Dear Wests and St Merge

On behalf of everyone here at the Eels, we congratulate you on your recent achievements. 1000 choke threads, and no one mentions us anymore.

Kind regards,

Nobody expects Parra to do anything, everyone knows they will just continue to fail.

I was amazed last night they got every call in the first 60 minutes. The refs/NRL did all they could to get them over the line.

100% a choke, hell even we could learn a thing or two about chokes from the tigers effort last night.

The Tigers defence is pathetic. They might have excellent attacking abilities but they can't tackle for shit!

The Tigers got most of the 50/50 calls and the Warriors still won. Next week they might get more of the penalties. Watch out Storm.

I wont say choke.

I will say however it was 1 of the most deplorable ref performances i have seen in my lifetime against 1 team, and they still managed to win. Rather than be negative, ill say bloody brilliant effort warriors!

for sure. benji runs it on the last with three minutes to go and knocks on at halfway when the opposition are making 60-70 metres a set with ease?

love the tigers, but they got 99% of the calls last night, and they'll have to wear it on this one.

IMO the blame for that play should go to Farah. He should have immediately gave the ball to Marshall or immediately kicked. Instead he took 3-4 steps and by doing that he cut down the time Marshall had to make a good decision. It is little things like that Farah needs to get out of his game, it seems to occur in these big games or big situations.

Moreso Farah's fault on running the ball

I have come to the conclusion Tim Sheens master coach is a myth. His coaching tactics and use of substitutes is not very good and cost them the game last night imo. On the 60min mark you could see Farrah was gone. He was exhausted and gave away a penalty at the play of the ball, couldn't mark up for the Warriors soft try on the line and became ineffective for the last 20mins of the game.If he had been subbed at the 55min mark and brought back on after a 10min rest we might have seen a very different result.

''The fact they kept going for the two points and went for a field goal before half-time gave us confidence. Maybe they thought they were going to win 13-12 but we knew we had points in us.''

Maybe Robbie should change his restaurant's name to 'Karma'.

Do teams simply not lose anymore? Why is it always a choke?

Makes no sense at all.

The Warriors recovered well from last weeks embarrassment and won a game they went given much chance of winning.

Yet many of you clowns can't seem to get past calling their victory the result of a Tigers choke.

Poor form.

Hi did the play the full 80, but he became ineffective after 60. A good coach would have seen it and given him a spell, Sheens didn't and it was a massive factor in them losing that game imo.
