You know the biggest difference between Parramatta 2010-2013 compared to Parramatta in 2014?
The fact we have a f*cking backbone and don't fold when we get behind
R3 down 10-0 against Manly, nearly won
R8 down 18-0 against North Queensland, fought back but lost
R15 down 18-0 against Melbourne, same as above
R20 down 12-6 in second half away against Gold Coast, won
R22 down 10-0 against Canberra, won
R23 down 10-0 against Canterbury, should've won
R24 down 12-0 at HT against Manly, stormed home for the win
What I am trying to say is, this is SEVEN games this season that we could've folded like years gone by and got thrashed by 40 points. Especially North Queensland and Melbourne away, at 18-0 down you would expect it to turn into 50 or 60 points, but no, we fought back. I have noticed a huge attitude change in the 5-10 minutes directly after halftime every single week (Thank you Brad Arthur).
We didn't win all of these games, in fact we only won three, but a good sign your team is building positively is how you dig deep when you are under the pump. We now have a team that is able to get into the grind and play smart patient and tough footy.
All our experiences, learning, and growth so far this year resulted in last nights second half, the best second half since 2009 (take your pick which game). Enjoy it Parramatta fans!
