I hope someone thinks to mention the beau Scott tackle on jt. I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet.

Based on other incidents Pauli shouldn't be suspended. But agree with Strider, it was a cheap shot.

If Alvaro was to never play FG for us again, he can join the exclusive club with Lee Te Maari of playing the shortest amount of FG for us and coming away with a win! :lol:

Edit, Henderson out of the club, we got beat by the sharkies that night.

Robinson has a dig.

He's not the strongest player physically but he stands up in important moments and he tries stuff when a game is on the line, or gets in and does some work.

He's been one of our most consistent.

Agree, many have bagged him and sure he has his faults , but I like him.

:crazy:

It's the main reason we signed players like Beau Scott and Watmough.... They put those plays on. Joey is just smoking because it was how the Dragons busted him in the semi final years ago. It makes the half think about what might be coming. The NRL have taken too much of the physical contact out of the game as it is....

Great game, but it was a lower 8 grade match. Glaring defensive mistakes that would have been maximised by top 4 teams. However, I can sleep easy tonight. Congrats to the Eels!!!

I just want to give a bit of kudos to Sandow, Mannah and Watmough - three of our most criticised were some of our best imo.

THere was a guy who played for a few seconds after cathching the kick off and then got injured and was never to be seen again.

Alvaro plays like billy rogers

Agreed. He played dumb and lazy. Tepai is miles ahead of him.

Good win Parra.

The forwards clearly out-muscled Penrith and I thought the halves showed some tremendous poise and patience. Norman has always been a talent and some of the plays he's capable of are out of this world. Unfortunately he rarely finishes anything he starts and the amount of half-breaks that go unconverted is absolutely frustrating. Thankfully for you guys the Eels were able to capitilise for Radradra's second but some of his efforts tonight reminded me of how frustrating he could be.

Also thought Junior Paulo added a lot coming off the bench. Just gave the Eels a lot more thrust than the likes of Terepo and Fa'aoso which is important since your game relies heavily on the halves having space to work with.

Still plenty of room for improvement but tonight is definitely worth celebrating.
