Round 13 Parra v Cowboys - Game Day

[Eelementary]

Please do not tell me you are trying to defend Monday's loss?

No, not at all - I've said many times we should have won it.

But the team we were facing aren't exactly bush footballers..

They come from Townsville.

:lol: Touché!

I maintain that any side with the Cowboys' pack and JT in it is never out of the contest, though.

Have you ever been there? I am told it's like Brisbane without Brisbane's classy culture.

Most of my family live in Brisbane. That's why I live in Sydney.

Brisbane's classy culture.

I can't believe you mentioned Brisbane, and culture, in the same sentence, let alone classy. FMD!!

This breakdown shows just how poor Reece Robinson is at fullback

I took you as a person to instantly recognise sarcasm when you saw it, Suity.

The entire Parramatta Eels family of fans, players, staff and management need urgent crisis counselling.

That's an excellent analysis. But not only does it show why we lost last week, it also shows why we're a poor team and have been for sometime.

We have little understanding of the 1% things that make you win game and be successful and until we rectify that issue winning premierships is never going to happen.

Settle down mate, i live there

Nah you are right it's full of inbred cornfeds, and it gets worse further North you go.

Given the teams continual fade in the second half im wondering is their fitness is not what it should be. Much was made of errors and high tackle counts exhausting players at the back end of games yet recently the ratio of posession is pretty even yet the fade and lethargy continues. Did we not employ a new trainer this season?

We haven't been fit in the last 5 years imo

After watching that analysis, I paid close attention to Tedesco last night.

He was caught out of position defensively a couple of times, just like Robbo.

I thought the Robinson issue raised was the least of our worries. I'd be surprised if more than half the fullbacks in the comp are not out of position most of the time.

Would be nice if the halves realised the forwards were fatigued and kicked the ball out in the second half.

The most telling one was the incident in the first half where John Olive dropped the ball with the line wide open - Olive broke the winger's tackle and merely had to run 7 metres to score, and Tedesco was near the posts jogging to the corner. Luckily for Tedesco, Olive dropped the ball, because he was badly out of position.
