So Parra scored 3 tries against both Melbourne and the Cowboys. In Week 1, two were against 12 men and the other a fluke off a blatant forward pass. In Week 2, two were lucky tries that the Cowboys set up for them and the other came in garbage time after getting knife-raped by a team of cripples.

What a f**king useless club of geniuss Parramatta is. Never win, can't even cheat right and when they finally fluke their way into the finals on the back of the softest run in 109 years, they bottle it and lose comprehensively in straight sets.

How tragic of a club must you be if getting within two points of Melbourne (two tries against 12 men, the other a fluke/forward pass) is your greatest achievement since the 80's.

You could also set the record for most points scored by a team in a season and still not win the premiership


Wait what

Losing to both of this year's grand finalists by a combined ten points was a solid effort for a team that hasn't played finals footy in eight years. This is the start of something great for the Eels. Exciting times. We'll be back next year with literally double the finals experience (38 games total to 76 or 77 depending on Kane Evans).

I'm looking forward to the future so much I don't feel the need to troll opposition fans. ;)

The most satisfying thing for me watching this great cowboys victory ( I gave them no chance) is peter sterling say sweet f**k all for nearly the entire second half. He dropped a bundle on,that game for sure. f**king suck it good ya piece of shit.

Why'd you give them no chance after beating the premiers the previous week? They had a dozen premiership winners in their 17.

Matt Scott
Starting prop for QLD
Starting prop for Aust .
Yet some goose says he's compatible to Darcy Lussick .

I'm dumber for reading that load of shit .
Matt Scott has played two f**ken games this year! He is 32 years old and long-term injured. He will never play for Queensland or Australia again.

Thurston is probably on close to a mil. Scott would be well under half that. The rest are just depth players who wouldn't make the 17 over the players they've got. They've picked up TMM who isn't quite Thurston but is not a bad replacement at all. The team was as full strength as its going to get last night. They might lose Hess, which would be a significant loss.
JT is on $1.25m/year and Scott would have to be on at least $750k/year from next season considering Newie offered him $2.7m for 3 years.

Scott hasn't been an elite forward since 2014. He is obviously still a first grader but by 2016 he was at about the Darcy Lussick level. Then 2017 started and he picked up a season ending injury at the age of 32. His value dropped massively and then he re-signed for two years.

His last contract might've been over $500k but he was worth more then as well.
Watch the 2015 final series, especially against the Storm in Melbourne. Then tell us how 2014 was his last year of being elite! Scott was hampered by a back injury in 2016. If he stays injury free, Scott will play for Queensland and Australia in 2018.

You're right about that! When has a side cheated the salary cap like Parra did and ended up winning the wooden spoon before they got caught?
