RD 20: Parramatta Eels v Gold Coast at CBUS Super Stadium 26/7/14

I never thought we'd win until we got twelve in front. Our forwards were much better than I expected.

Fui looked like a first grader again.

Best game from Fui in a season or two. Peni wasn't missed.

Let's just enjoy the year, most didn't even expect us to be in the running for the top eight. And we 6 rounds left, we have the top 8 in sight still.

We are only going to get better as side over the next 2-3 years

This post has too much sense going for it.

The Titans defended very well. They came into the game in good form.

I'm not sure 1 win is good form.

Neither team was great tonight, but neither team was that bad either. It was a close contest, with The Plane the difference.

As great as that was to see an Eels win it is going to be a much harder hill to climb against teams higher than us on the ladder to reach the 8. I thought we just played ourselves away from home tonight. However, I did enjoy that win.

harder hill teams higher on the ladder than us? 4 of our 6 games left are against the bottom 4 sides - sharks, raiders x 2, knights

we win those 4 we are in the 8

Special mention to Kenny Edwards, gee he is a smart tough footballer. He is striking up a nice combo with Norman.

Very well said!

Go parra!

Hoppa will only improve with match fitness
Edwards was solid and held it together when tits threatened to get away. Really should have a try assist credit to his name , Semi let him down.
Sef Paulo still offers nothing.
Sandow brought his fave kicking tee but jeez the field goal was really a brain snap
Hayne of course , nothing more to be said.....

If we win the 4 games against the bottom 3 sides, we make the Top 8. Pure and Simple.

If we don't make the Top 8 from here then the players and the team have no one but themselves to blame.

I think Eelogical started the drinks quite early today

I think Kenny Edwards was very good tonight. I think it's one of, if not the best, games he has played.

What a let down. We needed to win by 166, not 6. Get some primary school teacher on the payroll to teach these idiots some basic maths.

Yes, I know who we play. All I am saying is that we will be lucky to make the 8 based on how we have played this season. Manly at home will be the litmus test.

I reckon Hoppa did his shoulder again very early on.

Well top 5 teams in front of us roosters/Penrith both lost to sides in the bottom 3 yet we defeated a side one win from the top eight. It is a crazy comp

I think Eelogical started the drinks quite early today

around 6am after Australia won the GOLD in the mens 4 x 100 relay in Glasgow?

 

[El Diablo]

Semi had a Totai

For and against is our issue, I can see 28 points being eight spot and us getting three more wins. But still
missing out

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

But really, just nice to get a win. And to see some repeat sets.

Hayne was right tho in the after-game interview when he said they couldn't win playing like that against the better teams. While I'm on Hayne, some great stuff in the second half but I wish he'd celebrate with the team, not running to the crowd for accolades. There's some decent research I believe that celebrating with your team first leads to more success.

We're no chance of winning in Newcastle. The others are all a chance.
