THE pressure on Jarryd Hayne and Daniel Anderson to repair their relationship and rescue Parramatta's season cranked up yesterday after the Eels slumped to a third straight loss in New Zealand.
A 35-6 thumping at the hands of the Warriors has left Parramatta's much-touted premiership hopes on a knife-edge and the club four points adrift of the top eight.
With a must-win clash against the Cowboys next week, the Eels now find themselves in need of the same sort of late-season surge that took them to the grand final last year.
Hayne and Anderson have crucial roles but have to repair a fractured relationship first to turn around a side drifting dangerously out of contention with nine games remaining.
Anderson, who appeared noticeably calmer in his post-match media interviews after his controversial comments about Hayne last week, said the Eels could only afford to lose three more games.

"We have to get a certain amount of points. I am not sure what that's going to be but it's going to require us to win half-a-dozen games," the Eels coach said.
"We still have the opportunity to win a half-dozen games and we have to win a half-dozen games at least.
"We need to not mope and not get too downhearted about losing three games in a row."
Anderson said he replaced Daniel Mortimer in the second half because the tiring young pivot appeared "rattled" by the Warriors forwards, who had targeted him in defence.
Warriors coach Ivan Cleary said the win was his side's best of the season - against an Eels team that has scored just three tries in three games.
"This was the most controlled I've seen us play for a long time," said Cleary, whose side have now won three games in succession.
"It just felt like we were in control for most of the game, yet it was 12-6 with 20 minutes to go.
"I really wanted us to get more than six ahead because we had a lot of field possession in the second half.
"But the boys didn't panic and carried on playing the way we spoke about playing."
