no effort.

 

[Peter_B]

@Harvey
Yep. Absolutely disgraceful.

I really think we are over analysing this one guys. Things went from bad to worse after the first tackle. I know it was 50 put on us but I think we can come back from this one.
Really hope Farah is right for Tamworth and probably ET comes back in to settle our Defence at the expense of Garner. He may have won us a game against the Bronx but Chee-Kam can go back to reserves aswell. Our captain still has strapping on his knee , he can’t be right . Got caught on the last again without a clue. Needs time off I reckon.

 

[TYGA]

Throw the game tape away we just did not turn up for the fight today. Similar to the Dogs game at Campbeltown. It is no coincidence we will struggle on dry tracks in the day. We will challenge teams in wet weather or night games when the ball is slippery.

We have to battle hard due to a lack of athleticism and a lack of game breakers. When we don’t we get found out. I wouldn’t make changes based on this performance solely but some players have issues in their game which have to be fixed quickly.

> as the commentators said:
the forwards were expected to do both the offensive and defensive plays of the game...

our backs were non existent.
the forwards were knackered....it was a shambles, no one was organising any thing on the pitch

Probably a good indication of how much Farah organises the middle.
We were simply outplayed today. Losing Farah early and a complex reshuffle meant any semblance of defensive shape was lost.
Add to this conceding a couple of 7 tackle sets leading to a massive drought of possession and we were likely going to get towelled. We were gassed and there's no coming back when the tanks empty.
A couple of poor kick/chases cost us dearly whereas Grub has grabbed us a few repeat sets in previous games. I'm not sure what MCK was thinking with that kick that lead to the Moses try. I like him as a utility but that was poor and started the rot.

 

[JD Tiger]

@851 And watching on Fox via kayo, we never even saw footage of how Farah got his headknock. No idea what happened,

 

[TYGA]

Any team who are willing to play a expansive game will cause us problems our lack of speed is a real issue.
Today our defensive line was shot...some players were rushing up and others were sliding.. there were massive gaps everywhere

Spot on. For us to win we have to turn it into a grind with our forwards dominating. Unless they do it exposes a lack of speed on the edges which, can be exposed. Not sure what the answers are as we just lack athleticism across the park.

Farah or no Farah we were going to get flogged, we we're gone before Farah went off. He would have made no difference at all.

Getting rid of Fonua would be a start, should never see an NRL game in WT colours again.

 

[Telltails]

All our weaknesses exposed today. It was always going to happen just didn't think it would be against Parramatta.
We have little speed in the back line, and Brooks and Reynolds can not run a team without Farah who was missed up the middle in defence. A team without a rudder.

 

[Snake]

Whether or not liked there HAS to be players even contracted tapped on the shoulder and move on even paying a lot of the freight ...there is a LOT of dead wood in this top 30 and it needs to be culled!

 

[JD Tiger]

@Snake And I think the only way out, is to pay overs for one great quality leader. How else do we get one?

 

[matchball]

@Snake I struggle to count on one hand on which players to keep.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

moses is a meat pie champion looks good against average opposition
parra are a tinnie lucky team we just dont aim up on big occasions

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Madge said robbie passed HIA yet was not allowed back on the field.. what the hell

 

[BalmainJnr]

@Snake I know what you mean. I feel like we tried this two years ago and wound up recruiting more of the same types of players.
