2017 R13 Fri - Eels 32-24 Warriors @ ANZ

After that performance,and Parra really were fortunate in that try to Semi,both sides will not be getting anywhere near the 8.

The Eels only need 5 more wins, I think they'll make it. Their side is nothing special, apart from Gutherson, but they have an astute coach.

Parra will get Jenko and co back,but there is still that aura of self defeat about Parra that they can't shrug off.

If there was an "aura of self defeat" then we would've lost. I thought we did extremely well to get that win. Lost our 9 and winger in he first half then lost another 2 to injury. Won with 1 on the bench over a fast finishing warriors.

This. People don't understand how much it sucks being a nsw/parra fan over the last 8 years.

Classic RTS tackle attempt there.

I can't believe the Eels are gonna banish Gutho to the outside backs for Moses.

Before Moses came to the club we didn't have a long kicking game. We were so far behind on territory because of it people thought we had shit forwards.

Two from three with Moses in the side, and the game we lost (vs Raiders) Moses played most of the game injured.

Just telling it as it was matey. Can you honestly admit that this performance by Parra was anything to shout about?

Considering how many of our top 17 were out (including three injured during the game) I think it was a great performance.

Jennings
Norman
De Gois
Fritchard
Terepo
Mannah
Vave

plus Kritchard, Hoffman and Gower during the game.

Fox.And I did mention that you do have a number of players out. My point is that they have not been the same since their good season in 2016. There is something amiss that I can't put a finger on although you have pointed a few shortcomings.

Since Foran got injured last year we haven't had two legitimate halves on the field. Even when Moses arrived we had just lost Norman. Halves (or more specifically general play kickers) determine the quality of the end of each set. It is a massively important part of the game. It is the difference between putting the opposition under pressure or putting yourself under pressure. As good as Gutherson is, his kicking game is garbage.
