NO.
If we win - you beauty, if we lose - you beauty ! BA will have them pumped after a loss and we will play a side just making up the numbers ! Give me 5th spot any day !
Are you a long term Eels supporter or do you have recent amnesia? (Yes i know the real answer, but you know)
It would be the most Parramatta thing to lose this week and then play Cowboys next week and get our asses handed to us........it's what we do!!!
We SHOULD beat the Rabbitohs tonight but what i have learned being an Eels fan is that they will make it as hard as possible to win or just not turn up, i.e. the recent Newcastle game.
I would rather win this week and lose next week to keep us in the finals one week longer than lose tonight and have the stress of knowing that we need to rely on the team (to win next week) who were just beaten by a very understrength Rabbitohs team with 4th spot (or possible 3rd spot) on the line.
Plus playing Melbourne down there and challenging them would be the best thing we could do imo. We will learn a lot more from that than potentially smashing a shitty Cowboys team........
