2018 R8 Sun - Eels 24-22 Wests Tigers @ ANZ

[Vic Mackey]

Some horrible calls against us, particularly in the first half, but ultimately we weren't good enough to win

Benji was terrible

Missing Packer, Twal and ET who are our 3 best defenders

 

[age.s]

Great game. Parra look like a completely different team. Their forwards in particular look miles better.

 

[Rhyno]

Eels have put the comp on notice we are back baby!

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Rabs20 to appear in 3,2,1...

 

[Grapple]

Classic seeing Parra celebrate like they've just won the GF hahaha

 

[pantherz9103]

I dislike Moses

 

[Clifferd]

That’s the spirit

Beat the top teams, can’t even beat the worst teams

 

[Slackboy72]

Well done eels. Don't know who this team in red and black you beat were though.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Grats Parra.

We’re done

The effort required to win 8-6 simply isn't sustainable.

I figured the lack of class in attack would be an issue at some point once that defence started to leak points.

 

[David brown]

Oh well it was fun while it lasted

Goodbye 2018

Tigers didn't play bad.. You merkins will still comfortably make the 8... Wouldn't surprise me if Parra win another 5 in a row from here...

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Quite an entertaining match.

Good to see the ladder get compessed.

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

We didn't play well enough. 2, possibly 3 tries off garbage reffing decisions and only 1 penalty in the second half, but we should still have played better.

 

[axl rose]

Terrible really. Ill-disciplined and soft against a committed but very average team. Missing Packer badly.

 

[Front-Rower]

Matt Chechhin (who cares about spelling) man of the match

 

[Clifferd]

It’s not even that anymore, our defense has gone back into its shell again

Every try we let in was soft as butter

 

[OldPanther]

Good win ref. Really gave 110%.

 

[pantherz9103]

Eels celebrated like being 2 and 6 is something to be happy about....

 

[gordynz]

Tigers deserved to lose. So good at times and then they just gave Parra all the leg ups they needed to stay in the game.

 

[Clifferd]

Tigers didn't play bad.. You merkins will still comfortably make the 8... Wouldn't surprise me if Parra win another 5 in a row from here...

Doubt it. Dropping last week’s game and now this when we had every chance of winning will f**k us over

 

[Front-Rower]

Yes but it’s the same old players making the same mistakes. We really need IC to refine the roster again if possible.
