I honestly think last nights game was all she wrote for Parramatta. They were brave in parts and broken in others. Too many pea sized hearts on that team.
If they had have won the game, it would be a different story, but the fact they self destructed SO badly i think is the nail in their coffin for this year, particularly after weeks of heartbreaking losses.
If we want to prove ourselves, we need to get like the Rabbitohs and start SMASHING teams. The Penrith game we fired some warning shots over the bow, with three missed ops for Utai, which would have padded the score out to 44-50 points to 18\. A completely different complexion when you look at it like that.
Three players need to be shut down IMO, and a couple need to be made disinterested.
Luke Burt, Matt Damon (Matt Keating) and Fui Fui need to be shut down - Burt can lift his team, and Keating has the potential to be sneaky around the ruck, where Fui just seems to love to play us no matter what.
Hayne and Hindmarsh don't need to be shut down as such, just need to be made "disinterested"
If we can score a cheap penalty off hindmarsh and push Haynes buttons, then roll some quick points on, we won't see much from those two, and in the case of Hayne, he'll start forcing passes, and generally getting the poos.
These guys are capable of beating us, however they are also capable of falling into a heap.
