So despite Para being shit they only lost because of Marshall's dive.

Pretty much. If only that pathetic excuse of a penalty wasn't given.........

We know we are rubbish - if the Tigers believe they are playing finals footy this year, they are deluded.

Winning 31-0 for 68 minutes it can only be the Tigers (or probably Souffs) to somehow let in 5 tries in the final 12 minutes. Eels made the Tigers left side defence their bitch when they found out how flimsy it was, any good side would've scored 10 there. Gold Coast would be licking their lips knowing only they just have to pass it to the right to get easy points.

I was thinking about people like you when I was watching it. Had the same thing happen to be with Melbourne last week. Had them 12 and under then Inu carried the ball like he was playing basketball...

Well, the Tigers were the better team and deserved to win. You can take the 2 points, you need them. But that last 15 minutes was some of the worst football from them you will ever see - and the Eels bombed a try in that period.

The Eels were equally poor for the first 65, with the 5 metre forward pass and huge double movement just classic. Much as he has been up and down, Sandow may have been enough to give the Eels the win today. Its hard to see either team making the 8 at the moment, but there are a lot of games to go.

Tigers get the wobbles when teams start changing back. It's a bad habit that has cost them in finals series. Tigers have the talent to win games but all these years they are wildly inconsistent thoughout the 80 minutes of games. People call the team soft, but what is the common denominator all these years of Tigers ups and downs.

Tim Sheens. The guy is by the all evidence I can see not capable of installing a similar culture to the likes of Melbourne, Brisbane and Manly. The players are way too comfortable and it shows with disgraceful things like we witnessed this afternoon. Sheens has been here 10 years and that is way too long. It shows the way these guys play. They will still make the finals but thats about it.

Parramatta are shocking and will finish bottom 2.

Without trying to excuse the Tigers' pathetic last 10 mins, I imagine that they would've played with more urgency if a Parra victory were ever possible. The Tigers were just enough points ahead to ensure that they would win (barring an 8 point try).

And btw it's quite conceivable that the Tigers will slip into the top 8 by the end of the year. Over the years they've made a habit of playing at the level of their opposition. There's not much that can be read into the game this afternoon. If the Tigers had capitulated with the game on the line it would've been quite different.

I doubt we will make the finals Eddie.

No other team in the comp would let this Parramatta side score 30 points against them.

I don't think we'll make the finals either. The only thing giving me some sort of hope is the fact that there really aren't many impressive teams. Brisbane and Melbourne are miles in front, then Cronulla and manly. After that.....

I've been reasonably happy with some players however we won't do anything with the current 1&7 that we have.

Spot on. Moltzen is a weak as piss cat and Humble is a fill in utility at best with no kicking game and little creativity.

Can't do any damage in the comp with poor players in key positions. You need a quality 1,6,7,9 and we only have two out of four.

What I want to know is why the Eels don't play more ab lib footy? They don't look like scoring a point playing structured and when they throw it around they at least look somewhat dangerous.
