09 :: R8 Fri :: Eels 28 Cowboys 18 @ Parramatta

[aussies1st]

Cowboys defence has been solid this season can't say the same for the Eels so would have to go with them.

 

[hineyrulz]

We just suck ATM, a backrow featuring Lowrie,Smith and Weller FFS. If the Cowboys are serious they should win well.

If the eels win...............i will be quoting this post, haha!!!

Oh no...... :shock:

clearly the cows arent very serious..

20-0 to the eels.

45 gone.

Eels backrow might be nothing special, but eithe is the cowboys pack.

f**k me, what kind of sh*t is this.

Id love to know what Neil Henry's away record is as head coach, he can't prepare for away games for sh*t. (I know they smacked the Sharks not long ago, but it was the Sharks ffs.)

Sharks werent even at home anyway.

 

[Jono078]

True that.

I couldn't be stuffed watching this one, but Cowboys must be sh*t to have gone down to the Eels.

So annoyed i'm only 1/2 in tips now.

 

[Solid]

Cowboys looked promising late in the game, but it was all too late. Eels have a performance to build on.

Same old story for Cowboys. No discipline and sh*thouse ball handling.

They should just practice play-the-balls and catching all week at training. And then move onto tackling when the boys are ready. The ball skills demonstrated by some of forwards is just disgraceful. They are elite football players FFS..

Bad team is bad. Frustrating to watch as always.

 

[pantherz9103]

Eels looked great in the opening 10 minutes and did enough to go on with it obviously. Cowboys handed them the initiative though with poor kicks, poor penalties and a pretty ordinary effort from all involved. 1 from 2 in the tips. Just can't ever seem to pick 2 from 2 on a friday :?

 

[fish eel]

Lay off the drugs..... please.

:lol:

Highly unlikely the Eels will win...... if they do it will be a turnaround of epic proportions. It will take more than Hayne moving to fullback.

 

[Timmah]

I dare say he's happy to be wrong :lol:

 

[beave]

*cough cough*

I think I got this new strain of Gorilla flu.


You were saying Colonel????

 

[elyod138]

Tamou needs to stay in first grade.

 

[beave]

He was a breath of fresh air. If Henry doesnt move Bolton back to 2nd row, LOD to 13, Webb to a deep fryer and let Tamou come off the bench, than he can go and get f$%ked because that was the best debut (which isn't saying much) from any cowboys forward for about 10 years.

A couple of ridiculous decisions ruined what could have been an excellent finish to this game.

First, we have 80kg thurston penalised for "tackling" a 120kg prop who was trying to run through him to get to a lose ball.

Then, we have a penalty given to parramatta after Bird deliberately tried to obstruct Williams from getting to the ball.

If they even make 1 correct call out of those 2 I think the cowboys could have snatched victory. Parramatta were shot for the last 10 minutes of that game.

 

[skeepe]

Disappointed to see the video ref ruin what would have been a great finish by incorrectly awarding the Eels' last try and incorrectly denying the Cowboys a try.

For the Eels try, there was clearly on offside player within 10 metres and advancing towards the ball, and I'm still scratching my head as to how the video ref ruled that the Cowboys player somehow did something wrong at the end, that was a clear try.

That's at least 2 matches Parra have won this year due solely to poor officiating.

Also interesting to note: no Grubmarsh and they finally get a win. They should keep him out longer if they want to keep winning.

:lol::lol::lol:

Jeez you're pathetic...both were correct calls. The referees may have been sh*t, but they had no effect on the result. The Cowboys just didn't show up

 

[scottyeel]

Was bullsh*t how many forward passes the cowboys were allowed to get away with.

i didn't realise we should take into account players weights when assessing penalties.
