Freddy before the game played a couple of ridiculous clips from last week's game basically calling Parra soft and quitters. Then he's strutting around in the post-match interviews glowing with praise. When is that half-wit going to be shown the door?

We are disgraceful. We lost to a team with nothing to play for. Lost players, lost Foran and still fought. Good on em. Hastings is a dud. Tupou is pathetic and friend is s shadow of his former self. Thank god guerra didn't play. Questions need to be asked of Robinson now. This was near enough our strongest team.

Gutho probably touched that last pass, but they shouldn't have had the ball anyway so that's a little bit of justice for the badly wrong drop out call

Gutsy win, Brad Arthur has worked miracles really

They were down to 2 on the bench 15 minutes in, down 18-6. To come back from that is huge.

Not to mention the off field crap and already missing Jennings, Foran and Takarangi. They lost their best outside back very early and their hooker. Plus Mau started in the centres.

Wrong call but we wouldnt have done jack with it anyway. Parra deserved winners.

Well Cecchin ruined that game. I'm not surprised though.

I feel a bit better re SOUTHS after watching the Rorters implode. Even though I tipped the Rorters I'm happy. Why oh why did was I thinking the Roosters team was better when they can't complete properly.

Kenny Dowall does great things but then he runs backwards.

Hastings is trash.

Copley was poor defensively.

Tupou is hot and cold. Friend has lost it.

The list goes on.........

The no penalty on Norman getting dragged in goal and the massive forward pass missed were the real dud calls.
Yea but I give some lenience in that because they're live calls. When three blokes are looking at 4-5 different angles freeze framed, it boggles the mind how they f**k it up.

So the on field refs decide gutho touches it and the bunker can't find sufficient evidence to overturn it. So it should have stayed with their original decision.

Feeling is mutual. This season is bearable watching souffs go back to there rightful place.

Agreed that the bunker f**king it up is inexcusable. Just don't think the game should have got to that situation.

Well if our season wasn't bad enough it just got worse. By far our poorest performance of the season.

Gutsiest win??not even close to it. Roosters are just crap
:( Bitter much???? don't care what anyone says that was as a gusty win as i have seen from an Eels team in a long long time.

I don't care if you don't like the Eels, but that game was a great example of why we love rugby league.

Obssesion with Guthersons touch - the Roosters shouldn't have had the ball anyway. A massive forward pass in the set and Norman was illegally dragged back in goal.

The Roosters might have have 3 tackles if Gutherson ruled to touch it - they were given every chance to win that game, they wouldnt have fluked it with a few more tackles

It's de ja vu again, this is about the 6th time the opposition have had a 'gutsy' win over the roosters.

The roosters have clearly forgotten how to win. If it's close they lose, 8 losses from 8 games with 4 points margin or less is testament to that. Of our 3 wins the tightest margin was 7 which was only due to a last minute try.
