Nope, not this time. Mightily impressive second half performance from Parra. Next week will test them though, especially if it's Melbourne. Brisbane and Melbourne are the two teams who can meet Parra's flair with some flair of their own.

Top 3 teams after the regular season all choke?

Nope, it just supports the thesis that the competition should be shortened; perhaps 22 rounds. If it were, Parramatta would not have been in this game.

The competition rewards inconsistency in the season proper.

Either make it 32 rounds, with a first past the post system. Or reduce the number of rounds for a finals series.

Well done Eels, their unstructured play is so hard to defend against. Congrats to Anderson, hes taken another team to the Finals.

Better luck next year doggies! Hayne should be playing next week, if not, the codes a joke. I really don't want to have to follow AFL. Will NRL ruin their Grand Final?

What a match. Great crowd, great contest. Bulldogs defended grimly in the first half, and deserved their half time lead, but in the end the Eels' second phase play was just too much to hold for 80 minutes.

I don't understand. Dragons won the minor prems, but were woeful their last few games. Is that consistency?

Go the donkeys tomorrow night - a 6th vs 8th Grand Final, with massive turnarounds performed by both teams to get there, would be something of a curiosity.

I cant see the parra fans who called the tigers premiership a 'bradbury' saying the same if they win the comp.

What???

The eels have beaten the minor premiers, the 2nd placed team and the 3rd placed team. It compares in NO WAY to the Tigers

Give yourself an uppercut!
