Contact looked suss, but Parra waved away the conversion before the refs thought about it.Could have been an 8 pointer......
Yeah it cancelled out the Thompson “try”Suck shit Parra, suck shut Brad Arthur.
Thank f**k that dodgy strip try didn’t influence the result!
Eels were due for a shocker, has been coming for a couple of weeks now. They’ll bounce back once they get a few Troops back, which will probably be next week
A few less dropped balls and you probably would have got us in the second half, we were getting steamrolled for a while there. Parras run metres were massive.I reckon you're right.
We are not yet at the Roosters', or Storm's, level, of maintaining large winning streaks.
I suppose this was the loss we had to have.
But I'm proud that we at least made the Sea Eagles nervous - the Eels' first 20 minutes of the match were diabolical.

I wonder what would have happened if after Gutho said “we’re not taking the conversion” the ref said “ok, but it was a potential 8 point try so you’ll still need to take the penalty kick”Could have been an 8 pointer.....
You're right it does sound stupid.This probably sounds stupid, considering we lost, but I am actually pretty proud - it finished 4 tries apiece, and had we turned up to play in those first 20 minutes...
Not to take anything away from Manly, who were the better side, and deserved the win - but it's weirdly comforting to know that we can play like crap, and still almost pull off a miraculous recovery.
You're right it does sound stupid.
