Parra's kicking game was incredibly odd.

So many regulation mid field bombs straight to To'o and Edwards.

The other side of the field is Charlie Staines who is not a top three kick returner in the comp.

Why not kick there or add something to the kick making it harder to catch?
That’s the way we have pretty much kicked all season, most Eels fans are shocked we got this far.

It was just weird.

Penrith's entire game plan is the back three making big metres out of their end.

Why just give them the ball?

Kicking out on the full would be a better result than giving away so much momentum.

Because we were making f**k all metres most of the game so the halves were basically just having to hoof it as best they could without time or space to place it. RCG and Paulo didn't crack the 100, we made most of our metres through the edge forwards which then puts the halves in odd positions on the field. Tough to kick well under that sort of relentless pressure.

I'm going back to sleep.

You’ll have to ask the SuperCoach that one mate, but you are right your back 3 are so important and we barely pressured them all game. If you kick like we did at least the kick chase needs to be good after the first few sets it was non existent.
