Eels booed at halftime and fulltime!

Why doesn't he deserve it? He wasn't any better than any of the other players.

I really don't get why anyone is feeling sorry for Nathan Hindmash, he's part of the problem. He's too old, slow and he can't break a tackle to save his life, he is supposed to be a senior player leading by example yet he was a passenger last night. With all due respect to him and what he has done for the game, I think it's time he hangs up his boots.

Personally I don't agree with booing your team, but if the team is going to get booed then no one should be immune.

He's played on for about 5 seasons too long

Why should anyone feel sorry for hindmarsh? They were booed because they were f**king dog ordinary and hindmarsh was one of their worst. Falling off tackles on Luke Walsh? Good grief. Just retire already

Agree with all of these points.

I've seen the Knights put in some absolutely woeful performances and been frustrated like hell because of it - BUT - I have never once booed them, I have never once left a game early and I never will.

One of my biggest gripes when going to the footy is when people start leaving the game early. Can you imagine how demoralising it is for a team to glance up and see people making a mass exodus?

I'm sure people are going to disagree with this and say that the best way for the team to learn is by fans venting their frustration but honestly I just think it makes matters worse.

It's easy to be a fan when your team is winning but the true measure of support is how you react when they're losing and losing hard. I will never curse the team that I love.

I would have thought that Roberts and sandow in the halves were a great match, maybe they are desperately missing the hayne train for the 3rd weapon..

On paper they should be a shoe in for the 8,

The Titans buying spree will leave it hard to keep their current back rowers minichello and co, perhaps a couple of work horse's is what's needed there at parra?

Am I missing something? What does anyone see in Roberts?

I'm still not rulling Parra out until we've seen Hayne play a months worth of footy.

I was there last night, and I booed them. I also stayed until after the siren.

I'll never be down on them for losing. However I will show my displeasure when they don't put in any effort. Which has been the case this year, as said by others when you're getting palmed off by Luke Walsh you're not giving 100%.

I feel sorry for the families who pay $150+ for tickets and have to put up with that level of intensity.

Roberts and Sandow were never going to work, they're both instinctive footballers who can't organize and don't always take the right option.
Besides Roberts is rubbish

No shame to say you didn't watch the whole game. It was awful. I don't follow either team so I couldn't see any point in watching it. Unless you had a bet on last try scorer or are a Penrith fan the second half had nothing to offer. I switched it off after 30 mins and switched back for the later game.

I feel for you Parra supporters. We have been there. It sucks balls being a supporter when the side just isn't putting in and you know something isn't right inside the club.

Roberts might be putting in, but seriously he is a road bump in defense. No doubt the boys around him are not helping him, but FFS he just plain cannot tackle. No technique at all.

They're professional athletes, they shouldn't need encouragement from the crowd to put in the required effort to be competitive.
