RD 23: Parramatta Eels v Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium 7.45pm 15/8/14

[Eelogical]

Those 5 losses this year by 4 points or less have bitten us on the arse. However, still pleased with the season thus far.

 

[Chipmunk]

When was the last game that Parra played and you thought gee we were lucky to win that we really got the rub of the green??? 2010 against Manly when Dessie ripped the door of the hinges.


I know Arthur doesn't like to whinge and complain about the refs but after tonight he really needs to go to town. It's worked for Bellamy, I watched the game with 3 bronco fans, a Penrith and a dogs one they all agreed gee the refs hate you.

Last week against the Raiders and 3 weeks ago against the Titans.

We won those because we had The Plane, no other reason. We deserved to win neither

 

[The Elephant In The room]

We made 5 mistakes tonight, 2 were if questionable strips.


Honestly I am so over this game, not one penalty the second half and not one 50/50 go our way.

But gee they had a dig I am so proud of the effort, Ben Cummins needs to be mounted by a rabid dog.

11 errors per the NRL website

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Morgan was easily the worst back out there, his defence is woeful and he has no idea to set up his outside man. Piss him off!!!

Semi takes that pass and we're laughing.

 

[strider]

so is this right?

penalty count 5-4 to dogs

only 1 penalty in the 2nd half to the dogs

we only got our first penalty at the 33 minute mark - hence got 4 in 7 minutes

so for 73 minutes the dogs were perfect little angels - yet evil mutha f**kers for 7 minutes


seems a bit f**ked up tbh

I got very similar comment from a Dragons fan. Also agreed that Morgan keeps f**king us up.

Defended the ballboy as well. As everyone should.

That hold true for most games in the last 8 or so years.

 

[Eelogical]

I don't really want to make Hoppa tonight's scapegoat though. That's the ballboy.

Has be been signed to a 3 year deal?

 

[Chipmunk]

Very true

I believe until we come up with something more than that then we won't be seeing the Top 8 consistently

 

[Delboy]

Can't blame the ball boy, for years they are told to get the ball back in play immediately

This is a new rule which causes problems every time a 40/20 is kicked.

It's all over bar the shouting. Shoulda whinged earlier, but I guess he had to establish himself.

The 40/20 has become a joke. They're basically not going to let a team take a quick tap and run away and score, so just make it a non-quick tap or a scrum and be done with.

It's an absolute Clusterf$%k at the moment.

 

[Delboy]

If we had been told at the beginning of the year that we would challenge for the top 8 and finish in the top 10, probably would have been ecstatic

The coach and new staff should be applauded, very happy with what the side has achieved

I agree. But common sense isn't too common for the powers that be.

we have that gumby for at least another year too http://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2013/05/23/mitch-allgood-and-ryan-morgan-re-sign-with-the-eels.html

 

[Jake the snake]

We got done in the first half poor defence and crapy penalties from the refs

 

[Delboy]

Just watched the presser on Fox, an angry BA , the word death stare comes to mind

Very critical of the officials, and went back and mentioned the Manly game and a few others , not happy Jan

More so the defence. First penalty they scored. Yada yada

 

[Y2Eel]

We dont win with Cummins as a ref...

 

[hineyrulz]

Semi takes that pass and we're laughing.

Too bad it was a foot behind him, Morgan is an absolute donkey and should be nowhere near first grade.

And people give Toutai shit, he was solid tonight and got us some tough metres from dummy half. Morgan is quick, runs good lines and can hit a hole but is pretty much terrible in everything else he does.
