'10 | R11 | Sat | Eels 18-22 Sharks | Parramatta

Credit to Sharks who played well but seriously what's the matter Parramatta with losing all these matches to Cronulla? :?

Gallen was incredible tonight. Over 200 metres close to 40 tackles and a couple of offloads. Hes tackles aren't like Hindmarsh either, they are incredibly effective and he kept taking it on himself to shut down moi moi. On top of that he also did all the garbage work.

I still think he is incredibly underrated. I have seen some good second rowers play the game but i don't think i would take any of them before Gallen. How he isn't on the NSW team is baffling to me.

Let's not take anything away from the Sharks.

The Sharks were terrific tonight and it was not about the Eels being down on form they were only as good as there opposition (Sharks) allowed them to be.

The Eels led by 8 at half time and were entitled to go on with the job but to the Sharks credit they fought back and did the job. Courageous perfromance all round.

Much as I don't like him personally Gallen is a super player of that there is no doubt. He was superb this evening. Credit where credit is due and he was brilliant.

I don't understand why ben smith didn't just take the tackle when he caught the deflected kick. He would have known he was miles offside.

Agree with that. They talk up Hindmarsh but Gallen is far better in attack and does as much if not more in defence. He really should be one of the Origin back rowers.

It just landed in his arms, can't be too critical. That's the irony thou. Had he of got tackled without it leading to a try it could have been play on and the Eels could have scored from that set.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

I thought it was a bit of a cripple fight.

Poor skills and discipline, tight finish but pretty sloppy.

 

[Fui!!!]

Please make Gaba a NSW selector. I don't want Hayne to play for them anymore :sarcasm:

We looked so tired out there. Sharks definitely our bogey team.

 

[Timmah]

On the contrary, I was surprised by how exciting the game was. Good atmosphere from the 13k there too.

 

[jc155776]

I thought the crowd sounded much louder then 13k as well.

Would have been a great atmosphere.

 

[Dr Crane]

i thought it was a top game. especially given the lack of origin stars. who says they aren't replaceable?

jeez i'm looking forward to mateo in particular pulling on a warriors jersey.

 

[Big Pete]

Wasn't there only one Origin player missing?

And he was probably the difference between both sides.

 

[ironhorse]

massive lol at having the sharks as your bogey team FMD, first 11-0 earlier this season now this . :lol::lol::lol:

Hayne made the Origin side as well as Tahu...

The CSSC was going off for 80 minutes..certainly shamed the eels [ONE CHANT] crowd

 

[saints81]

Lol sharks do the double haha

 

[Fui!!!]

I think the Sharks should make Parra Stadium their new home ground.

 

[Big Pete]

My apologies, I remembered Tahu just after I made my post.

Still, to use this game as an example of why this part of the season is so important is kind of droll, given Cronulla weren't effected by Origin (not enough to actually be missing any players at least) and the Eels obviously missed having their two players.

 

[nehalem]

Came down to the loss of hayne and tahu which gave them pace and that attacking prowess, came just as they were hitting top form from their last few wins. Bad timing for origin for the eels.
