Actually, thinking about this, I'd like us to win the game, so that we finish on 28 points.

Then hopefully in the club's "post-season review" they can reflect on the fact that 28 points was NOT enough to make the finals, and that the coach and players f**ked up by aiming low, instead of realising their season was on the line a few months before they seemed to own up to the fact.

As a result the coach will be told he has not earned an extension, and hopefully some of our well paid players (who might have enjoyed the "feel" of playing for a nice bloke like Hages) might take a long look inside themselves and perhaps pledge to play with more passion and teamwork and commitment EVERY game in the future....

its doable i guess but to win by that margin we need the parramatta CONtenders to show up not the PREtenders we have had this year

It would be funny if we did actually come out and win by this margin with everyone writing us off from even being a mathematical chance to make the semis. It is possible but it isn't going to happen lol. We'd have to hold a team scoreless... "Doable", but not probable for the eels of this year. I wonder if they are going to go into the game with an attacking mindset? If we only JUST got beaten by the dragons last week then this wouldn't be a problem... at least it gives people a reason to watch for the first 5 minutes, until the warriors score.

if Parker had his kicking boots on we would only have to win by 48!

Tonie Carroll too lol

.... I don't know exactly where that came from, but I'd get warned for something like that. For some reason I'm a knob for saying the scoreline is possible but improbable? At least I'd address the topic at hand.

Oh okay, thanks for clearing that up. I can accept all knob related comments as long as it's to do with my support of Hagan. It's a widespread misconception that he is bad for the eels, one that will be disproved next year.

You are entitled to your opinion. Have a good day. I'm just depressed that our season is over. I take the knob comment back.

lol It's alright mate as long as it was partially tongue and cheek. Yeah our season is over, but I hope there is some good football played tonight... and who knows... 50 points? LOL ...

It would have to be an un-eel like miracle.

It's sad realizing that this is the last time we will see the Eels for a while.

Yes and no. I mean at least the heart break can be put on hold for 6 months or so.
