I would expect this Thursday's crowd to be abt 10k. The riff going garbage and i think our feelgood start to the season has now eroded.
Rubbish day of the week to get to a game, you basically can't take kids, others have soccer and footy training and once mediocrity has set in its easier to stay home and watch then make some adjustments to be at the ground

LOL go us.

Do you honestly believe what you write?

We lost and your here trying to pluck positives from it?

Sums up Parramatta's mentality right there, accepting mediocrity.

The Cowboys were garbage, we let them make 70-80m every set, that wasn't through there own good will.

We have been an inexperienced away side since what 2006? 13 years on and what has changed? But it's all good we might learn one day.

We didn't lose any big moments at all, we lost through our own stupidity that regular normal first graders would nail. We are beyond dumb, we would turn them away time and time again only to drop the ball and give it right back.

No excuses for this shit, how you or anyone see's positives is baffling.

Is a team really garbage if they are making 70-80m per set?
You can’t put that all on the opposition.

They were a bottom 4 team last year. And are currently a bottom 4 team this year. I'd say they are pretty garbage. Unfortunately we were worse.

El D, Ram, Hineyrulz thought we should be competing for a premiership last season, just off the top of my head based on "discussions" about that very thing last year. Including references from me to the Tigers, the 2014 implosion of their board and the fact they are still struggling to recover. a few others liked some of the posts attempting to argue against my thoughts, too. Although to be fair I never know how seriously hiney is about his arguments...

I have two of them on ignore now, but I'm sure you can search it yourself through my posts if you require further clarification.

Stick it arse wipe. Considering we made the top 4 the year before, colour me logical if I had expectations of making at least the 4 again.

Jeez you and some other posters here will say any old crap just to save their own dumb face.

I hope I'm one of the posters you put on ignore. If not do us both a favour and do so please.

Lol.

Gives people shit for being insulting, is the first to insult anyone else. f**king jackass pissant.

The Ram? More like The Ewe lmao

And yes, I do have you on ignore. But I like to check in eveyy so often, give myself a nice chuckle. You rarely disappoint when read in small doses.

Haha

We've been better than them this year. The results of one game at their home ground doesn't change that.

I didn’t say we haven’t been better than them overall. I replied to someone who suggested they aren’t garbage. They are. I also implied they were only better than us on the weekend when I stated “unfortunately we were worse”.

They've been shit without Taumalolo but are obviously better with him, just as they are better at home.
They are clearly shitter than us. And we lost to them which makes us even shittier. Which means they’re clearly not shitter than us, so maybe we aren’t that shit after all? :thinking:

We were a bottom 4 team last year and are a top 8 team this year. So I guess we can’t be that bad. In fact we have massively improved - this time last year we had won only 2 games. This season we have already more than doubled that.

We had a shit day at the office. It sucks. I was crying foul and was pretty miserable all Saturday night after that performance. I will give the Cowboys their due though as they played to their strengths and rolled over us and waited for us to capitulate, which has been the winning game plan against Parra for over a decade now.

We let the Knights, Raiders and Storm do the exact same thing but miraculously it doesn't happen at home.

I think that is more then enough to suggest we allow it ourselves through awful middle defence and around the ruck.

I am not one for stats and don't fuss over them much but I think I have heard we have conceded the most tries through our middle in the comp. That says enough, we do it to ourselves.

We do, and hopefully we can learn from it.
Remember, we have one of the youngest/most inexperienced swoon the comp (if not the most inexperienced, I’m not sure). Games like the ones we have lost will happen with such a squad especially on the road. The best thing we can do is take these experiences and learn from them and hopefully add some more experienced players to the team for next season.
For as shit as they have been, the Cowboys and Knights have a ton more FG experience than we do, and sometimes this can get them through games more than talent can. It’s how the Cowboys were able to make the GF a couple of years ago even when their best player was injured. It’s how the Storm can win games they have no right to win, like last Thursday.
We can get there, but we need to be patient and suffer through some really frustrating games in order to do so.

I agree with all of it, but it's been this way for over 10 years, I think fans are finding it hard to deal with after so long that we are back to the "learning" game.

We have been suffering for too long and whenever it looks like things are on the up they rip you straight back down.

I understand we are learning and tough times are ahead, but efforts like the Storm game, and the beginning of the Raiders and Knights games for me are inexcusable, we can't keep making excuses for rubbish. I know they are young but to get embarrassed like we did last week vs Storm is nothing short of garbage and no excuse cuts it. It just shows how mentally weak, fragile and how much they have to learn. Simple. They have no ability to stem the flow and turn the tide and no other team in the comp is as fragile and open to a flogging like we have, and for a long time it's been the case.
