you're not at all concerned that it reflects what has been happening for a good part of the season?

No, we are five and six. it's early days. dragons were in a similar position this time last season as apposed to us. Now I'm not saying that's particularly encouraging, but im laid back. Bring on the Storm.

I used to be concerned fish. But now I just expect it. That's just the life of a parra fan.

You dirty masochist you:p

At least a good chunk of the core of this board got to actually see Parra win a premiership.

As a bicentennial baby, all I have is a minor premiership or two and eternal hope.

five and six flatters us IMO.

Those 5 wins I reckon there has only been 2 solid 80 minute performances of any quality.

Suppose thats why teams like Parra, Sharks, Souths and the likes don't have any trophies of late. We aren't there to make up the numbers. I expect a fair showing out of a season and the odd premiership based on NRL criteria. This season I was expecting a seafood platter and so far all I got was a Parra Stadium pie and sauce.

the drags were crap. Gave us many chances in their half but we would stuff up in the first play.

They only got a roll on because we gave up.

As I said, of no concern to me the way that was game played out. Good to see Parra playing on a Friday night again if anything.

Why no concern? 2 losses in a row and the cheaters next week. We had a chance to cement a spot in the top 4 ....now its the back door.

No concern after tonights performance mainly, sure it's time to start jostling for a spot in the eight (four), I don't expect the sort of form in the last 14 weeks of last season to be there on tap again from the get go this season .

Psychologically we should be much more pumped to show up and put on a show next week. Parra can be rocks or diamonds at times if not all I find, therefore why I'm so nonchalant about tonight. Moving on....

Well, I don't take any loss lightly, no matter where in the season it happens, epecially a flogging.... and thats what we got tonight. Worst performance of the season. Enough said about that, I don't choose to sound negative so how about some positve, creative input for the cheaters game...

I just take it all in my stride these days. Once used to rant and rave carry on like a good sort, now I just enjoy watching the skills of the players.
No good being depressed or distressed nothing we can do to get these overpaid bloke to play to their potential. Just sit back, relax and ENJOY it..win or lose..ignore the FRUSTRATIONS of following the Eels.

It seems that at the start of every season, Parra should fill half the team with rookies because they seem to do wonders in their first year but that second year syndrome seems to always kick in. May as well just sign the best prospects on one year contracts. :roll:

From what i saw of Humble he should be on the bench next week.MK another crap game and you can say robson goes good at hooker but he is way only just holding his spot.
Hayne and mateo are just not getting the ball close to the line at the right times.Kind of frustrating...Why mateo doesnt run wide frank pritchard style at the line i dont know -Same goes with fui fui!
