I'd be furious if I was an Eels supporter, what a gutless performance.

Bit sad getting furious over a footy game tbh. We looked like a side whose halves had never played together, that complete inability to attack coupled with some poor discipline put pressure on our defence and the Cowboys are too good to give a free pass to. Much better than us tonight. But they're a top 6 side and because we have probably the worst hooker in the game and lack a genuine big body we're a 6-12 side.

How could any team pay Moses in excess of 700 grand a year. The Cows like every other side in the comp knew were to send their runners. Most over rated player since Anasta

Bwaith was George Piggins nephew. Had some cred for that. Mitch on the other hand was Back Doors neph ffs.

But yes both overrated. Bwaith did get a Blues jersey so that puts him with that other Mitch.....

And that is the difference between us and a top team. Might scrape into the eight but we were simply outclassed and Thurston ripped us to shreds.

Must forget this game and focus on next week which is a 4 point game.

He's now crunching statistics(like Dexter on Perfect Match)so he can tell us how well Moses played and is in the top 3 halves in the comp. bwahahahaha

Moses tried hard. Not sure Kenny Edwards is the right man to defend inside him when comes on. Love Kenny but he's an, errm, enthusiastic defender and that can leave Moses isolated.

Norman was far, far worse. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but he was clearly not ready, that's probably the worst game he's played for us. And compounded by trying to slot himself back in as the main play maker. He stifled everything.

I think Parra have players trying to do too many things and not doing anyone of them well.

Definitely the case tonight. Hopefully as Moses and Norman settle in to their roles that will change.
Hope so. Plenty of my mates are Eels fans so I want to see them do well.
Is Arthur the man to take them forward though??
