billy slater on the post match just described the way parramatta uses the ball as:

Stale, old school, forwards orientated and an in ability to know when to use and promote the footy. Used Lanes line break as a example of when parra had to use the footy and instead just went back to one out running and getting to our kick.

i dont like him cause hes a storm/qld great but hes as sharp as they come.
Yep. Picked him as a smart coach well before Origin. Hes smart, has passion and is current.

Piss poor

Can't fix the edge defence by being beaten in the middle
Yep. We were beaten all over the park. Line speed, enthusiasm, play the ball, kick - chase, general kicking, up the middle, out wide, captains challenge and under the high ball. The only thing we didn't do was kick out on the full. It's also obvious that once we start getting put to the sword we have no fight back ability and grind ouselves into capitulation. Gutho saying that "we didn't come here to play, tonight" is a piss poor statement to make. There's no excuse for the lacklustre effort that they put in tonight considering how much they had to gain and lose on the result and how many times they've been humiliated by the Bunnies.

Every time we have a huge week in the media the inevitable occurs.
Drown. Contract talks.
Penisini. Contract talks.
Ice. Contract talks.
Jake. One good kick and one harbour bridge pass that could have been intercepted and hes a media darling and superstar.
Not sure how we control this but we are absolute suckers for enjoying our own press.
Add to that, its obvious we have very little structure. Defensively inept and offensively moments of individual brilliance with old school backline plays.
Gee we need new voices and we need them bad.

Yep he probably would make a great first grade coach but Highly doubt our club will go for someone like him as our next coach probably hire Rankin...

We only respond to bad press and criticism.

Anytime we got praised we fold like a deck of cards the following week.

I genuinely feel sorry for those TCT Guys 60s & 40/20. How many times have they had to do their Gig at the club after an utter capitulation? Im sure they'd rather just go home and forget it ever happened. Maybe next game guys. 👍

The first two words describe the coaching staff to a tee. The rest describes the inabilities of the coaching to a tee.

Settle down Gazza at least you didn't have root canal surgery like poor old hineyrulz.
Met a bloke at a bar in Phuket last night who was in the dentist chair for 4 hours yesterday. He reckons he was quoted $4500 for the work in Australia, got it done for $1200 here.
