'14 // R7 // Easter Mon // Eels 18-21 Tigers // ANZ

[Poupou Escobar]

Fact:
Tigers score right before half time after getting a penalty for markers not being square. Replays show markers were perfectly square.

By the way this was the by far the worse decision all game.

It was a bad decision but it didn't cost us the game. The ref also let go a forward pass in the lead up to Radradra's try. The Hopoate no try was a fair call. You can't blame the refs for this one.

The no try was a correct call. Look at Lawrence's feet, he is sliding out, when brooks gets taken out he has to come in. If brooks isn't taken out its 3 on 3. The tigers and brooks were denied the opportunity. Tbh with the eye first time I thought obstruction.

But don't worry parra fans, 2 more wins and you've eclipsed the last 2 seasons.

Great crowd, parra probably didn't even need their parra parra tape deck chant.

If Lawrence doesn't come in and the ball runner goes through the hole created by the decoy then there isn't even a discussion. Just because the defensive line played the whistle and the attack had to throw an extra pass doesn't discount the fact that the overlap was created because Brooks was taken out.

As I said eariler, I reckon Gower takes Brookes out with his leg which caused him to fall, not the bump he got from Gower's arm. It was a clear no try in my mind

It was a dive wish he would fall over like that with 3 guys tackling him...
He pushed off him with both arms too...

Many's try was a no try to everyone else bar the video ref too...

The problem is a much worse one of those was let ago this round, there is absolutely no consistency in the calls making the video ref a lottery these days.

 

[Matchball]

Fair call on two of them but with Semi's try, any NRL standard goal-kicker should have slotted that over without trouble. He got struck by nerves with the game on the line.

Nerves have no place on a gambler. Oh wait.. That's why he is bad at that too.
Doubling up and free spins on max bets takes nerves of steel.

Agreed. Maybe the parra players weren't used to big crowds or chants not being played on a tape deck

 

[Jason Maher]

How am I carrying on like a dickhead? I've admitted many times parra should have won. I believe, as the majority of ppl who aren't parra fans do, that the hopoate try call was correct. This guy says a call that would have LEVELLED the scores in the 67th minute cost parra victory. I'm pointing out how stupid that is.

You're a dickhead because you're picking a fight with fans who've just watched their team throw a game away. Let it rest. Your team got the two points. Why do you need to win a fight on the internet with opposition fans on top of that?

 

[Y2Eel]

I thought it was forward, you thought it was back

I thought hoppas try was no try, you thought it was a try

Neither will convince the other. At the end of the day nothing's going to change the scoreboard.

The both floated forwards no doubt but out of hands were backwards..

I dont think it was a try i said i wasnt consistency is what i want...

Agreed just let him be ffs...

I can't believe there's Eels fan who think they were robbed.

Yeah his team won with their 2 best players out.

Take Hayne and umm umm umm I dunno, some other twat out of your side and see how you go

 

[Bazal]

Brooks initiated contact, turned in (maybe instinctively) and pushed off Gower who was running through the line, he took himself out and if we start calling those obstructions we're in trouble. But like I said, we gave away 12 points through two pathetic plays.

 

[BranVan3000]

The one that wasn't from the sideline.

Are you implying he's a poor goalkicker?

Has he ever kicked near 80% since he left Souths? I don't remember it

I believe he had a percentage around 88% when he left Rabbitohs and the stats today showed his career percentage at 80% and his stats for the year at 69%

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If sandow could goalkick, eels win.

He's kicking 80% for his career. Just this year he's been ordinary - 56% - but we score all our tries in the corner this year.

 

[Parra Pride]

I can't believe there's Eels fan who think they were robbed.

I don't think we were robbed, I still think there were some bullshit calls that went against us though.

 

[Y2Eel]

I can't believe there's Eels fan who think they were robbed.

I do by the Eels! Stupid plays gave them 3 tries....

Lol WTF? Picking a fight by disagreeing? I said him saying what he did was ridiculous

Sorry I should be in here offering hugs to all the parra fans like I'm sure you do in every post game dragons thread.

 

[The Eagle]

I can't believe there's Eels fan who think they were robbed.

They were certainly robbed one play and one try

 

[Vic Mackey]

They were certainly robbed one play and one try

Being a manly fan this guy would know all about teams being robbed

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Agreed. Maybe the parra players weren't used to big crowds or chants not being played on a tape deck

We've got no less than 14k crowds this year.
