Parra tend to lift against the Dogs and Tigers. I’m not sure if they’ll cause an upset, but they’ll play a heck of a lot better than they did over the weekend
 

This Year?

Eels need 1 or 2 more wins to get away from the spoon zone. The Bulldogs might relax thinking this will be an easy win.
This game has the potential to appease the chaos gods.

Lmao a side that would miss the finals in NSW Cup, plus Moses and JAC.

Throw in a shit coach and this is gonna be Gina Rhinehart scissoring with her indentured house ginger ugly.

Bulldogs by 40+ and only that low because their attack is generally mud.

I feel like this game should always be played at Accor due to the potential large crowd.

Nah Parramatta fans are deflated after last week and the injuries! Commbank is just right for this one.

Parramatta will lift for this game... Hopefully the Dogs don't take them easy because no team is!

Lol Ryles or the clubs solution to the current crisis? Get the old boys in the sheds again!

I sometimes think we're actually not going to be able to recover as a club until those poor old 80s merkins have shuffled off

First step is change the Insipid R&R team , who are both from the Tigers and appear happy if the Eels end up as the Tigers were in their era.

Yep. Tbh they should have gone before BA, IMO. The CEO maybe too. He seems good at business generally but bad at running an actual football club

But deadset I also just sometimes wonder if we're not so mired to the past that we won't move on until there's no past to bring back up. Every time we suck they're wheeling out poor Pricey and Bert from their respective dementia wards to talk about how they won in the 80s. Leave the old fellas in peace and start thinking about we win in the future!

Only really interested to see how Leo Thompson goes. His form really dipped for Newcastle last year and the Dogs payed way overs for him on potential. Will be interested to see how many minutes he can punch out and how the coaching staff use him.
