This was always going. Be a season with massive issues, when ta very selfish footballer who is by far abs away your best player, walks out without notice and no chance to recruit

Full back is such a crucial position and we see the results of the season from someone "chasing a dream at 26 years of age with no concern for his team mates", no excuse for the lack of leadership on field for 15 minutes ., but anyone who didn't see the damage that was left behind by JH is kidding themselves

Hayne's decision to go and chase an NFL deal has zero relevance to what happened at Parra Stadium last night IMO. If you've got a vendetta against Hayne fair enough, go and post all you like about it in a Hayne Haters Homepage thread all you like, but I don't see any point mentioning it this match thread.

The team were good enough to make the comp frontrunners look out of their depth for 50 minutes last night, all without JH who is long gone. They've clearly moved on, everyone else should too.

Agree. Hayne would have diffused most those tries from kicks last night. He certainly would not have been out of position like Robinson anyway.

Robinson had a shocker.

I know Pou has his haters but he does make a good point, while Hayne has left we still haven't replaced him in squad by spending his salary on new players. We are next year with Scott / Foran - who I believe will make a massive difference.

Sarcasm does you both no favours.

We led the form team buy 30 - that's a great effort.

OK we fell away and that's a problem. We dropped in intensity and let them back in. Needs to be fixed.
Mate we are sick of losing and the pathetic excuses. The club should change its name to the Parramatta Excuses because it's all we hear and it's all that they are good at.


Sure scoring 30 points against the Cowboys was great but any good that was done was blown away in just 12 mins when they let in 5 tries. Yes that's right 5, sitting 2nd last and losing the unlosable yet again I just can't see how anyone can continually find positives at where we are at. Someone pass me some Unicorn juice please.

No, hat wa snot the point, glad to see you tried to make something out of nothing. Was pointing out that this season was always a problem due to his actions, if you think different,y then so be it

Said there was no excuse for the capitulation and queried on field leadership, imagine the Cowgirls if Thurston wandered off in November to trek the Himalayas and find himself


I try to point out the same thing. If you took thurston out last night we win by plenty.If you take thurston out and put Hayne in our side we win by 70....

AS far as the SANDOW scape goat goes.It only take one good charge or run to change momentum in a set. Everytime a team runs down his side they get that.And that is what they did yesterday.
There are a few areas we need to fix in our team. Fullback and WING are now our priorities. There does not seem to be much in the under 20's coming thru that will help us next year - Maybe Twal and ALiaoi will add some depth in the forwards.

We should be extending Normans contract now as well.

not to mention we can't field a good team because of salary cap dramas because we're forking out money for players at other clubs

I just watched the presser. Basically Arthur went on to say that we are a mentally weak team who can only play for 70mins. We cant handle losing momentum, No leadership was shown out on field. Same problem all season we have to fix this.
My thoughts are we are lucky to play 55 mins not 70mins. Arthur didn't seem to take any responsibility for the loss and kept repeating we are a 70minute side after every question.
I also think B.A. could as they say these days lose the players if this keeps up.

Like I have said many times before, too many Polynesians in the team. Semi for example is not a Polynesian. At least with Foran and Scott both coming, even though we have paid way to much, that is slowly being addressed by the coach. Once we get down to no more the 5 in the team, we may start to see sustained positive results.

Rubbish.

We actually worked hard to be in that position. We deserved to be leading by that score. We were good.
We also deserved to lose because we lost the plot. There can be no excuses.

Suity

Spot on.

It was the non-Polynesian Sandow and Morgan getting carved up last night.

Do you think that was because the Polynesians gave them some kava at half time??

What did we have last night - like 6 Polynesians in the team??? Didn't the Cows have 6? The Broncs had 6 on the weekend, and they are top of the table.
Doesn't everyone have 6 or more??

I'm ignorant to the true cause of our clubs mental weakness over the past 15 years. Having said that, I don't think that Luke Burt is the guy we need standing behind the goal line with the boys whilst we implode once again.

No. Didn't notice that!

He was never the professor of standing up when things are hard....

Come on Baz, not many people on here share Rams racist rubbish point of view. And as someone said the Kiwis are the current world champs with a side stacked with Polynesian players.

It's amusing that if you post an unsourced article your post gets deleted, but you can post racist rubbish and that's just fine....

Actually I would like to ask how Sandow was penalized for not being square, when the play the ball was 1m from the line. He was shoulder to shoulder with defenders.

Nah, he was offside!

To his credit, it was a try if he didn't get involved in that particular case.

What was it about Morgan not being Polynesian that inspired him to make his 2 runs for 12 metres Ram?

Why is robbo copping the shit for kicks when most of them targeted the wing and centre?

And half the people blaming him are card carrying members of you can't bag the club for not having signed a fuback even for next year club anyway?

Morgs was saving himself for the defensive effort needed towards the end. That's why he didn't get involved much. Smart white man play right there.

Not his fault he got stuck next a polynesian in the defensive line (Hoppa) - and Sandow was stuck next to a Polynesian (Moeroa). Now poor ol' Morgs - how is he supposed to use all that energy he saved for defence effectively? There were some dudes around him asking if he wanted a canoe race after the game.
They distracted the superior concentration skills of the white man.

Had there only been 5 polynesians (not 6, but 5) in the team, then nobody would've been passing the kava at half time, singing songs under the goalposts, and issuing canoe race challenges when they were supposed to tackle. It is that 6th polynesian that makes the difference

I can't believe you guys don't see where Ram is coming from? 5 Polynesians max. Not 6. 6 leads to all sorts of nonsense. 5 is uber.

It's not just racist redneck conspiracy theorists like ram. I'm a ludicrously passionate Eels fan and I'm sick to death of deathriding, negativity, and nothing but tearing the side down. Last night is the worst I've felt as an Eels fan but some of the shit I've seen around the place from fellow "fans" makes me feel sick. People stay strong and try to stay positive and support their side and get abused and ridiculed for it. It's pathetic IMO and just personally I've had enough. Most of the decent fans apart from yourself and a few others left here long ago (it's just not a problem here though)...ever wonder why?

The NRL has around 38% mixed Islanders. Out of that I would say around 10-12% are top notch and have the right mental toughness that can equal anyone else that the success of the Kiwis.

We seem to have mostly of the other 25-27% that aren't worth squat when in the trenches.

As for Morgan he isn't even good enough to be a Polynesian.

And for those who are scape goating Sandow again, He didn't miss every tackle in that 11 min onslaught of patheticness. No that was a whole team effort.

Example, I didn't see Sandow losing the speed of the ruck at that time. Did any of you. And if that is the case, what do we all know about the ruck fellas???

Yeah, it was all Sandow's fault.

You have to question the Stats in a game when Morgan only ran 12 metres, when I and everyone else watching the game seen him run 30 metres in one run and then lose the ball.
